finished round by a full double row of trimming
pinked at the edgea:- the ends of the pilerine

cokrette of fine India-muslin,, scalloped at the.
edge, and trimmed with narrow lace. hat of
pinlesatin,'elegantly trimmed with puffings of the
same ; the puffs edged with narrow blond. A
rich silk shawl, of ponceau-colour, with a broad
amber border, is generally thrown over thie dress.
AFTERNOON COSTUME.....--A dress' of-very
fine jaconot with one' braad: flounce;:
embroidered in a rich and splendid pattern: The
body plain, and made exactly to fit the shape,
but encircled round the upper part of the bust
by a broad falling tudker of fine lace,'or of muslin,
beautifully embroidered, to answer the' flounce
on the -barder, of the skirt. The sleeVes' are.
long, and confined at the wrists by gold..jointed
bracelets ;- the different .partitions of which are in
points, finely wrought, and tinislie4, in the most,
masterly 'style. : The hair is arranged in, full
clustered curls and lows, among which are
mingled puffs of pink gaoe with those Of canary-
yellow. From the puffs depend long lappets,
one
.of pink, the other of es.4laly,-lellow., each, ter-
minated by two Tit.E.tiiielge .=
mini
canary-yellow satin encireleS the waist, and is
fastaned in front with a square gold buckle.
Thel ear-rings worn with this 'dress are of wrolight
601d7 and the .necklace is formed of two rows of
'gold, and. .
large pearls. We have seen' a dress sinillar
fiishion to that above described, for an evening
party ; but then 'the dress Was: of tulle over
white satin,
,and the flounce was of blond ; the
body of ,white, satin; the .sleeves.shortj and the
taks4ls on the lappets were formed of pearls.
The, whole style, however, is better adapted., ac-
cording to our :first description, for receiving
afternoon parties" at home.'
