the plumage is white, short, and most tastt fully di-
posed; it was of a light and beautiful k:ntl, but not
marabout. Dress hats are, as in general at the Sum-
mer and Autumnal recesses, the head-dress most in
favour with matronly belles; of those mow most ad-
mired are one of white crape, with superb white Os-
?kb feathers.
Among the most attractive novelties in the dresses
is one of cherry•coloured gros de Naples, pith
broad bias hem at the border of the skirt; this is
headed by a broad fringe : the body is made low, a
Saisse, end the lacing of ribbon at the stomaelcr
finishes by a bow, to the ends of which depend silver
tags. The sleeves are short, of the same material as
the dress ; and over them are sleeves d la Seduisantcg,
of rich white blond. The same kind of fringe whirl,
oinaments the hem at the border of the dress sur-
rounds the base of the corsage, rendering it in the
true Swiss style: and an ornament of fringe falls
over the back of the tucker part of the body, but
does not surround the front of the bust; cornieg no
farther from the back, on each shoulder, than to the
hollow of the arm. Dresses of slate-coloured gees
de Naples are in high estimation for half-dress; these
are also trimmed with fringe over a broad hem; a
pelerifie, the same as the dress, is worn with them,
according to the time of day, or style of chess, and
is surrounded by fringe. Printed muslins and
chintzes continue to be worn in home costume, but
white dresses yet prevail at the dcYeune. Figured
gauze, both white and coloured, is a favourite mate-
rial for full dresses; they have little novelty in their
make; a ruche of tulle, or two narrow .flounces of
white blond, fall over the head of the broad hem,
which generally finishes the border.
The newest article in out-door costume is a very
handsome and comfortable Venetian cloak of fine
Merino; a most judicious, as well as an elegant en-
velope for ladies who take country excursions in att
open carriage, during the cutting winds we have
lately experienced; this cloak will also be found
extremely serviceable on coming from an evening.,
or late dinner party. The colour is a fine shade cf
slate, and it is beautifully relieved by being trimmed
all round with broad black velvet. Over the
shoulders, forming a large kind of cape, is a pile ed
wantelet-pelerine, which graceful appendage adds
to the warmth of this covering, while it presents a
real ornament ; this is also trimmed round by black
velvet, and its long points fall partly in front, and
partly over the shoulders, like the Persian drapery
sleeve. The cloak is lined throughout with white
Levantine, and a rich silk cordon of black, with
tassels, fastens it round the waist. The pelisse::
this summer were much worn unclosed down the
front of the skirt, discovering u petticoat of iiehle
embroidered muslin or cambric underneath.
There is nothing yet novel in the style of those
pelisses which fasten down; metal, s, it is ex-
pected, will be very general, during the latter end of
October; some have already been adopted; they
are all made with capes, though there is great utility
in the hood, especially for young ladies who wear
no head-dress but their own hair ; they can then,
when seated in their carriage, at returning from a
late party on a cold night, shield their heads from
the generally pernicious effects of nocturnal air, by
drawing the silken or satin hood over their tresses.
Caehernere shawls are, at present, in universal re-
quest. On mild days, a canezcn spencer of em-
broidered muslin, or a pelerine trimmed with broad
lace, and splendidly embroidered, with only a fiancee
tippet of coloured silk, is thought a sufficient addi-
tional covering. We have seen on a lady of dis-
tion a pelisse of gros des Jades, which appeared
entirely new; it fastened down one side with a full
ruche of the same colour and material ; she was ac-
companied by a lady in a pelisse of dove-coloured
satin, made with broad bias folds, en tunique.
The colours most admired are slate, etherial•blue,
Pomona-green, cherry, amber, pink, and the yellow
of the young Canary-bird.

GENTLEMEN'S FASHIONS for OCTOBER.

(Flom the Gentleman's Magazine of Fashions, •e.)
A HUNTING COAT.—The cut of this coat is quite
new : the colour, of course, depends upon the hunt.
It is made double-breasted, with small lappels. The
pockets at the hips are across, with flops rather
wide; there are also two flips :cross each breast ;
die tops ones are not required to be with pockets.
A plain buff or white Cachemere waistcoat, made
double-breasted, the buttons wide apart, four cm
each side is quite sufficient, and I ouai with black
galoon.—White cotton cord breeches, the cord or
rib is very broad, not more than three to an ineh,
made to tit tight from the crutch downwards; they
are worn short at the knee, and the boots come well
up to meet them. This, with a green or crimg:-..a
silk cravat, completes this very fashionable and de-
cidedly new hunting dress.

A SHOOTING DRESS.—The ccat is made of green
milled cloth, with plain or fancy plated buttons, and
without extra pockets. A buff cross-barred toilinet
waistcoat to correspond with the coat.

A NOT UER SHOOTING DRESS.—This is a very
novel dress for shooting: it is made of a bronze,
green Saxon cloth, lined with buff serge, with a
stripe of the same in front of each fore-part : this
coat has no buttons, but is fastened before with
hooks and eyes. The body fits tight, and the skirts
are handsomely full and folds quite round the waist.
The sleeves are short, and button tight round the
wrist, with two buttons on the top. The trowsets
should be of buff velveteen, and strapped down tit
bottom.

1 A PROMENADE DRESS.—A rich claret brow
lappelled coat, rather short-waisted behind, but long,
in front ; the collar is made without stiffening, and
to fall gracefully back, and without flaps at the
waist : the sleeves are worn small at the wrist. A
horizontal pocket across the breast, on the left side,
may be introduced with considerable effect. Silk
waistcoat of a fancy pattern made with a rolling.
collar, and the collar faced with velvet for evening,
with dead gold buttons: a small flap over the
pockets. Mo!eskin trowsers, or fur, still continue
to be worn, and to fit extremely tight at the hips;
indeed the present style of trowsers are the most
elegant that has ever been worn : they continue still,
to be buttoned up in the front, and to have two
raised seams at the sides.

ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESSES.
For evening dress, a chesnut brown coat, one of
bronze-colour, or of oak-apple, are the co!ours most
in favour; but what is reckoned the height of good
taste, is a coat of Naval-blue, or of Forresters%
green. Thee coats have black velvet collars, and
gilt metal buttons. They have no false pockets;
they sit very easy on the breast, and at the hips;
the flaps are longer and narrower thtus heretofore.
In deshabille costume, the collars of surtouts are
still cut square; they have one row of buttons, are
made very short, and strongly marking out the
shape. Chesnut-bro‘in, and the colour of the oak.
apple, are most predominant in these coats ; but, us
in dre,s coats, Naval-blue is reckoned most elegant.
Notwithstanding the coldness of the mornings,
srvc-
ral surtouts are seen of ladies' cloth, or of ethers
equally light in texture.
We have seen several gentlemen in brown sur-
touts, with velvet collars, others in blue, or in bottle-
green coats ; cloth pantaloons, either green, blue, or
antelope-brown ; a white or light-coloured waistcoat
of gros de Naples, stitched and quilted, and a black
cravat.

It is long since we have seen the collars of the
sportio4 coats so high behind, nor so low and flat
before, as now. The flaps of the coats are very
largi!, arid cover the half of the thighs.
Several ITICII 1:1 fashion have already appeared in
the morning walk, in a ‘1 ide, long great coat, crossed
over the brew; with a detible row ofbuttons. These
