line down each side of the front where it closes, as
far as to a very broad border of black velvet, which
surrounds the skirt next the feet, neatly as high as
to the knee; at the head of which is a trimming of
light sable, or some other valuable light-coloured
fur. The slaves are dla Donna Maria, and they

this appropriate winter pelisse. The half-boots are
of fawn-coloured kid, tipped at the toe with black.

ment. A dress hat of pink satin forms the coiffure:

folds at the back of the head. The ear-pendants

lace in beautiful festooned rows of the same mate-
rial, of exquisite delicacy. Between each festoon is

EVENING DRESS.--A light superfine blue coat to
fit the waist, and not cut longer or shorter than the
natural waist; five gilt buttons up the breast; the
skirts narrow and long, terminating at the bottom to
about three inches; pocket-flaps about two and a
half inches deep. If the person be small about the
hips the skirts should be wadded. The collar is
narrower than last month, and shows riot only the
seam behind, but about three rows of the stitching.
Waistcoat of velvet or silk, high in the neck, with
small and short collar, cut so as to show an under-
waistcoat, which is cut with a rolling collar. Black
kerseymere trowsers to fit the waist tight, rather
easy at the knee, and of moderate width at the
bottom; the length is to the ancle bone, which will
admit of the stocking being shewn ; the trowser is
left loose and not fastened with a strap. The dress
cloak is made of olive-brown superfine cloth, with
a large cape ; both cloak and cape are lined through
with crimson silk, serge, or velvet. The collar is
made nine inches deep, and turns over, fastening in
the neck with a clasp; the collar should be of sable
or Chinchilla fur. The grey lamb skin is not now
worn by gentlemen of fashion.
A MORNING-DRESS.—A blue morning lappelled
coat, to button close across the breast to the neck;
the collar, which is of velvet, is very short and
about a inch in height, stands up in front N% hen the
coat is buttoned. The collar ends do net meet by
three inches, which is the breadth of the lappel.
The sleeves are wide at the top, and full, but tight
at the wrist and rounded off.
ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESSES.
Some dandies have introduced the wearing great
coats of celestial blue with a black velvet collar;
these "great coats are made double-breasted, are but-
toned up to the throat, and ate a kind of frock-coat,
coming very little lower than the knee.
Plaid cloaks have sleeves and a cape descending
as low as the elbows. They have generally collars
lined with blue plush, and are trimmed with some
material of the same colour. Some fashionables
wear, when in a carriage, and keep them on when
they get out to walk, cloaks made entirely of plush,
of some very dark colour, resembling fur in its
shaggy appearance; thus metamorphosing an ele-
gant man of fashion into a Russian boyard.
The umbrella of a man of fashion is of myrtle-
green gros-de-Naples, without uny kind of border at
the edge ; the handle is of a Chinese laurel, with-
out any head; a simple plate of gold only finishing
the superior part.
Some fashionable gentlemen wear the crowns of
their hats higher on one side than the other.
The boots are pointed at the toes.
The shoes for the ball-room are highly varnished;
they have neither strap nor rosette on the instep.
The colour of glazed leather gloves are canary-
'ellow.
