DINNER DRESS.

A short round dress of bright t üby velvet, or twilled sarcnet ;
if the latter, it should be shut with white. The turm ot this
dress is extremely novel and elegant; the body, which it Omni d
in the frock styleris calculated to display the beauty of the chest
to the utmost advantage ; and to such ladies as ate not peculiarly
well formed about the bosom, it gives an appearance of width to
the chest, u well as an easy elegance to the shape, which MUSS
be seen to be credited. i.ong sleeve, composed of white lace,
made, as all the sleeves of the preleuf mouth are, very full, the
fullness is drawn in at the top in frot:t of the arm, end it is eau.

French tucker, Which we have ru Itebitatien lu saying is by much
the.most elegant thing that has been introduced for a length ot
time, and does the bighorn credit to the taste of the inventress,
Mrs. Bell ;It is so contrived as to shade the boa an while it
leaves that part of the neck bare which may be expo witione
Indtacacy ; it finishes the dress in a style the most chaste, nova,
and tasteta that we have ever seen. The bottom of the dress is
simply ornamented with two rows of bias lace or crape.put on the
reverse way, and lightly Befitted round the edge with a French
beading. Ilead.dress the Britannia toque, composed of ruby eel-
vet, and finished with a gold or silver band a white intrizU fea-

peopsiate to dinner-dress. White kid Anus and gloves, su4ll

In fell dress we have no novelty to announce. French flowers
and purls continue in high estimation with our fair fashionghles,
but we think the latter predossiinates. The manner of dressing the
hair continues exactly the mate as last mouth. Fashionable co-
lours for the month continue the same as last except scarlet,
which, though rather Wain the semen, seems to be rising in es-
drdatioa.

No altqatlon lu boats or slaps&
C.attrsti ivory fans are coming into high estimation; the size
cautious& the same as hut iseuth.--P,.. La Beth Jasiod4s.
