will be general at the end of October, if we have not the postponed
summer in that and the succeeding month. _ _ _

The only summer bonnets that yet remain are those of Italian straw.
They are made short at the ears sad behind, and yet show the hair a
good deal in front. The strings fly loose, and another pair trimmed
with two rows of blonde, tie under the chin; this fashion is general,
with all walkiNg-hate and bonnets which are chiefly made of pro. de
Naples and eadm, but some of white and Light-coloured velvet have been
seen. Ladies of the most delicate tastes wear the flowers of the season

lace or blonde pule are universal. Coloured mososilk, particularly
pale pink for linings, are considered to throw a delicate glow on the
complexion. A white satin hat an the right side was trimmed with

scabluocoloured velvet; to the left in the inside were two large folds,
and on the right, which was a good deal mind, was seen a white plume.
Four white plumes are put round the crown, following each other : this
is a beautiful winter hat. Crape hats are worn at dinner, and soiree

stalk are put into graceful motion at every movement of the person.
White and coloured muslin for home and evening costume are uni-
versally worn. Gros de Naples and even rep; and satin, are as general
for promenade : with these, the elegant cession is worn in a variety of
new and elegant forms; the newest is of a diamond shape with two dis-
tinct trimmings of lace, two corners full deep on the shottidere, the other

Small lace, or worked flounces at the knees arc genie' in favour, and
deep-coloured silk dresses have often small pipes of white or tinted pros

races at Paris, on Sunday, 18th, a lady was draped in a gown striped
with green and violet, trimmed with a small flounce at the head of the

pieces, each wrought with a different device, are most elegant t some-
times a precious stone, surrounded by enamelled foliage, is introduced.
This species of bracelets we charming. The earrings of this kind are
very large. Little urns or caskets for perfume are worn, attached by a
little gold chain to the belt.

revolution as covers for foot-stools and ottomans. A species of em.
broidery that is easy, and has a pretty effect, is made of pieces of co-
loured ribbon joined together in a variety of patterns—for trimming
the bottoms of dresses. Painting an box-wood, for week of card-boxes,
Is fashionable : these are generally in coloured flowers or shells, and,
when polished and varnished, they are beautiful: they likewise paint
glass for the tops of little tables. Some of the most exquisite dour
belles have contrived to give the constant effect of sunset to their boudoirs
and bed-chambers, by having a blind of deep orange taffeta extended
1 before the windows. This is so contrived, that the sash may be raised
at pleasure, and the air Botta:ad, not excluded. This fashion is im-
ported from Italy. At Bologna nearly all.the windows are thus fitted
up. The boudoir and chamber is nowise often illuminated with a
lamp,ligh placed in a goblet of blue glass, which gives the effect of clear
moont.
