At length the coldness of the weather permits fur to be worn,l
and our fashionable, hasten to profit by it. Sable, chinchilli, and
Ted fox are the furs most tern. Dress gowns of China crape are
trimmed with sable, chinchilli is used for velvet, and the red fox
fir eaclemere. Sable being very expensive, only poe row is placed
mud the bottom of the dress, with cuffs in the form of a crescent.
rue chinchilli is not only used for the bottom and the cuffs, but
aba trims the bosom of the Jars, and is worn as a band for the
mist. The gowns, trimmed with fox, have a wide falling collar,
and two bands in the front, which descend and join a very broad
trimming of the same material which goLO9 round the bottom of

the dress.
Bonnets of the finest plain velvet have crowns of a square form
and ate ornamented with marabout feathers, disposed in such a
manner that each angle lA seen between two feathers. Besides these
a bunch of marabouts is Aced in the front. Other bonnets, whe-
ther of satin, or of spotted velvet, have a fullness of an inch in
depth at the top and bottom of the crown, and this is sometimes of
a different shade from the rest of the bonnet; between this fullness
is placed a wreath of flowers,or a rouleau of curled feathers.
Our men of fashion are seen in their tilburies witk great coats of
alpaga. In full dress, a cloak is indispensable. Some are Hued with
white plush, and others with sky-blue velvet.
