FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(FROM LE FOLLET.)
Rumours of a great revolution in the make of bodies
have been heard among the introducers of novelties. It
is confidently asserted that the waists will be worn shorter,
and round, which appears more to nature, therefore, more
graceful. Some exaggerate, and talk of having the sleeves
bouffantes, with the skirt quite plain in front, and large
flat plaits on the hips ; but, if this style be becoming to
some beautiful figures, a less regular and perfect form
would be inexcusable to adopt so extreme a fashion. The
gilets will continue to be worn this season. White robes
seem almost universal for evening dress, either of moire
antique, taffetas, or grenadine, with flounces, over white
silk, which, en passant, is the most distingue and newest
style. Then, many robes are of muslin or organdi, with
flounces, double skirts, or tuniques, more or less richly
ornamented with embroidery and lace; the berthes of lace,
or revers of rich embroidery descending en ccrur to the
waist, and forming basques round the waist. There are
some beautiful albanaises robes of mousseline de sow.

Young ladies' dresses of organdi have five flounces,
each edged with twelve or fifteen narrow braids of pink
satin and silver. The bodies are cut square, the front
piece as well as the short sleeves being covered with
narrow frills, trimmed to match the flounces on the skirt..
The coiffure is composed of a coronet of roses with ivy
leaves and silver grass. A still younger and more' simple
style is an embroidered muslin dress over pink silk, with
an efchelle on either side of the skirt, of bows of pink
taffetas ribbon with narrow threads of black and gold. The

We must not omit to mention the poplins, the use of
which is so general in our toilettes, sometimes plain, at
others plaid or striped. A dress of this material seems
almost indispensable.
The icharpe Mathilde is much in vogue ; those in violet
and black taffetas the most so. It is made with insertions
of black Chantilly lace, edged with a narrow boder on
each side of jet beads ; between the laces the taffetas is
covered with rows of narrow black velvet ; and the scarf
is finished with a fall of fine Chantilly lace.
The galath‘e of white taffetas, embroidered with bou-
quets of flowers in sewing silk ; it is round behind, and
the ends in front square. A splendid fringe, surmounted
with a thick fancy passementerie, gives this mantelet great

The manteau Henri 111. is very simple and pretty, when
made of Napoleon-blue taffetas, trimmed with two rows
of broad black velvet ribbons and a deep blue fringe.

bands of black mohair braid, separated by six rows of
narrow velvet ; from the second band of braid, which is

All the laces to trim these en antalets have scalloped edges.

settled and warm.

Leghorn and fancy straw bonnets are worn for morning
bonnets; the capotes are, however, much more universally
adopted. Some are composed of bouillonne's of green
taffetas, with ornaments of fancy Tuscan ; the front is of
Tuscan, the crown is of two bouillonneB of taffetas, sepa•
rated by rows of fancy Tuscan. The same. is slightly
gathered round the crown, terminated on each side by
tufts of ribbon mixed with straw ornaments. The curtain
is half straw, half taffetas. Small rosebuds, mixed with
tulle, form the cap, placed quite low on the cheeks.
The Louis XV. bonnet meets with great success ; it is
of pink tulle, with frills of blonde. The crown is enveloped
in a broad pink ribbon, forming the long strings, a blonde
is fastened at the edge of the ribbon, and falls over the
crown ; the curtain is of tulle, covered with blonde. A.
bouquet of three curled pink feathers is placed on one
side; branches of snowdrops, with bouillonn6B of pink
tulle, inside.
