FASHIONS FOR APRIL

(From the " London and l'!ari.nLadies' Magazine of

Fashion."

The new raffetas and silks intended for redingotes are
very elegant, foulards; rekins, and silks of every variety,
striped, checked, jaspees moires, or in Arabic designs,
with bareges toiles de Chide tarlatanes, nankins de soie,
and organdy, with coloured patterns on a black ground,

as ever, but at this season the material is of course of
slighter texture. In the make of dresses there will be
but little change ; many redingotes will be worn, and
many dresses with tight bodies and sleeves; also peig-
noirs. with demi-wide sleeve, showing the under one of

white muslin, richly embroidered. Black lace still forms
the richest trimming, either for redingotes or pelerines,
also for flounces for three or four rows, or narrow lace put
on spirally, or en echellle gimps, fringes, and soutache
will be used on the spring dresses, particularly a
new kind, with pearl edge. Some dresses of poult de
soie are made with revers, embroidered in shaded colours.
Fancy straw bonnets, intermixed with lace, are very
fashionable ; and crape, mixed with straw, form pretty
capotes ; some crape bonnets are covered with lace, which
sometimes form a demi-voilette ; on the edge roses or
jardenieres wreaths are placed under these laces, and
give much elegence to the bonnet. Bonnets made: of
baptiste de Chine of its natural colour, lined with pink,.
blue, or lilac crape, or gauze, form a pretty novelty ; the
material is very fine and light. Flo were will be very
Much worn to ornament the interior as well as well as the
exterior of bonnets this spring. Foliage of light colour,
as the acacia, or dark, as the chesnut, will be used on
straw bonnets ; exotics, with large petals, will ornament
crape bonnets ; whilst the more simple flowers of our gar-
dens will be required for pailles de riz. The Noemie
bonnets are of crape, covered with tulle d la niege and
Rio/ . smil the flowers that ornament them are of the

licate descri

ption, or marabouts

aour is of pan, .. •
bon. For the public dejeuners a new style will be intro-
duced, the petit bord bornais, made of white straw, or-
namented with field flowers, or a wreath of roses or single
feather. Very small manteaux have been worn of green
or violet velvet, trimmed with two rows of broad black
lace, one at the edge, and the other above it, and
rnw at the throat ; this style will be adopted in taff

every colour.
