FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(FROM LE FOLLET.)

SumxtEr. fashions have assumed a definite form ; but,
,41hough general rules exist, much is left to fancy and
'rite, in order to vary the monotony of style and acces-
sories. Bonnets are still very small, and the crowns are
compressed and thrown back on the neck, that they are
most hidden by the enormous bows with long floating
e4CIS which ornament them ; the bonnets are allowed
kerely to rest on the back of the head, and are ornamented
of ribbon.
with flowers or feathers mixed with lace and bows
;11' ribbon. The insides are trimmed with a profusion of
• owers and blonde. Sonic ladies may be seen with
Illraense moss roses with their leaves, and even peonies in
'll bloom, surrounding their faces. Straws—especially a
11tissue of straw worked by a new process, which is sold by
i" yard—are much in vogue.
The greatest variety in the shape of mantelets is now
i!,:splayed. Some are completely covered with narrow
;deft, placed in cross lines, and a new kind of passernen-
elie, of stamped plain velvet upon a taffetas ground ;
'4hers of black moire antique, bordered with a passemen-.
lie of blue feathers between rows of black velvet, and
terminated by a deep lace. Another novel trimming is
composed of a new style of hinge or passementerie, being
,
succession of handsome tassels. The usual number of
'Ors on a mantelet is three. Some ladies adopt the ruche
vieille, placed in bias lines half way up the mantelet
"In the outer edge.
Dresses are worn with flounces of all descriptions ; as
manya be as thirty-two narrow frills or flounces may seen
spoit some skirts, but by far the greater number have
nee or five flounces. Poplins and taffetalines are made
nth plain skirts. The flounces are frequently of a diffe-
nature or texture to the robe ; and we often see
,(2.llaces with thick satin stripes© edged with a narrow
huge upon barege skirts.
„The scarf mantelet is fashionable this season ; but, in
Zder that it may be graceful, it must reach no lower than
he waist, and be quite degage on the shoulders. It is
,kmed with one or several frills of lace in flutes, edged
nth fringe or plaited ribbon.
The bonnets of the present season are very elegant,
,hick
though still very small; they are worn rather closer,
is more becoming to the face. Very full ruches,
,
of the same materials as the bonnet or of tulle,
Zixed with ribbons or flowers, are quite the rage. The
YWIIS are worn very fiat and small, and the front rounded
very fully trimmed inside.
, White canezous are much in favour ; the most elegant
! composed of insertions of lace separated by ribbons.
The fichu Marie Antoinette is also very becoming, and
much worn with the beautiful Indian muslin dresses and
„
`,lbroidered muslin mantelets echarpes.
Small capes, as well as the palatins collars, are 'very
shionable.
L'the size of collars varies : some are smaller than the
'ouis XIII. : others,. on the contrary, are very large and
;T
hare. he cavaliers collars embroidered in spots or
wens, with cuffs to match, are much worn with the
'°rning toilette.
The elegant Chantilly shawls and mantelets willbe much
demand this season, and are exceedingly beautiful, worn
tver the magnificent dresses now in fashion.
