FASHIONS. FOR JANUARY

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)
Materials shaded in rose deline and procelaine, blue with
orange, on white, are the most fashionable colours ; very
elegant dresses are made in the latter style, the pattern in
orange on white satin or reps, having the effect of gold :
they are trimmed with blond, and scarfs to match. Many
dresses are made of the tunic form, which is sometimes of
velvet on dress of satin. Crape raye gauffre called jarditarp,
is among the novelties of the moment, and derives its name
from the multitude of small flowers of every colour, which
form quite a parterre, shaded with a thousand tints. Black
lace dresses are fashionable, lined with pink, yellow, or lilac,
with velvet flowers to ornament them. Pretty n6glige dresses
are made en peignoir, of sarcenet, quilted all round about
five or six inches deep ; they are of dark colours, lined with
pink, blue, or the same as the outside, and are worn with
under skirts of levantine or taffetas of red, blue, or green,
with a deep flounce, or quilted to match the peignoir. Robes
de chambre and travelling cloaks are made of worsted mate-
rials, with a band of silk to line the edge. Manteaux for the
evening are with hoods, imitating the shawl collar ; many
cloaks have the hood resembling the domino hpod, trimmed
with lace or fur ; short cloaks have_round full hoods ; a Polo-
naises have the pointed hood with gimp trimmings. Many
of the short cloaks of velvet are just now trimmed with fur,
with muffs to match, orielle d'ours, ramoneur, grenat are the
favourite colours, lined with satin of the same shade, and
quilted all over in patterns.
Bonnets are a degree larger, but they continue of the close
capote form with low crown, marabouts matching in colour
with the material are fashionable ; velvet bonnets have also
been made full.

Many pretty coiffures are formed of gold and velvet ribbon,
with resilles of gold ; the newest coiffure is composed of a
fichu of point lace, bouillonne at the back of the head, each
bouillon is confined by a leaf of green velvet. Fauchonnettes
of black- or white lace are worn, placed over the Chou of hair,
the points falling near the cheek, mix with the curls and

flowers.
Cannezous for dress are made of tulle, with application of
Brussels trimmings. The newest sleeve is that termed may-
enne, very tight on the lower part of the arm, and widening
moderately to the shoulders. Scarfs of pink or bjue satin
are trimmed with pluche, imitating chinchilla, and are very
pretty for evening wear.

BEA UMAKIS.—We learn that it is in contemplation in this
port to erect a new pier for the landing of passengers from
the steam-packets, that plans and estimates for the structure
have been laid before the town-council.—North Wales

A CURIOUS EXCHANGE.--At Holyhead, last week, an
exchange was made between a native of the same place and a
butcher from Bodedern. The former having a pony which
was about 22 years of age, and the latter having killed a
11 not far short of 20, the butcher proposed to exchange a
part of the said bull for horse beef, on the condition that he
was to have 3/d. per lb. for his, and that he should have the
horse beef at 2d. per lb. The bargain was struck, and both
accordingly weighed, to the great
.a4vantageon the side of the
',O.—North Wales Chronicler
