FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.")
Foulards de chine with barege are the most fashiona-
ble materials ; the prettiest are checked in shades of the
same colour, violet and lilac, dark green on light, cerise
and dahlia ; they are trimmed with two wide biais put on
a little full, or two deep flounces ; but a more novel style
is one very deep flounce put on at the edge of the skirt,
which is necessarily very short and the transparency
thereby preserved ; the flounce is en biais ; the newest
trimmings are ruches chicorees, flounces frontages, and
antique biais. Redingotes of glace or cameleon silk are
sometimes ornamented with a trimming of the silk form-
ing gueules de loup ; it is very usual to head the trimming
on the skirts with gimp of the byrinthe style matching
the colours; the corsages are high or half high, of the
Amazon style, and for every description of toilette they
are made open and more or less ornamented—some lac-
ing half way up, others with revers showing the habit
shirt ; the sleeves are generally wile, with the under one
of white ornamented with inlets of cretea of lace. The
lighter materials of summer wear, tolatanes, muslins, &c.,
are with corsages drapes or demi-vierge, and three deep
tucks often replace the flounces, and these are in rounded
scollops festonnes a dents. Fancy straw bonnets are very
much worn; when of open straw they are lined through-
out with poult de soie matching the ribbon; Leghorns are
trimmed with very wide ribbons, generally checked, and
often platted. Some white crape bonnets are lined with
pink ; they are evase at the ears, and the form a little
raised and ornamented with a bird of Paradise, nceuds of
white and pink sarcenet ribbon inside. On fancy straws,
capotes with silk crowns and straw fronts, and also Leg-
horns, wreaths of fruit and mixed flowers are much worn.
Caps now form an important article of dress ; very pretty
ones are made of inlets lined with pink or blue gauze
trimmed with lace without any ribbon. Simple caps a
la paysanne are made with crowns of tulle or blond ; they
are quite round, and trimmed with long lappets of lace
and wreaths of ribbon. Pretty coiffures are composed
of ribbon and flowers, the lappets replaced by wide
fringed ribbon, and the noeuds so as to intermix with the
hair when in ringlets, or accompany the bandeax. Scarfs
are worn in every variety of colour and material ; the
pa'dessus d'ete are also fashionable, and also the chales
mantelet of glacee silk edged with Alderienne fringe form-
ing a point behind and square ends in front, with revers at
the throat reaching to the bottom ; this shawl has a join
down the middle of the back.
