london Liierary S0aUeair.-We have been
favored with a yolumn of this annual for 1881,
and take pleasure in commencing 1t as one OF the
most beautiful that has yet fallen under our no.
,ice. The engravings, twelve IN number, when
it contaias, are unsurpassed by any thing IN the
art: several of them are admirable. The iitera-
ry norton of the Souvenir SO far as we are capa-
bic of Judging from the hasty perusal we found lei
sure to devote to it, is not 50 remarkable LOT me-
r;t as the contributions of the previous volumes;
vet II embraces many excellent productions
Amonp the names of the writers we perceive
those Of Alaric A. Watts, Mary Hewitt, Miss
I.ndon. the author of Richelieu, Miss Jewsbury,
/ G.. Whittier, w. G. Bryant, and Richard
Penn Smith-the three last, American writer's
The prose story of the latter gentleman is high
" creditable production, and the poem OF Mr..
Whittier is the most beautiful piece in the vo-
lume. Ii is entitled the Indian Girls Lament.
The following are its concluding lines:
Where are they now Around the changed and s'rsns
er peopled isle, :,
thousand graves are strewh oehea'n 'hs "ou'"
Autumn's smile;
The bow of strength is buried, with the came' ana

The ancient woods are vanshing--the Pale ones ga
And who is left to mourn for thsl-A solitary one.
whose life is waning unto death, like yonder SINKING

Bryant's production is not equal to this; but IL
our recollection serves, we have seen the stanZas
IN which his name is attached somewhere else,

with large leaves disposedsin palms, with spaces
between on each side. A three quarter heisht
corsage, half open, is fastened at the bottom by
four diamond buttons. Short sleeves continue
of the beref form. .,
MISUNDERSTANDING are coming much
into favor. satin velvet cut in points, dehts or
folages, and placed above the hem, are much
used in evening dress Nothing is more elegant
for grand costume, than blond lace, arranged
either in plain or draperv aounces. Embroidery
in cOlored silks, mingled sometimes WIN goiu'
is also worn in full dress. Some oil these TRIM
minss arc in small flowers of different, but very
vivid colors; very small roleau forms the stalk
of the wreath, and serpentines round the border.
We see also some dresses embroidered round the
border in large fancy flowers, placed at some dis
lance from each other. An elegant trimming Is
composed of palms. formed OF large leaves, dis
posed obiquely from the bottom OF the robe as
high as the knee; with small flowers placed In the
intervals, and a still more original one is formed
BY Gothic patterns interminged with flowers.
Lingerie chemisetteis to the dress OF
an English belle what the n,ouchoir de poche is to
that Of French elcgante, sort OF criterion OF
the wearers taste. Mrs. Bell has been particu-
larry happy in the selection which she has made

beautifully embroidered, and trimmed in some
instances with narrow lace. The others OF blond
lace, or of embroidered tulle of the most elegant
FORMS The chemisetes a reuere, and the conesouS
trois coHerettes, are particularly novel. The
first add an elegant finish to those low dresses
that have corsages crossed; and the other which
turn back before in redingoie style, give to
plain silk or merino deshabiNe, the air of an ele-
CANT morning dress.
Fashionable Head Dresses.--Velvet is this
month still more in favor than last for dress hats;
they have not altered IN size, but the most novel
are turned up on one side, and decorated with
two long ostrich feathers.
Crowns of Grape hats are round, and the brim
cut out in such manner that one part IS turned
up over the other. Some Grape hats are adorned
with feathers. others with flowers. particularly
with beautiful fancy flower, called the calico
ma; it has a foliage OF bright green, with oblons
leaves of amaranth color, which surround small
white flowers, disposed in Epi.
Bereis and turbans seem IN equal estimation
Some of tie most novel of the former are compos-
ed of sauze, and ornamented with six marabouts,
disposed en- rayons, on the inside OF the brlm,an
bouquet of marabouts on the front OF the crown
Blond lace caps are not so much worn since
berets have come more into favor, but they are
still adopted by many elegantes. The trimmings
of the most novel are narrower, and have very
little funess; they arc adorned with small How
ers. arranged either in wreaths or bouquets, and
placed on one side only.
Fashionable colors are, besides those that we
have already mentioned, azure-blue, lavender,
vapeur and dove color.
