NEWEST LONDON AND PARIS Fashions
FOR AUGUsT-Capucho Scarfs are much
in vogue for the present month, as being
both warm and light for travelling, paying
visits to the baths, SC. They are simply
made of plain cashmere, blue or red, and
encircled with a border of velvet OF the
same color, put on plain, and attached at
the throat with cord or tasseI.
Caps are still formed very petit, and are
worn very backward on the head, of "a round
shape, and made of plain light tulies, the
front very small, descending moderately
low at the ears, and lined with tafetas rib
bon; the contrast formed by this light
style of front (although Iined,( with the
diophame crown, having very pretty effect.
DreSses.-White, blue and pink, are the
most predominating colors for carriage
dresses. These dresses are made half high;
and yelled by splendid canezom of Eng
lish appzioye lace.
Capotes are still made in very light ma
terials, such as tulle, crepe, Sc; the pretti-
est are decidedly those which are fulleG,
and each circle of which is decorated and
divided with small wreath of flowers
For the sea side, those made in organdie
are mostly preferred, lined with pink or
blue gauze, and trimmed with handsome
ribbon simply crossed, and vio7eHe of tulle

with beautiful bunch of green grapes Il
cling tons.
.MantezetS.-Those which are at present
worn with large patterned barcge dresses,
are composed of embroidered muslin, trim

plain tarlGtane muslin, lined with a pretty
light color, and encircled with three ruches
of tulle, which, although very simple, has a
most charming effect.
ShaplS, composed of China crepe, and
entirely covered with an embroidery, are
much in fashion; some are made in white,
whilst several very magnificent ones are of
splendid ponceau, dark-blue or green.

the waist with broad silk ribbon, plain or
frnged, and of some light color-the ends
of the sash just reaching as low as the knee
The backs Of the corsages are slightly full
ed, and the fronts fastened with pearl or
marcassites buttons; sometimes we see these
buttons descending as low as the edge of
the skirt

ry according to the style of dress for which
it is intended; for instance we have the.
tafetas glace foulads, unbleached cam
brics, muslins Of every description, those
elegant organdjes and gauzes, and others
too numerous to enumerate.
