GENERAL REMARKS ON FASHION AND DaEss.-
Some of the newest ball and evening drcsses re-
Gently completed, consist of satin slips covered
with white coored Grape or organdy mus
lin. These dresses may be trimmed either with
tounces of the material of which they are made,
or with flowers and lace intermingled. ball
dress OF white organdy has been trimmed with
hounces OF Brussels lace, the corsage and sleeves
being ornamented with the same. With this dress
is to be worn lace canezou, the front open and
the sleeves hanging loose. The canezou is finished
at the waist by ribbon waistband, fastened in
front in a bow and long ends. We may mention
a dress OF white muslin, trimmed with hounces of
rich needework. This dress has been made with
two corsages, the one high and the other low. The
low corsage has lace berthe, and the sleeves are
trimmed with hanging rufiles of lace. The high
corsage is in the canezou form, with long sleeves.
Another dress OF worked muslin has two corsagcs
made in the above style, but the skirt is composed
OF two Jupes, profuscly ornamented with needle
work.
Some of the new flowers intended to ornament
the ball dresses for the suing season have already
made their appearance. Wreaths for skirts con-
sist of roses of various hues For this style oftrm
ming oonvolvulus, or any other creeping plant, is
well adapted, and five cordons of these
howers are usually employed for the front of the
skirt They meet In point in front Of the waist,
and diverge In IAN form towards the edge of the
skirt. The same flowers ornament the front of the
corsage, the stems diverging from the point at the
waist upwards, and spreading in a direction con-
trary TO those the skirt At the point in front of
the waist they form bouquet. Pink eonvolvuus
on dress of white tule, white convolvulus in a
dress OF pink tulle, disposed in wrcaths, in the
manner above described, have a very pretty effect.
Among the newest fancy wreaths for the hair, we
have observed some composed Of foliage of light
blue satin, ming led with silver bcrres others con-
sis OF foliage OF white satin, with gold berries In
the class OF fancy wreaths may be included several
with flowers of velvet, of dark tints intermng!cd
with foliage and gold.
Caps are trimmed with flowers ribbon. Among
tt.{ .,fl i .go

flowers. Some of the new ribbon headdressss are
composed of scarlet and green ribbon, embroidered
with gold and silver. A double torsade formed of
the same ribbon IL turned round the hair ai the
back OF the head, the ends edged with silk twist,
the color of the ribbon interming gled with gold and
silver This fringe droops each side Of the head.
Another of these headdrcsses, which Is finished
on one side by large round bow, and on the other
by loops and two long ends, is composed Of varie-
gated ribbon, the colors being red, green, and a
rich, bright gold tint. This is a new style of rib
bon, which has just appeared in Paris, and, the
gold color being predominant, IL has obtained the
name OF ruban Californian. A number Of very
splendid lame ribbons have been introduced fCr
headdresses, and when employed in conjunction
with gold and silk asSementsrie spotted with gold
and silver stars the headdress has quite Oriental
effect.
