Though Paris is almost deserted the td,senseS |
dc modes are very busy in modelling new fashions
for tie summer season. The strangers who visit
Paris, as well as the people who arrive here IRON
the provnces 10 buy their articles of toilette, are
sufficient in number TO excite the energy and EMU
lat,on Of our merchants.
The large houses of Paris are also busy at i'm
portation Ifyou admire in the stores an elegant
giiglae, a splendid dress, garland and garature
of flowers in which the grace of our best n,odistes
is 10 be remarked, be assured that you will be told
this goes to London, that to Russia, the other to
he United States.
Among the prettiest novelties | have remarked
whilst visiting the stores 10 collect my fashionable
intelligence, ] will describe the following articles
A dress made of ta6stas gtnet of pink and sky
blue color. Long waist, tight to the body, without
any pitt low necked and ted upon fcher of Grape
while, and covered with small embrolde ries. Ga
the stomach OF the dress, there is beau OF gauze,
in the centre of which is placed very small bod
quet ofroses and forgetme-ncts.
Another Dress composed of two skirts OF white
Grape, trimmed with garland OF cleDlattteS. AT
the end of the small leaves there is also another
garland Of the flower in front of the bodice,
the d6mafttcS placed in small punches, and the
head dress is composed of wreath OF the same.
Bracelets of gold coin united together with cham
The robes Of neglige or rather walking dress
are made as follows:--
LIST. A Rsdfag0tte-peign0ir in printed nankln,
made with pcldats bordered with embrolderes
called udicncieHnts. The bodice is open, adofn-
ed with four small ruches made with the goods OF
the dress and also trimmed with embroideries and
paiencicnnes. The sleeves are made large. with
TWO rHthes equally trimmed with brolderes, and
having under a pair OF s0us-mdnches OF muslin
%. A silk dress of blue color, spotted with
white punches of roses. 1t is made In Ponpd-
dOir the waist being only marked on the form of
the body, but not cut in the other dresses. In
front Of it, running from the stomach down TO the
feet, four cOitHonaes OF white silk twisted with
a small blue ribbon assorted TO the dress. The
sleeves large and composed of six ranks OF that
coltlonaG The bodice is opened in the form of
V, and high necked. Under 1t there is chem.-
seite of pted canibress, with coll petit POINT.
Ii is necessary with such dress TO have the hair
fixed a. la Ponpadoiu," which is relieve aroand
the head in the form of big rope
Although the mantilla or caracO OF the same
goods as that of the dress are much en- vogue, the
! pd-dCssns Of black silk trimmed with k4iies are
mpch in favor, as they are considered the more
! fashionable.
White mantllas of embroideries are less fash
ionablc then they were last year. Those of the
season are pointed behind and in front as a shawl
They are trimmed with veants, festooned and bor-
dered with lace.
The last attempt made by the fashion, for the
mantillas, is called nlanteiet echarye (scarf
tlls) IL is light and elegant thing, which covers
with much grace the shoulders OF Its bearer and
/ allows the waist 10 be seen with much ease. They
are made ofs band Of taiietas or silk, and trimmed
! all around with a rpche and lace
The bonnets and capOttes the more d Ia mode,
/ for this season called 4" half and-a-half" Let
| me ma Ike you understand what mean. Take the
front of straw hat, of any coler, description and
! style, and the bottom Of silk bonnet. You fix
them together, and you have fashionable bonnet
The only thing to he observed is this that the silk
thinning ought TO be assorted to The color of the
straw, and If the straw is only yellow, you cannot
have il trimmed otherwise than with white and
yellow ribbon This trimming is generally made
twisted as net. II is the latest fashion. For a
grand toilette, the pink white ehapeaiAr are al
ways in demand.
The luxury of linen is also recherche! have
just seen some chemises made by the most skfu
coupeW of Paris, which the ne plus ultra of ee-
gance and grace The body is made of Holland
linen and the shoulders and sleeves are surround
ed with splendid embroidery, trimmed with raien-
ci6Hncs That invoice goes tomorrow 10 the United
States, and the lady for whom it has been bought
may show II TO her friends as specimen Of bon
goit and refinement.
The dress Of the gentlemen is not much altered,
since my last batch of fashions. With the excep-
ton Of the silk jacket, which is very much worn
during the warm part Of the day, the frock coats
are always made with short skirts, the dress coats
with pointed basquo and high collar. The panta-
looms, OF green, maroon, gray and blue draP d'ete,
with large stripes or bands, are much in favor The
linen drill is not much worn before. The
weather is not warm enough here for il.
Hats with high form and broad brim, of gray or
black fur, are also much in use
Boots and CATERS are made in pointed shape,
cut round al the toes. Small shoes, with silk
colored stockings, are well porf6s.
The hunting dress is always the same high boots
of patent leather must be worn by gentleman OF
ton ton.
No change in the dress Of children. B. II. r.
