One of the best methods of informing our readers
OF the actual nodes is to cite ensem bLes de
toiifies WON by ladies whose good taste and ele-
ganoe are indisputable. We Shall, therefore, at
once proceed to describe visiting dress-The robe
is OF pearl gray tafIetas shot with pink plain skirt;
body open TO the waist, with edged with mar
row pink and gray brads placed alternately. The
same trimming ornaments the cuffs, which turn
back towards the elbow, ard are very loose The
body is finished with basquine, and is edged with
a deep fringe descending half way down the skirt;
this fringe, which is a mixture of pink and gray
silk, has wide heading en- resMe guipure, forming
festoons, terminating with long tassels. The bon
net, which accompanies this toilette, is of bands of
bows of white ribbon edged with fancy straw; small
moss roses and springs Of straw are intermixed
with the ribbon, and also ornament the inside. An
immense Chantilly lace shawl accompanies this
toilette. Another was Of dark green and white
glace tafietas; the founces deeply ssolloped,
edged with an embroidered wreath in white silk.
An 6cia,pe mantfld of Brussels point, lined with
dark green Grape, the lace trim ming reaching from
the wais, half way down the skirt. Open work
straw bonnet initiating lace, lined with pink Grape,
and trimmed on either side with branch Of pink
hawthorn, united by light wreaths of leaves, which
pass all round the crown. The curtain and broad
bon. The inside of the bonnet was ornamented
with punches of hawthorn.
We must mention another toilette of more Sc
date character The dress is Of violet colored
broidered with black and violet silks, each dOunce
separated by three narrow ones of black lace.
Black lace mantilla. Black tulle bonnet edged
with straw; ruche Of narrow black blonde, en-
broidered with straw round the front; bouquet of
black feathers mixed with light chains Of straw
rings, falling very low, is placed at each ear b0u
quets Of straw flowers. with long narrow leaves of
black velvet, inside. The strings of black tsfetas
ribbon embroidered with straw.
Morning bonnets of coarse straw have open edges;
they are lined with tafetas of the color the
trimming. Plaid ribbons are used, and the
greater multiplicity Of colors the more la mode.
The bows are large, and form several coques sepa-
rated in the mitd by torsade Of ribbon; small
flowers and leaves are permitted IS ornaments for
the inside of megige bonnets., -.
We have noticed q fancy bonnet, composed Of
chains Of straw rings looped in each other. pink
taffetas ribbon is passed through the rings at the
edge, forming small curs, both inside and outside.
The bonnet is lined with pink taffetas. A simple
branch ofivy orossesth head and mixes the coques
side.
Feathers are much employed for rice straw and
open whalebone bonnets, and have been brought to
great perfection this season, both as to shades and
form. We have seen some beautiful bonnets
of white tulle worked in small spots with straw,
fine that they appear like gold spots; triple row
Of straw colOred ribbonis slightly drawn round the
edge. A bouquet of marabOuts ornaments one side;
the ends have small Lies of the valley In straw,
looking like drops of rain. Lilies and ribbons inside.

nees OF pink Grape separated by ribbon, drawn like
ruche across the crown; bouillonnees Of Grape

the ends of which are fastened on each side under
tufts of small field flo overs mixed with coques Of rib

bon, with lace edge
Thin tarlatane dresses have deeply cut founces,
trimmed round with three narrow gauze ribbons
drawn at one edge. Ribbon placed en- chelle, very
closely together, on the body. The short sleeves
are entirely covered with ribbon.
Many head-dresses for young ladies are COM
posed Of single ribbon placed under the bandeaux,
and, passing behind, are fastened with bow and
long ends.
Many dresses have their trimming printed in the
material. Redingotes Of plain or chine silk, have
a broad satin stripe down the front, Of the domi-
nant shade Of the dress. Upon the dresses with
fouLces these stripes are graduated in with, re-
semblipg narrow ribbons.
We have seen a redingote Of brown and pink
tafetas in this style; broad stripe OF brown satin
runs between two narrow tucks; the bottom Of the
sleeve matches ribbon bows are placed down tho
front, fixed with an amethyst butterfly mounted in
gold. The body is very open half pagode sleeves,
discovering the collerette Medicis, and sleeves of

strewed with bouquets OF roses, with three hounces

The body Louis Nv, the front trimmed with an
echelle Of iibbon Of the same shades Of green be-
tween each narrow dounce Of English lace, imi-
of the sleeves are trimmed with green satin ribbon,
separated oy Englsh lace.
We must mentOp also, some beautiful robes Of
plain grenadine, Of different shades of gray; the
satin. The same kind Of stripes are round the
sleeves and body.
We have observed some robes Of this style, called
bdyadersS, having stripes OF divers colors upon gre
hadines, and white mousselire de sole.
comets Of wtalebone are very fashionable; some
are ofblack and white, trimmed on the side with
bun,hes Of dark roses. The broad strings and the
curtains are Of black and pink, or white ana pink
ribbon. They are lined with pink tuiie; the cap OF
tulle and rosebuds
Another bonnet Of white whalebone, trimmed
with narrow ribbons, forming hanging foliage: on
each side broad strings oinbbons to match.
The n'anftid ecihUIe is decidedly the fashion.
They are made in black taffetas trimmed with deep
magnificent lace, and enriched with ribbons or en-
broidery.
Young ladies wear the same make Of mantelet ia
pink or green taletas, trimmed with double row
Of Brussels or AleDcon lace. Some, more simple,
are in tafetas Of all colors, trimmed with deep
plain tule Of the same color the silk. Upon this
ule are placed narrow yelyets in rows Of threes.
broad velvet, which forms the head to this trim
ming, is placed upon the silk all round the mantle
let Sometimes, in place of the velvet, bouillonne
Of tue, separated by three or four rows OF narrow
velvets. We must notice one, of white tafetas, the
mantelet itself being embroidered with silk ei
Souoolc the tulle which t,ins II has nine rows Of
isfas,ened with magnificent buttons.
Independent Of all the fancy mantelets, scarfs,
and sbawls Of black lace, embroidered muslin man
telets, each have become indispensable accessories
TO summer ioiettes.
Wedding dresses merit particular notice for their
splendor The greatest novelty Is the skirt, with
alternate fiouncos of embroidered muslin snd Brus-
sels lace "A oasHe-Opt Of lace, with deep lace
