PARIS, July 10, 1851.
| Tie Inst Partisan Fashions
The pretty American ladies who are the con-
| slant readers Of the Hrad, must have thought
that either B. II. i. was very negligent about the
fashions, that he had entirely forgotten the fair
| Sex. This not the case it, since my last art-
| Gle on the modts, (about three months ago)
have rot again discussed this "important" ques-
tion it is that had not changes enough to mention,
to write anything worth being published. The
| unusual spring and summer which we have ex-
perienced, with unsettled state Of weather, the
unusual inclemcncy Of the seasons-everythng,
| has been the cause Of sort Of "steadiness in
| tho fashionable market. But now that we have
| fully entered the swarm summer" the elegant
Partisan ladies have shown their pretty toilets, and
| must not hesitate for single moment to transmit
an official report of what have seen, to my fair
| readers Of the United States.
Let me begin with the head dress, the most im-
portant part of the female costume. The straw
bOnnets are still much in favor, but they are no
longer made plainly with straw, as in former times
a straw bonnet is now made up with bands Of hair,
or stripes Of lowered silk, worsted ribbons, or
fringes The straw is not only plain, but often it
is worked into the most skilful design. Ornamental
flowers AMI knots of all kinds are worn with the ar
ticle and this eange Of rich goods is indeed very
| tasty.
Hair bonnets, as white as alabastar, plain, and
| only ornamented with white satin ribbon, trim
med with blonde, and valenciennes, are as re-
crrchS as possible The newest article Of the kind
y thus composed OF sort OF net made up with
bands of white bair, and adorned with embrsi-
deries and p;ak chenille, which placed in the
ire of the empty squares The inside s trimmed
with pink gauas, silk the ribbon, of which tho
beau and the brides are formed, are also pink.
Many flowers, Of assorted coors, arc put under and
above the bonnet.
| Another charming bonnet is that called Capeline.
1t consists of large pieces of silk, twisted up with
eauze, and trimmed on the edge with velvet ribbons
Of a very narrow pattern; two equal punches of
flowers put on each side aud large tufts OF small
ribbon are attached by the sides Of the temples.
The more fashionable flower, this year, is the
wild poppy, though the red color renders it, for
persons, political standard, which renders prefer
| able the buebotue and the lilies Of the valley.
The dresses still made with six ranges Of
flowers, and tho bodice is still cut in the shape of
those of the time Of Louis XIV; the sleeves
! large and trimmed with SMALL flowers of ribbon,
| wal he ~ As
| the goods which the most fashionable ladies have
chosen for the season. they are, 6rst the chine silk;
second, the printed fouiards; third; the poplin,,
patterns and colors; fifth, the gauze dresses; aud
sixth, last, not the least, in my opinion, th' tue
over dresses, which are trimmed with ribbons, and
produce the most admirable effect.
There are, also, many other sorts and varieties Of
| the above-named goods, which called by the
| Becks" and "Stewarts " of Paris, bareges,
grenadines, and these goods are covered with gar
| be described, would render necessary more than
the entire sheet Of your double edition.
| The country costumes, which are used AZ the
the watering places, sea shores, and chateaux Of
Fran &c, made Of woollen cotfls dispositions,
with large stripes on the front and the edges Of
the dress. Cotton, linen, and silk goods are also
| much III favor.
These morning dresses are made in two parts
the first being skirt fixed with hooks to the waist,
and the second being sort Of small oyercoat, but
toned in front, and gently falling upon the hips
| Others look like q gentlemans overcoat, but all Of
them are trimmed with small flo wers, which render
| them very graceful
The linen is, nowadays. one Of the most elegant
parts of ladys toilet, and the firm Of Bcrtier Isl
| Rue Richelieu) has the best assortment Of the
kind. There is one Of the most admirable show
cases ever bched, containing the N, Plus ultra Of
