who would now pass for natives Of Sicily the bor-
ders Of the Gauges, Guadaquiver, or the Arno; and
far from losing any Of the style taste for which

Lace preserves its superiority. The Chantilly
shawl, or the lace mantle, with hood encrcled with
ruche Ct lace, points out the lady of good taste
and large fortune. 1t is more in harmony with the
silk robe than over tsrletane or muslin; however,
some OF our elegates may be seen in embroidered
muslin peigncirs, covered with shawls Of English
or Chantilly lace. The rich cachemires, cmbroi-
