tnlle sleeves are puffed long enough to reach be-
low the bcrthes and leave visible small bou-
ouet of daisies which loop them up at the sides.
Tho silk petticoat is covered with three double
tulle skirts without hem or plat; the three skirts
are gathered at the waist; the longest one falls

IL pulled, the upper one rolled inwards and pas
sing on each side over the Gordon of flowers which
ornaments the front of the head. On the back
hair, en- ctch-feigne, there is group OF flowers,
with the foliage falling on the neck.
The spring fashion for bonncts and coin res

There is no diminutlon in the circumference
of the jupons and founces of the fair sex. The
macadamized streets are yellow pool throughout,
after Ave days of constant rain. Nothing can
exceed the ridiculous figure of our small danes
of the haut-ton in the protuberance ofthcr coats
and robes, us they endeavor in their walks to de-
fend themselves from the mud Recently one of
the most renowned of our pulpit orators, the
Able dc Deguery, observed in sermon, "Wo-
men, now a-days, forget in the astonishing am
plitude ofthcir dresses that the gates of heaven
are very narrow"
