Never since the days when ''George the Third was
King has lace been worn in such profusion as it is
at the present time Certainly it must be admitted
that no other trimming is so rich light, and deli
cate. Every now and then, when taste and in
genuity are exhausted in the invention of new
trimmings, capricOus fashion returns to lace. Thus
during the few past seasons we have had fringe,
passementerie, jet, pearls, &C., disposed in every
variety of form and pattern, and now the reign Of
lace is restored.
Among the most attractive novelties in the de-
partment of lace may be mentioned some very ele-
giant pelerines of the form which some wears ago

As the warm weather advances, shawls and mantle
lets both of black and white lace will be extremely
fashionable. The shawls for the most part are of
Chantilly. Many of the lace mantelets are made
with hoods of lace, which very light and ele-

ribbon. Mauvre or violet the favorite colors
for this purpose. Square shaws of black silk
trimmed with black lace, are beginning to be cx-
tremely fashionable. The lace employed for trim

nets has lately been introduced in Paris. Though
patronized by several ladies of high ton, it must
nevertheless be regarded fantasy rather than a
fashion, 1t consists of the admixture of black with
colored ribbons. A fashionable Partisan milliner
has trimmed bonnet of Belgian straw with black
and blue ribbon combined; and even bonnet of
delicate French chip has been trimmed with com
bination of black ribbon and grossee- coored vel

out of season. yet the bonnets here referred to were
made and have been worn in Paris within the last
fortnight.
To turn to something less eccentric and more in
accordance With English taste, we NAV notice some
elegant bonnets of French chip, trimmed partially
with the same material. Some have sort of dou-

blonde, interminged with very small flowers. Slips
of paille de riz frequently interminged with
the ribbon which forms the bows; and an agrafe

of grey and white crinoline tastefuy combined to-
