The style and description Of the various trim
mIngS constitute the principal alteration in the
fashion for this month. We notice a very pre-
vaIling taste for introducing black with almost
every color in trimmings, whether for robes or
bounets We drew attention to this novelty
last year, ard although it was very generally
adopted. yet. a. we fOresaW il has been rt-
yiyed this season, and will continue to be in
vogue for time. Our readers may have re-
marked that sometimes certain styles of very
simple and chaste character are more perma-
ncntly fixed than others more striking in dis
position; thus the large cssques, the burnOus,
feathers on leghOrn bonnets, eapotes of lace
lined with pink or lilac-fashions patronized
by our grandmOthers-may still be seen in the

Wide ribbons at the waist are much worn in
either morning or evening dress many of these
are of very novel and elegant designs. For
morning dress plaid plain ribbons are gen.
orally worn; for evening, POmpadour and other
fancy ribbons.
Notwithstanding the great outcry against
cTinclino, as faithful chrOniclers we have TO

as full as ever. An effort is being made to
bring IN train dresses, but we hope it will
prove unsuccessful.

material is now msde delicately fine and thin

Some very excellent toilets were seen lately
