Le Baris Foilet Las the following,


By degrees Aounces appear to be regaining
the position which for time they had par
TALLY lost. For dresses of thin texture they
certainly form the prettiest and most suitable
ornament. On baregc or tarIdtdne, pLisse or
bomLionnee may be used effectively. For
summer toilet large open sleeves will be gem
orally adopted. We can not say that they
show any novelty or great difference from
those worn last year Bodies are worn low,
or high and buttoned up. In the former case,
peletfNss or fchus are indispensable. That
more in fashion now Is the SQUARE pelerine,
formed Of narrow frills, and fastened in front
by triple bow of ribbon. Small square
pelerines of gtnipUre are pretty. They are
made Just sufficiently deep TO meet at the top
Of the dress. Although not much oppressed
by the heat Of the weather at present, shawls
and marftles of muslin and lace are those
principally made The most usual lace shawl
is that in a simple point, of rich design. The
double shawl, with d frill, is too luxurious an
article to be very frequently seeh. The man
ties have the foundation of them very small,
but are trimmed with three broad frills Tor
fiounees we may call them), so wide that they
completely .envelop the dress. Muslin man
telets are only worn by young girls. They
are distinguished by an absence of embroi-
derry and have for ornament simply bomllo,-
nees, in which a ribbon of a shade suitable to
the rest of the toilet is run.
The pelisse has nearly dethroned the pal
etot of silk, but the latter will still be worn,
especially at the seaside, as nothing is more
commodious for country or travelling dress.
Very many silk dresses are made with large
plaits, and not separated at the waist. The
bodies plain and buttoned trimmed all down
the front with bows of ribbon or ornaments
of guimpe. Sleeves wide, lined with white,
and bordered with little white ruche. Thin
materials are trimmed with a number of little
| fiounces. These some times cover the whole
of the skirt but more frequently only reach
up to about the hight of nineteen to twenty
| four inches-seven or nine is the number
more generally in vogue. The bodies are still
made with bands and wide sashes, tied either
at the front or side. Dresses for deshdbHie
of quilting, are made en- .tourredu; we may
explain this as kind of very large paletot
with only three large plaits one behind and
one on each hip, opening and rounded over

| This kind of dress is worn for dejeuner in thu
country, or walking in the parks before noon
but it is only adapted for very elegant anC
stylish figures. ....
Bonnets preserve the same form they haC
at the beginning of the season-that is t,
say, pointed in front and reaching far ovel
the forehead. Leghorn, black crinolin'
mixed with straw, and plain and fancy straws
are still much worn for morning bonnets.
