lie Follethas this er-edthedrd bulletin con
cerning ladies' fashions:
Various novelties in material have been
prepared for the forthcoming season. We
notice. also, a few of last years goods with
new faces, by the difference in pattern and
general character. We may mention, among
others, the popline de ldine, in large plaids,
or spotted with petits pois; the reps, with
wide stripes downward-green and black,
or violet and black, are the most elegant
colors for this material-printed .fouLdrdJ de
ldine, in dark grounds, with small bunches
of flowers; and new material, called Turin
velvet, a perfect imitation of terry velvet,
but composed of silk and wool.
These fabrics are made with plain skirts,
but very full; and the bodies generally have
tight sleeves.
| The corsdge pldstron is very elegantly
| worn, and is very becoming to some figures.
1t is applicable TO almost all materials. We
noticed a very elegant dress of violet
tdfetds antique made in this style. The
ptdstron was Of black velvet, richly worked
| with jet beads. The sleeve was tight. AT
the top of the arm was full puff, cross
barred with black velvet. In each diamond
formed by the trimming, was a small jet
hanging ornament. The skirt was entirely
| without ornament, excepting the at pockets.

velvet, shaped and trimmed like the ptastron
on the body. -'
Though moires and Pompddour silks are
worn, tdfetdS, antiques and satins seem at
present the favorite wear for a toilette
hGbillee. Of these, the emerald green and
the new shade, called Havanne, are the
colors most elegantly worn.
Black moiTGs are very elegant, and their
effect depends entirely upon the style, and
of the trimming by which they are accom-
panied. For instance, we have seen a black
moire with a bouiLlonee Of apple green silk,
and ruche of black guipure in the center.
The sleeves were tight and had two puffs of
apple-green silk at The top. Between them
was placed Tuche. as o."
Some dresses are being made with the
skirt perfectly plain in front, the plaits COM
mencing about two inches on either side of
the fastening.
The Zouave jackets are beginning to be
slightly wadded. Some are edged with a
quilting of silk, of the same color as the
skirt with which they are worn; others are
trimmed with chicoTee TushiRgs an ornament
likely to continue in favor throughout the
winter.
Many dresses that we have seen have been
trimmed with pdtteS of velvet. We noticed
a silk dress, cOuleur Hdvanne, which had
small pattes of black velvet, edged with
narrow guipure, placed down each seam in
the skirt, and three rows on the body, one
on each shoulder and the other between.
The Macaron and kterroh buttons are still
worn, and have a very nice effect when worn
with thick dresses, on which q more elabo-
rate style of trimming would be out of place
Indoor skirts are worn with a slight
strain, especially when made of satin. AL
kinds and styles of pasSementerie are making
their appearance; some are, extremely ele
giant. The skirts of some dresses are made
en- pointe and embroidered en- Soutache com
mencing very wide at the hem, and gradu
ally diminishing toward the waist.
For evening dresses, light materials are
most in request, such as tdrIdtdnes, nets, tulles
illusion, Grape, &C.; the bouilLonnees, or mar,
row hounces, are the usual trimmings. The
9 latter are generally set on very full, an(
futed.
For married ladies, so simple style o
