An elegant black silk dress, intenoez Tor
slight mourning, is very neat, and has been
made in the following style: The material
is very rich black glaee, and the skirt is
trimmed, up three quarters of its length,
With series Of bias bands Of silk, set in
on very large vandykes. Each fold is head
ed by piping OF violet silk. At the up
per point Of the yandyke, formed by the
HPpermost row Of trimming, there is a ro-
settle Of black lace, fastened in the centre
by very narrow violet-cclored cord and
tAssels. The cOrsaRe of this dress has no
point, and the front, from the shoulders to
the waist, is ornamented with bias folds
corresponding with those on the SKIRT
The sleOVes are demi-wide, ornnmented
with bias folds, and on the outside of the
arm with lace rosettes and violet cords and
tRssels, With this dress is to be worn
ceinture of a peculiarly elegant and novel
character, which has just been introduced
In Paris, where it has received the attrac-
tive name of the "Ceinture Marie Stuart
This novelty is formed simply Of lace and
PHssementerie. In the ceintnre for the
mourning dress above described, the me-
dnIlious are formed of black and violet
Passementerie aud the long ends Of black
lace are finished by rOsettes of the same,
and ViOlet-colOred cords and tassels. The
bonnet intended TO be worn with this dress
las the crown of black Grape and the front
of black tulle, covered with black lace
The trimming consists ofA band formed of
folds OF violet Grape, passing round the
bonnet, aud finished in bow at the back
long violet-cOlored ostrich feather, fixed
on the left side, and twisted spiraIIy, waves
towards the opposite side OF the bonnet
The under trimming consists of tasteful
combination OF While tulle, bIackELaee, and
sprays of violet and jet flowers.
Two admirable dinner dresses, which we
may here describe, have beea worn this
week by ladies of high fashion. 0ae was
composed Of mauve-coIored MORE, the
skirt very long, full, and quite plain The
corsage was low, and with it was worn
fichu, ga Ia Marie Autoiuette," of white
blonde. This fichu had long ends crossed
in front and linked together behind, de-
scendiug like the ends of sash. In the
centre. in front Of the ichu, was diamond
brooch. The lady who wore this dress
had her hair dressed in profUsion of ring
lets at the chIgnon, and the only ornament
OF the couture was a comb richly set with
amstbysts. The other. dress to which we
have alluded was of cerulean blue satin.-
The corsage was high, open in front, aud
with reVers covered with AlencOn lace a
ceintnre of blue satin edged with lace was
tied on one side. The bonnet of the CON.
ing season will, as heretofore, have the
fronts very much raised up in the centre
They will be frequently trimmed with full
tufts of flowers, such as shododeudrOn,
azelea, hyacinth, or lilac mounted with fol-
iage, sc. Among the models for the new
spring bonnets already received from Paris,
there is one having the crown formed of
embroidered tulle and the front of plain
tnlle. This bonnet is trimmed with SOL
ferno Grape, feather OF the same color,
and ruche of black lace; the curtain is
composed of SolEerino Grape edged with
three folds, and white roses are intermiu-
g!ed with the uuder trimming. Another
bonnet is composed Of white tulIe in folds,
with lOzenge formed spaces between them.
The trimming on the outside is of mauye-
colored Grape and black lace; under the
brim there is ruche of Mechlin lace and
tutt of white azaIea. The curtain consists
of mAuve-colored Grape partially covered
with white blonde. Several of the newest
hats for children have broad brims turned
up in front, in tue Hungarian style.
