ed by Miss Simmons we also saw many
novelties--w walking dresses Of rich, heavy
material, very neat and stylish, with Z
vast variety Of evening dresses, trim
mings consisting of ilouncings, ruehings
and other styles.
AT Taylor's, 407 Broadway, we saw
among the varied over garments for the
opening season, large Spanish sack, cut
bias, with scam IN the back aud siinhtly
curved. The front is trimmed with bia,
pieces, scalloped, edged with giupurs
lace; half-tiowing sleeves trimmed same
as the front small double cape with
the same trimming.
Another novelty at the same establish
ment is the Malyenia cloak, made of vel
vet and edged with quilting Of black sill,
handsomely braided, the shoulders orna-
mented with tassels
The Victoria mantle is cut with large
box pialts on each shoulder, and one be-
hind. 1t is trimmed with a deep ruffle
around the bottom, to be box plated
The front is trimmed with French gimp.
ornamented en- the shoulders.
The various styles of dresses are en-
phatically legion. a pretty dinner dress
is made Of gray silk, trimmed at the bot
tom of the skirt with q deep founee of
chantilly lace, surmounted by double
iiounce OF silk, plated in the middle and
bordered at the top and bottom by mar
row black lace. The body of this dress
is cut with point in front, where IL was
partly opened and trimmed with a lapel
OF black silk, ornameuted with fine white
BRAID edged with a narrow lace; the
sleeves cut with an elbow and open at the
bottom, each corner being turned back
and Ornamented with white braid.
Another is a silk dress made of English
green, tint in high favor. At the bot
tom are nine narrow flOunces, placed at
intervals, in series of three each. These
hounces are an inch and half deep, but
very full they have just over the hem
a small fretted ornament in braid, of a
darker green. In the interval of the Sc
ries, and above the top one, is also fret.
ted ornament, but deeper than those on
the hounces. The body is high behind.

This garment may be worn with q COM
plete dress, or merely with foulavd on

brio chemisette, il makes very pretty
dress II should have a silk scarf as
sash.
From visit at A. M. Stewards, sos
Broadway, We learn that the bonnets of
the coming season are TO be much smaller
than the last season, the shape being
close fitting TO the face, but high at the
top. A most chaste and truly beautiful
style, adapted 10 please a refined and
elegant taste
The exquisite artistic display in the
arrangement of hOnnets in the eases. al
Stewarts, attracted our attention. One
bonnet OF black lace round the front
with an elegant ooitfure falling over a soft
crown Of silk, trimmed with black os.
trich tips, intermingled with maize, fall.
ing over the shoulder, affording a most
appearance. The inside trim
ming is formed of green velvet leaves,
trimmed with black and white narrow
lace, with cluster Of elegant vesuye
roses--a color which renders every bon
net becoming.
Another very elegant bonnet is Of ma
syland Lyons velvet, the front being of
velvet and crown Of rich white silk, a
coiiure Of elegant white lace falling oyer
the rich velvet cape which has a charm
ing effect, white ostrich feather, caught
at the side, giving a cOquetish look,
sweeps across the bonnet, falling on the
shoulder. Another very chaste mode
composed of emerald green and white
feathers, mixed with rich white blonde
for the coming winter. There is also a
wide assortment of uncut velvet bonnets,
beautifully trimmed, The straw bon
nets we saw were very pretty, one in par
ticular, ot silk velvet, and lace cape, with
a cluster of ostrich feathers which had
the appearance of having fallen there,
and resembled birds nest, an idea both
odd and effective
The prevailing and most disiingue coll
ors are the emerald green, Masy land We
suve and Havane. In the same establish
ment We also saw hats of felt and bea-
yer, which we venture TO predict will be
popular for young ladies to wear, for
walking or riding; one black beaver hat,
with long white ostrich feather inter-
mingled with black, had a very charming
effect; also one felt hat with cluster Of
elegant ostrich feather, placed in front,
had very enticing appearance, tinseled,
as il were, with snow flakes, charming
and coquettish for young ladies'. Upon
the whole everything we saw at Stewards
gave decided evidence Of artistic taste,
Altogether the Fashion season for the
fall OF 1862 opens with undiminished
energy and promises 10 be as successful
in all respects as any Of its prede-
cessors. The war has not affected the
luxury and taste Of this metropolis and
the enterprise Of our merchants affords
an almost unbounded field from which to
select. Such, indeed, is the beauty and
variety Of the articles offered, that we
shall not be surprised if our fair readers
lind q choice a difficult as well as q deli-
cate undertaking.
