obtained in all shades and in such a variety Of
charming designs, it is not surprising that it
should so long retain its sway ia the fashionable
world. All colors are worn, but brown-rom
the Havana brown to shs lightest shade, Gp-
preaching R~ankeen-and blue, are those most
frequently seen.
Irish pOplin makes very suitable and ele-
CANT dress for the month Of April We this
year find those made in checks or narrow stripes
much worn. Tafstss, of q light color, with
narrow strips of spotted velvet, or dotted over
with velvet flowers, is exceedingly elegant
Many walking dresses Of this material in black
are richly trimmed, either with designs in
stamped velvet or with medallions of a new
style of psssementerie. Tahetes antique con.
tisue in favor.
Brading, wide insertions of lace, aud narrow
h0unces Of guipuTe may, perhaps, be specified
as the three styles of trimming most sppTopri-
ate for spring dresses but tsifstas are also used,
in ruehes, either pinked or bound, or in narrow
q~uillings, which must on no account be placed
higher than ten inches above the bottom of the
skirt. Very narrow founees are still in fashion
Tn vest Figaro is as universal s fsvorite as
ever; and frequently the body Of the dress is
trimmed so IS to appear like one. Bodies are
also made with small position basques, or with
q band but with the latter we may mention q
novelty consisting Of a long Spanish sash Of
%thffetas, which is twisted twice round the wsiss
aud tied in 5 bow at each side.
Sleeves ere almost invariably made narrow
and straight, a fashion which has now lasted
some time though we think it highly probable
that, as the warm weather approaches, we shall
frd dresses Of thin material made with wider
sleeves.
The usual form for spring mantle5 is either
toe rotonde, smsll c%ollet, ssuto-es basque (or
short jacket, end the scarf. They are very
frequently made of the same material as the
dress. Those in taffetas are all trimmed with
lace.

long fringed marabouts, resembling the ssule
feather, but not so long The marsbout deehi-
rec is certainly tile prettiest and most graceful
trimming for a dress bonnet cso can find.
Some good houses are using leather trimming

mend this style, although the utmos has been
done with such q material for the purpose.
