quito SO graceful as Cbiua Grape, is so much
cheaper that 1t will be moro generally worn.
White dresses are more worn than ever this
season, not only for full dress in muslin, gauze,
baIege, tulle, &C., but also for morning wear in
jacOnet, muslinette, alpaca, and poll de chevre.
The robes de vile of fouard and silk With white

robes aud cRSaques Of white alpaca, poll do chevre,
and cachemire are trimmed with cOored silk. The
coors most in vogue are lilac, blue, and pink, in

worn, We have now come to mere head. dresses,

graceful and becoming to certain style OF
beauty. The chapeau Huguenot The edges
raised and trimmed with narrow black velvet. A

Each Of these has its own peculiar style; il
