Paris Fashions for JnIY-

La mode is now fixed for the season.
There Is no doubt that the dress paletot
and under-skirt en- suite will be worn
throughout the summer, and on this ae-
count plain materials will be much in IA
vOr. of course this applies to simple toi-
lette. Bodies are made with large bssqueS
or, indeed, frequently with short casque,
which takes the place Of sOrssge, being
made TO fit. Bands are sometimes worn
over thss9- We DO, not recommend this

bv some Russian leather bands and
buckles are quite ss much in vogue as they
we're last year. Blue is very fashionable
color, but perhaps white msy be said to
predominate. We find white for evening
dress, for carriage wear, and also for the
seaside. Yet there is no need of sameness,
for nothing admits of greater variety. The
charming patterns in printed muslins are
really too numerous 20 mention. Wemust
lust cite one which seems destined 10 meet
with great success. 1t is in wide black
and white stripes, with 8 shower of gold
spots over it; the spots are sOmatimes IN
wn1Ie. silks are very pretty this year,
mostly in small patterns or narrow black
and white stripes.
Straight scsrfs matching the dress have
msde their appearance here and there, but
the attempt to bring them back into fash
ion again has already been made two or
three times and failed; therefore we speak
with hesitation IS to whether they will
really become fashionable once more.
With the hot weather lace has resumed its
sway, but not so extensive in shswls IS
formerly. We find it now generally in

en- lace particularly suitable for these
shapes. The lace pAletot is made short
and fitting, and, worn with 3 robe of mus
% also for mas6, OF fslcy dresses q alpaca
limos or mohsir. The effect is especially
good on dresses or cssaques when the IN
sertion is placed over s eolored ribbon.
Although hats are now occupying much
of the time sBd ingenuity Of our artists,
there are some new and elegant models for
bonnets, the trimmings Of which are very
varied. =,
A bonnet of straw tissue, trimmed with
white ribbon edged with straw lace; bou-
ouet ssuls of seaweed, and red and black
berries- Scarf Of tulle falling over the
shoulders, and fastened to the bonnet by
an Empress comb of cut steels. Bandeao

Jasmine and small belle fours, is placed

The favorite trimming for the inside Of
the bonnet are bsndslettes of velvet, either
quite simple, without any ornament, OF
| trimmed with small bird, butterfly
| flower, or an ornament in gold, steel OF
straw, according to the trimming on the
outside of the bonnet.
The short veil, worn tight across the face,
is Discontinued, excepting for the hair
The veil now worn is OF tulle, reaching
nearly to the waste. They are not usually
kept down when paying visit, but ar
drawn On one side, so as not to hide tn
bonnet. They may be blue, pink o
mauve, according to the color of the bon
net; but white are the most universal
For evening coifures, very small flower
are used, as they alone esn be made int
bAndelettes, and this is the fashion
