PARIS FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

PARIS FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.
Among the host of bonnets invented by the
inexhaustible ingenuity of the Partisan mo-
disties, the cheapeaux empire, for ceremanial
purposes, are the adopted favorites. They are
simply ornsmented with swallows cobbri,
or birds wing placed upon corn or upon
| little verdure; as for gold and steel ornments
and spangles, they are no longer PATRONAGE
| In the way OF fancy hats, round black chapo4e8
with white or blue feathers, and yellow straw
| with black feathers, are the most distinguish
| able.
| An agreeable innovation is the general
adoption of white, blue or green gauze wells
for all descriptiont ofbonnet- They should
be very long and thrown on one side, so as to
| drape gracefully, and not to be turned over
the bonnet, when desired to be removed while
in conversation, or for greater freedom Of re-
spiration. Even with fancy hats we have
seen many of these graceful wells, yard long,
worn with much advantage, particularly by
youthful ladies.
