 F The rage for bright trimmings is as great as eyer. Steel, is. much worn; gold, rivals it, but crystal is the latest and most approved novelty. I Tule bonnets are much ornamented with it ]; flowers are covered with it. Besides these shining bounets we may see the simplest toil- ettes--dress and paletot to match indeed, it seems just now as if one could adopt the sim, plest style, or have recourse to the greatest ec. centricity of dress, without appearing singular. 1 But the latter will scarcely be ;he taste of .I truly elegant woman. .a a'ot sHntissa'' s
 In Paris; mu sin is pretty much dethroned, for walking dress, by thin materials, which will not 80 easily crumple; but it is still much worn l indoors and in the country. White is now not at all confined to young people; all it's impor- tance depends upon the style of trimming.
 We have remarked some charming ceintures, which form a complete trimming for the skirt :; and also some bodies simply covered with a lace yeste. which has this advantage, that it l ifCo ioI uiuCL0ue, ulcSSSS-~ UaISSS3 tafstas, and foulard, ii i...s a. r.ale '.sa
 Plain light corn-hower blue appears to be the shade most iu favor for foulard this season. either quite plain or spotted with black spots or striped with very fine black lines. When plain, it should be finished of by thick chick oree, put on at equal distances round the bot tom of the skirts, Or placed up each seam to waist and round the bottom of the sleeves and the armholes. t bad l. 5 s.f @f fa@.H.t ]. A simple but pretty trimming, which looks we'll also on foulard, Is formed of three bias pieces of the same material, piped with colsr matching the pattern. This style oftrimmine can be worn on Sumner taff-tas. for which We may also mention the bias hounces twelve or thirteen inches wide set on in gathers. One only is worn nt the bottom ofthe skirt. Inser- tions of lace are put above the hem, but cords are placed at the bottom of the skirt. and either carried up each seam as high as the waist, or finished off third of the distance up with Q bow. For simple dress mediunl-width dounce or b;as piped with deep shade, are assured ly the most suitable. Small hounces are quit. out of vogue for dresses but in great favor fol petticoats. ...s3 ..af ..,. ..-.,...fa., :,
 Sultane, in wool or silk, with embroidery ol straw or black chenille, is material now in vogue for morning dress. ] White, either in foulard, alpaca, quilting ol muslin, will be very fashionable this year. Em broidered muslin will also be in great, favor either over colored silk or white. .a 2
 Although the chapeau empire finds some pat ronesses, the 'chapeau fanchon holds it's sway and will we hope, continue to do so, as there can be no question as to which style is the more universally becoming The. fanchen is prettier in tu1le or crape than in straw; still some very elegant bonnets are made in plain and fancy straws, trimmed with violetts or frill- i ges of long grass at the back.
