For the edi6cation of our lady

January fashions:
Although the winter season has
advanced, the fashion of wearing an
entire toilette of the same material is
still adopted.
White tarletanes, with double zig
zags or interlacings of colored ruch-
ing, are in favor-above all, those
spotted with gold or pearl, or with
stars of gold or glass; also those with
colored designs Another pattern
meeting with much favor is that of
flies or birds in black and gold, blue
and gold, red and silver, &c.
Many rich foulards are made in
stripes of color on white ground,
or dotted over with small designs
Ball dresses of thin material are fre-
quently made with tunics caught up
by ribbons, cords or trails of flowers.
At the bottom of skirts, bouinonnes
or fiounces are placed, and corselets
with points, or with small separated
basques, are worn. There are some
chains Of gold made as trimmings for
white satin dresses, covered with tulle
