conviction that at last this rebel journal
has bit upon the truth. Nor is it out OF

only suited to elderly ladies whose fig.
ures lack symmetry.
Short skirts are becoming general.
Some of them open at regular intervals
over simulated petticoat, which is
novel and pretty style.
Low bodices are all cut after ore pat.
tern; the waists are very short and are
encircled with broad round band, and
to this band either peplum, ~ fancy
basque, or sash ends, are added.
Another pretty addition to an eve
ming dress is basque cut out round the
edge .in. six scalops. The basque is
entirely closed in front, and is trimmed
with buttons. Its usually made in
some heavy material, and particularly
in velvet.
Many varieties Of low peplums and
basqulnes are now made with tarletan
dresses.
A pretty style Of low basquine is
made in Hortensia pink, China blue and
white silk.
Tarletan skirts are now made very
simple; they have either plain ruche
or three narrow quilted aounces around
the edge.
What are styled afternoon calling and
promenade dresses are trimmed very
magnifccntly, and the skirts Of them are
not yet shortened. Self.colored satin OF
rich quality is to be the favorite ma
terial for such toilets rs well as for din
ner dresses during the winter.
Bodices are row frequently trimmed
with ladders of cross-cut straps, remind
ing us Of the frog buttons of yore,
only, instead of being carried up to the
top of the bodice, these straps or bands
only mount midway up the chest. The
sides of the bodice are further decorated
with braces, which increase in width as
they cross the shoulders, and do not de
scend to the waist behind, but describe
point in the centre Of the back. Small
straps composed OF extremely narrow
cross.cut bands are carried round the
edge of TIC point, and fall in straigh,
lines on the bodice; the centre one by nc
means touching the waistband.
This brief sketch may suffice for De-
cember. We are decidedly in favor o.
the ladies dressing well and .tastefully
Let them GO on with their fnery to the
extent Of their means-bnt not beyond

so that they might show their taste
without restraint. But, while there is

For the Ladies'.
FASHIONS.

Com ncntators upon the fashions an.
nounce u change in them which will be
hailed with general satisfaction, viz: the
diminuli ion Of diameter and longitude OF
ladies IPalking dresses. The graceful
folds and sweeping lines of the long
skirts we're admirable in the parlor-
where they will be- retained but when
trailing i'll the mud and dust, Of the streets
they we're disgusting. They give to
woman great apparent height and more
grace OF motion in parlor and hall. But
when we remember their appearance in
the streets we must all rejoice at their
curtailment en- promenade, The diminu
tion OF dia amater Of crnoline followed, AS
matter Of necessity, the curlailment of
skirts To curtail the latter without
diminishing the former would have made
the dear ladies ungracefnlly short and
tu unpy.
Thee principal court dress maker Of
Paris has absolutely made some ball
dresses with short skirtsl That is in
vading the lcag skirt in an arena where
it has so long reigned supreue that it
dispossessed ofits authority. None but
thu most independent of the elegantes
can dare to eGopt shepherdess tolettes
in the midst Of the graceful tram for
some time 1t will b-'a sharp trial to
the more reserved Of the seS to appear
in dress so conspicuous as il must lie
until 1t becomes general. Should the
shortening Of ball dresses prevail the
fashion will extend itself probably to
dinner dIesses, and lastly to the par
lor.
The trained skirt has been absolutely
suppressed in the streets eE Paris, and
the short petticoats of the Restoration are
making a strong effort to gel the upper
hand. Queen Engenir, however. comes
to the rescue Of the trains. lt'is her
wish that trains shall be worn on all
occasions, dinners, soirees, etc. but Her
Majesty will encourage short skirts for
dancing, as young ladies find the train
so inconvenient in waltz and polka,
while they sometimes in crowded rooms
prov" dangerous.
We make few extracts from Paris
gossip on dress;
Short redingotes are once moro max.
ing their appearance They are made
OF self-colorcd silk and poplin, and are
worn over alpaca aud popl,n dresses.
These redingotes are also simulated in
flight colors for dinuer dresses. Thus,
.over plain white chambery gauze

with cerise rouleaux, and either a ruche
