a few weeks ago, ladies who could afford
TO wear ninc or ten 1ounccd muslin petticoats
discontinued their crinolinps, of course this
made but very slight difference iu the circums
ference eilcr at the bottom or top Of the skrs
MS all these rctticoas were so gorcd as to be
quite plain on Tie hips. Tic weather is now
so warm that so great weight Of skirls would
be unbrarublc, therefore, at the present mo-
mcnt, under thin dresses, one thick petticoat
and two thin ones arc worn over q small criuo'
linc under thick skirts, two pcltcoats, the one
/ uqxt the cage being always white. Thcrc are
two forms Of crinoliuc woru-ono round and
+ nthor Short for out.Oi.docr dresses when
Ilooped ny; the other rather larger, aud with
tain, Tor in door dress, or when the skirt is
allowed TO rest on the ground.
The petucoats Cow are So much shown that
they nrc generally moro ornemcutal than the
dresses. For morning toilets they arc gencr-
ally mode either OF the same material as the
dress and palotot, or OF cashmere tie color OF
the ornaments on the dress. For more drossy
occasions the pclticouis arc made Of white OF
coorcd silk. The white pctticoais worn under
thin dresses are most elegant-liltlo goullcred
founccs edged with lace; pcrpenlcnl0r tucks
alternating with embroidered insertion OF
cluny; med,lions Of embroidery or euipnro
over coloied ribbons; in short, every day in
troduccs some new and elegant mariner =
trimming them. When the dress is lGopcS
over petticoat for out.of- door vear the pet
ticoat should not touch the ground, but b
merely short distance from it, In SOM
cases the undorskirt is made full length, will
IA train, out then II is intended for double
skirt, aud not merely Il peitc0at.
For morning wear the palGtols arc nlmos
always OF the same ma,eriu! as the drcrs.-
They urc sometimes made loose and short
with or without q hood but always Wit

with the skirt. When there is a body to III,

extra covering out Of doors, q pcplum bo3k i
made separate from tho body, aud being sow
on to a narrow ribbon, is ia tened round I'll,

The small, blacl; cashmere, loose paetots
spotted with JqatES arc not now so elegant o

same material, ornamcntcd with beads, o
edged either with bead fringe ora lac

accompanied by mantcs Of tho same, thcs
can be made either circular coaks, only reach

p taste Of the woarcr. When made in thcs
Thin materials The walstband should never b
worn outside. For clcs orbaetcsdc visii
black ldicc casoques nearly tight.ltlng, N
more elegantly worn than the black lac
slnwl that has been so long in favor. Blacl
silk man.Ies are NOT mueh worn; they arc in
tcpded more for spring or autumn veal.
There is not much alteration in the form {
bonnelsi the Galette, Lambao Fauchorott
being most in Iayor. The hitler Is ycr
small "Fmchon,' merely reaching to III
chsuou, not covering it, aud slightly bent
- front. The Lambailo is perfectly round, bu
n slightly bent down at each side 10 the shap
of the head and generally has q Maria S,ual
'front.' Tho Galetle is also perfectly roUn
oo' but quite fat, not in any way taking the lorl
