Short dresses are always worn in the
street, at the Exhibition, everywhere where
one must walk; they are of different
lengths and the prettiest, as usual, is the
medium-at distance from the ground OF
about an inch and half.
For the house, long train dresses, with no
crinoline and short in 'front.' so one may
walk without raising the dress, as holding
a skirt up at the front or sides, completely
destroys the graceful effect of long
train.
The size and form of crinoline depends
on whether it is to be worn under short
costume or a train skirt. If under the
former, it should measure two and hall
yards round the edge, and have three rows
of steels. o.. % .rs-
In jupons there are many novelties. the
short dresses compelling attention to be
given to the petticoat. Every variety of
colored, embroidered and pettcoat edgings
is sold by the yard, so plain petticoats
whose edges are no longer fresh can be re-
newed and changed.
The skirts of silk dresses cat with trains
are once again trimmed with narrow
pinked-out fiouhces, sewn on one above
the other. and thus producing the effect of
a scaffolding of leaves. When sash is
worn with these dresses, flounces on a still
smaller scale are added round it; there are
usually seven rows of flounceS round the
skirt, and three round the sash.
Flat piping or bands are now very FASH
ionable as trimming for dresses-some-
times rouleauX or pipings of two differ
ent shades on material of s contrasting
color.
Eastern materials are fashionable for
what are called toilettes de fdntaisie; they
have most novel and picturesque charac-
ter. Yellow stripes studded with flower
cts of different hues, or crossed with bril-
liant arabesques. are the favorite patterns,
and these serve for the under-skirt; white
silk tunic is worn over them, while above
the tunic sash of rich silk is loosely knot
ted without forming any loops. These
same costly sashes are now much worn
with both white muslin and black silk
dresses which are made with train skirts.
and they impart at once to the toilette a
very fashionable and distinguished stamp.
Wristbands to evening dresses are now
made with very short but wide sash ends,
and the rosette which fastens them consists
of circles of small loops arranged one on
the top of another, like the petals of a
rose.
Ribbon sashes are only worn with
muslin and gauze dresses; for silks, fdiues,
&C.. they are made of the same material,
corded all round, or otherwise edged. The
ends are very long and very wide, and fas-
tened either at the side or the back, or ar
ranged so as to loop up the skirt.
There is great invasion of gold in ladies'
toilettes, and more especially in the still
favorite black toilette; it commenced on
bonnets, but is not at all likely to be sta
tiOnary there. Bonnets OF all varieties are
black and gold, from the Fanchon, embrio-
dered with jet to the toquet, tilted over the
nose, which, as now worn, is perfect Carl
cature. A gold spray has quite dethroned
the aigrette; its leaves may be seen on every
lady's hat either standing upright or lying
down on black velvet or black lace bows.
The most fashionable leaves are those of
the olive, the oak, and the laurel; small
Marguerites and buttercups are also worn,
and all these are made in dead gold, bright
gold being only used for such fruits as
punches of grapes and currants, or for
evening headdresses. Foliage is also made
OF simple gold paper at a very cheap rate.
Hats trimmed with gold require wells
made with two long ends, likewise embro-
dered lightly with gold: these are tied at
the back in large bow, and fastened there
with either gold butterfly or grasshopper.
Diamonds and other precious stones are
used to fasten at the back the long stream
ers attached to blonde and tulle wells but
such full-dress ornaments could only be
used en- grdnde toilette.
The color called Bismarck has become
sort of uniform with French ladies' 1t is
the CUR or Russian leather shade, with a
dash of red. A light golden brown is also
called Bismarck.
Empire redingotes are made of thin white
cloth, with Hungarian embroidery worked
in various colored woods and braids, and
lined with silk of some bright hue, such as
blue or scarlet. This form is used fer wa
ter proof cloaks. These redingotes reach
a short way below the instep, and are worn
over colored silk petticoats. Some have
tight, others wide falling sleeves. The
bodice crosses in front at one side. They
are also. made both with and without re-
ue,s. The petticoat is only just long enough
to allow OF the boots being seen.
Waistbelts rAfiicaine are much worn.
and the necklace and earrings to match /;
when these are worn with a high dress,
the collar is changed for a small lace ruff
and the brooch dispensed with. Another
necklace is made of yard and half of
threaded pearl beads, each terminating in
a long pearl grelot; this is wound three
times round the neck, and tied loosely In a
graceful knot.
The short, square Jackets or Paletots
still continue fashionable: some are finish
ed at the bottom, by the pepluns points
White trimmed with black velvet and
braiding is much worn.
In evening dresses, the great novelty is
pearls and black lace, over pink silk. Very
pretty party dresses are decorated with
ears OF corn. The material i, white mus
lin, and the corn is embroidered with raw
