Fashionable Chit-chat.


A truly novel and beautiful bathing dress
mas just made its appearance ON the beach,
at Long Branch, and is worn by New York
beauty. 1t consists of loose trousers, ending
Just above the ankle, and bodice made with
peplums, the points of which have tassels,
and fall about six inches below the waist.
The trousers and bodies are ornamented al
ternately with pink and white worsted braid !;
straw sandals on the feet, tied with scarlet
flbbon, and small, oval-shaped cap of oiled
linen, bound with blue braid, and ending
with small tassel, as a protection for the
head. The most novel part about it, proba-
BY, is that the bodice has no sleeves, and
the arm, from the shoulders perfectly nude.
This gives great comfort and pleasure to the
wearer, in the water, and shows off, to great
advantage, a well-shaped arm, which the
young lady who makes this innovation can
certainly boast of possessing. 1t is not GER
IAN that this no-sleeved, but becoming cos
tune, VIII be generally adopted, but it is
sure 10 attract attention wherever it is in
troduced.

LADIES BATHING.
