Friend for June The most stylish dresses
gored, and whiehsin consequence sit per-
fectiy plain AL round; and the body and
sleeves being tight-ftting to accord with
the skirt, gives decided advantage to all
well made and wen proportioned figures;
This close-fitting style has another very
great advantage In its economy; q silk
dress now only requires eleven or twelve
yards, instead of sixteen or seventeen
For out-door coverings there appears to
be something to suit all tastes, tor peplums,
burnouses, loose paletots, and pale.
tots fitting the figure are one and
ball made. Black cashmere peplums
ara cut out round, the edge is either
vandyked or scalloped, and they are em-i
broidered at the back with jet beads, so as
to simulate the long ends called reins or
saiuesmoi., The principal feature of novel
ty in all the new paletots is that they have
wide sleeves. Ih1a,i5 ssssii ,4s Eli
And this wide sleeve affects many forms.
There is the Judge" sleeve. which is sim
| ply the old wide pagoda shape there is the
polonaise sleeve, which is straight and open
to the top of the arm the Venitian sleeve,
which is only open as far as the elbow; and,
lastly, the Galtlee sleeve. This last is not
separate from the paletot, but forms a part
Of it and is, In fact, only asimulated sleeve.
It describes point at the bottom and
terminates with tassel it opens at the
cuff, and the side Is trimmed either with a.
row of buttons or jet embroidery. ~
The tight fitting .casaque or peplum is
popular The peplum skirt is now, formed
into every variety of points; some have
points at the sides only; some are pointed
at the sides and back; others have the
points at the back, front and sides, or have
two points at the front, one at each side,
and one at the back, some even have a
double, series Of points, one laid over the
other. These peplums are always made
tight fitting, and are generally worn with
ceintures.l ~ 10 gi7i-,ss ,.ria ssstiza5 srlsis
. That short, square-cut or loose style of
paletot which prevailed SO much last sea-
son, is still considered extremely fashion
able, and is well suited to be worn over the
gored close-ftting style of dress. rssR
Real horsehair crinoline is found more
suitable to the present style of dress than
the steel cage, 3as'
+ Novelties in the bonnet line are Fanchons
made of silk, and cut SO that when the bon
net is made up it has all the effect of large
flower. In either pink or white silk they
look like pink or white roses. The bonnet
is tied in front with plaits of silk, and al
the back there are plaits of the same shade,
and these latter hang down the back
Tulle lappets, worked over with beads and
tied under the chin with flower, are still
used for black bonnets ornamental with
jet. Rksf 4ess ser
A snowy and stylish bonnet is a buff
Grape, trimmed with black real lace, and a
profusion of amber ornaments.
In hats, a great variety of shapes will be
worn, and the style of trimming them will
be no less varied and novel; The principal
shape for misses seems to be low, round
crowned hat. izrs rs
French ladies do not dress their hair as
large or as high as American ladies.
Red paletots for seaside or. country veal
are now made without trimming round the
edge, but have two tabs or pattes in front
which are not as long as the jacket, while
at the back three pastes are arranged a.
rays A very pretty style of ornaments
ton for these red paletots, and one easily
produced by an am ateur, is to einbroider
piece OF black velvet thickly over will
chalk-white beads to place this on a band O
SCARLET cloth pinked out atsthe edges, and
then to sew these on ia still wider band o.
white cloth; this deeoration,. although
most inexpensive, will be foundlvery bril-
liza Mt in effect. .ro., ~ .+ IS ~
Wristbands made of imitation amber ar,
popular. Black silk dresses are nov
trimmed with q profusion of amber grelot
and fringes. When real amber can be af
forded, these trimmings on black silk are
considered very good style. 81. ~ ~

4 for ball dresses. 1t is ball apron, resem
d bling in style those small articles which no
Hong ago were thought indispensable fol
morning wear. Imagine these same aprons
only without pleats, quite plain in front o
the dress. and describing at each side tw,

bordered all round either with n arrow
founces or bouillons Of tulle, and the man
ner of fastening it in its appointed place
Original. AT each side of the apron ther
i are two sash ends, each one forming thre
pleats; these descend to the center of tn,
apron, and are then carried to the back o
, the skirt, where they are tied; they enlarg
las they descend, and are finished off eithe
with ruehes or boHillons. These apron
have already been very generally adopte,
by young ladies, especially over tarlatan
dresses, which are trimmed with very mar
row zfiounces, ascending as high as tn
knee-a fashion which has once more com
into vogue. Tarlatane dresses are also mad
with only five fiouuces round the lowe
part of the skirt, and between every fiounc
