After changing on the verge" of the tot
lettes of our great-grandmot days,
fashion has finally made the step backward,
and the styles of Louis XIV. and Louis
XVI. now flourish in all their original
splendor. There are notifications, of
course. Skirts are gored, it is true, but
they are ample and flowing. Crinolines
are far from being left OFF, they have mere
ly changed their shape; they are plain in
front, but puffed out at the side, resembling
the hoops or paniers of the last century.
Panfers are not much in favor, nor do we
think they will be. The tournare will be
more generally worn. These skirts are
made of puffed hair-cloth, with few steels
clun,sy, looking, bat Fashion says they are
necessary to support the heavy sashes now
In vogue, and who dares dispute her will

We are now right in the middle of sum-
mer styles, and but few changes will be
made before the fall fashions appear. At
Headley's we find an immense stock of
summer goods, and our leading modistes
are busily engaged in making up the thin
fabrics brought to the city by this house..
A new mode of ornament forgrenadines,
Is seen in "a lilac robe, which bore twig
work and large pansy spray down the
center of each breadth, in applique of
shaded silk the same color, neatly stitched
on this can be done inleaves, or any flow
ornamented with colored leaves or flowers,
would make both a.pretty and inexpensive
dress. The cape or ,fichu is a necessary ac-
compartment to all thin dresses; these are
made in many different forms and of differ
ent materials. We see them of Illusion,
trimmed with blonde and satin, OF embroid-
cred muslin, of the most costly white and
black lace, and of laces of Inferior quail
ties. Others are simply made OF the same
material as the dress, and trimmed to cor
respond. The Marie Antoinette and LAM
bale are decidedly the most fashionable
These fichus vary in form, but one of the
prettiest consists of two long scarfs, the
folds stitched down at the shoulders as well
as at the waist, and arranged like beads on
the bodice. They are then crossed under
the waistband, and hang in tour wide sash
ends under the skirt. ,ns.e-
This house has made sacque and cloak
making a speciality, and their styles ere
very popular They exhibit sacque with
Mantilla ends, which is very pretty
Sacques, and in fact everything else. is
now trimmed with satin. Never have SO
many handsome styles of handsome trim
ming been seen, as now. Ingenuity seems
to have been taxed to produce new and
beautiful trimmings, and with the greatest
success.
Among the cloaks we notice very beau
tifuI one made of French bonnet silk, trim
med with rows of bias ruff1ed satin and
silk, placed full upon front and back ex-
actly alike. The trimming on the sides is
narrower and put on plain, The sash is of
the usual width, trimmed to correspond.
Another beauty is the basquine q Ia null
taire, which Is tight fitting, with mantilla
front, aud deeply pointed on the sides.-s
This also is trimmed with narrow bands of
silk and satin around the basquine, sleeves,
and sash, and across the breast, after the
manner of q soldiers coat, from which It
derives its name. sAll the sleeves are made
in the coat form. now SO long popular. :-o1
In outside coverings of lace, points are
the most popular; they can be had in
thread and llama lace the latter are most
excellent imitation of good lace, are very
much worn, and are not near as expensive.
We also see some very pretty sacques, two
of which are particularly graceful pal
etot with sleeves in black llama lace, and
beautifully sacque named the 'tCas-
tillanir with long flowing sleeve. The
"Rotund Peplum" is a. pointed circular,
jackat is particularIy pretty to wear over
colOred dresses. I'VE also. see Shetland
shawls in plain white and black, also with
colored borders, and in cofored and white
stripes. These can be had in the real Shet-
land, or In the woven ones, which are not
near as expensive, and are quite as desira.i
BILE, as they SO soon SOIL "a
AT Headley's there is a printed shawl
which must be very popular, as 1t Is diff
cult to distinguish between it and real
cashmere, and it is not costly. Fer ordina-
ryzsummer wear nothing can be neater.
Iutrayeling goods we find here mixed gray
goods, plain black foulards, alapaca popliD,
the chene of Lyle thread and wool, iron
bareges, and many others =. '''i
II AT SIMMONS HEADQUARTERS. - eiii IS
Here is the greatest collectioifof bonnets,
flowers and bonnet trimmings to be found
in the West. How are We to speak of the
bonnets ? They are getting to be 50 small
as to be almost unnoticeable. They are
smaller than the last those now worn
are the smallest yet seen. If they go on
decreasing, soon they will be nothing but
illusion strings fastened on the top by
spray of flowers. The latest novelty, is a
bonnet entirely composed Of flowers we
saw them OF small roses, pansies, field dali
sias. I violets, etc. The bonnet is about four
inches deep, made by the wires being
twisted together; Q spray of flowers falls
from each Side, and is fastened to form the
