All sorts of gay colors are continually worn,
and the contrast of the various shades gives our
toilets an almost Oriental appearance. / have
seen material with pale gold aud purple
stripes, for instance, which looked exceedingly
pretty. The tunIc was looped back en- pan er5,
but unicolored, while the hat OF Italian straw
had small clusters of OF cherries, scattered in
most original manner, for ornament. Almost
every tunic assumes nova days the form of
square or rounded apron IN front and OF
paniers behind more or less loOped up. For tuli
dress toilets next winter thls description of Co.'S
tunes will be worn altogether. The style for
wiuter hats is also iorecasting its shadow
already. As might have been expected, they
will have high crowns. lhe principal orua-
ments Will be puhs, feathers, and aigrets This
style of head dress will be admirably adapted for
the costumes oil the Louis XIV and Louis XVI
age, which are so far from going out OF ia hiou
as to become still more complete, and powder
and beauty-spots are seriously spoken OF. In
the meantime, the fashion of head dresses is
miXed-neithcr high nor low. Flat chiguons
on the head, small hats with fiat caps, narrow
fanchonnettes with flower putfS, are all the
rage. To return to costumes. have seen a
very pretty one on the beach of Trouvile. A
round skirt of silver gray Mexican silk i'd q
high founce aud a fold of scarabee tatfeta for
ornament; an apron OF the same material was
bordered with small founCe and a fold OF sca-
rabee tatfeta at the top. What was visible at the
the back part of the skirt looked very original
on account OF a knot OF scarabee sash being
fastened to it, while the sleeves OF the dress

very fine silver grey straw was bordered with
scarabee satin. The somewhat high cap had q
lustre OF scarabee feathers for ornament which
fell gracefully down on one side over the ring
lets of the chignon, which had been put very
high on the back part of the head. Another
hot less original costume was made OF green
elaced silk, the lower skirt had piplngs Of
founces placed below at certain distances from
each other, while the upper skirt looped
back in three paniers repeated the
dt trimming cn on smaller m scale
completed by Marie Antolnette mantalet,
knotted on the cnest by Paoillon knot and
falling down over the sides SO as to become fast
ened behind at the top of the skirt q few cent?
metres lower than the waist. This mantelet is
bordered by pipings at certain distances, and
moreover, ornamented with microscopic knots,
visible on the intervals left by the p,pngs. A
splendid dinner costume has just been finished
tor the Marquise OF V. 1t is a vapory skirt of
white gauZe held up en- pdnaers in very original
manner, over turkois blue transparent by a
large tulkois blue sash. The waist is cut low
and square, and has very rich wide lace fast
ened by turkois clasps all around the shoulders.
am at a loss what to say of linen wear, Bou-
nets always keep the fanchon or the Catalan
style, and only vary in the style OF borders.
The most becoming is Catalan bonnet of en-
brodeIed muslin. A ribbon, corresponding in
shade to the toilet, forms square which midi
Gates the top of the head, and falls down under
the cbignon which 1t half covers. Small knots
of embroidered muslin aud of ribbon form the
front of the bonnet, while two long ribbons
float behind. Another pattern is the guipur
ianchon. The front of the bonnet is looped
back over the top of the head in two points
bordered by a narrow ribbon. A founce of
guipure serves as ornament for the back part.

rich guipure lace covering knot OF ribbon.
