Fashions FOR JUNE.

l8 From our we'll appointed dry good stores
and the monthlies we take the fashions for
thees approaching month of June. The
styles do not show very material differ
ence from last month though there is quite
a change in material. .li fII
O. Our fashions are nearly getting to be
those of one hundred years ago. The shot
ted silks then so popular: with our great
grandmothers are again coming into vogue,
and with the dove-colored silk now are in
the very heighth of fashion. A mixture OF
white with any color, but especially with
green, mauve, maize and gray is also very
much admired. Nor Is this the case with
silks only alpacas and mohairs are shot
also and make very beautiful glace materi-
ais.
AT HEADLEY & cos.
Z A beautiful silk tissue, which looks
thicker than it really is and falls in hand
some, glossy folds. is called tafetds de Cham
berry, 1t is kind of poult-de-sOie, with
sprinkling of the tiniest satin dots brOca-
ded over it. The dots are of the same col
or as the ground, and this color is gener-
I ally some soft shade of gray. This mate
rial makes up extremely pretty dresses.
Then there are glace silks, with fine sat-
in stripes; dull silks, with small satin pat
terms brocaded over them; and white silks,
with jardiniere patterns in all colors
sprinkled all over them.
rich silk and simple fancy materials. 1t is
much worn this summer, either self-color-
ed, striped, or figured. and is particularly
suitable for the walking costume en- suite.
The patterns are particularly small this
year upon foulard. Small stars, Maltese
crosses, commas and tiny fiowerets in black
or white upon colored ground, are the
most usual. A very new pattern consists
of garlands of dimiDutive flowers and TO-
lage disposed in stripes lengthways.
Out-of-door garments are, this season, as
we have already limited, made in every va
riety OF shape, SO that it becomes difficult
3 to describe them all.
Those that are of the newest style most
resemble the ma militia, whether they be of
the Bashlick shape or short circular with
hood at the back and lapels in front, or like
the Marie Antoinette fichu, crossed In front
: and fastened with sash lapels at the back, or
again, similar to the scarf mantle, with
long lapels both in front and at the back,
fastened to the waist with q sash or band,
and not only without sleeves, but without
any side-pieces.
Although the mantelet shape is the new
est, however, the paletot with sleeves is far
from being abandoned. The loose paletot
Z is now, it is true, considered quite neglige
but the tight, or half-fitting paletot, fasten-
ed at the waist by a sash with large Louis
XIV. bow and long lapels, is very fashion,

taste. either very long and in the polonaise
shape, double breasted, and fastened slant
ways down the front, or half long and
deeply scalloped out at the bottom, or,
again, with side-pieces shorter than the
{ front and back; the latter Stimulates long
sash, while the front recalls the shape of
the mantelet.
Other models, also half long, are gath
/ cred and looped up at the sides with enor-
Inously large satin rosettes; others again
have double plaits in the middle of the
back, fastened down at the waist by sash
with long lapels. These different models
are made of black gros-grains silk, trim
med with cross-strips of the same material,
piped with satin, or with satin rouleaux
disposed so as to form various patterns,
such as spikes, tabs, vandykes, or deep
scallops, or, again, with silk plated quill
ings, ruches, and lace founces.
Light fancy cloth snd black cashmere
= are still employed for travelling, and demi-
toilet paletots.
The graceful Marie Antoinette fchu, Is
so much In vogue this season that 1t is
made in all kinds of material, and to wear
with every style of toilet. A large vari-
ETY. are made of muslin, tulle, and lace,
printed cambric and iaconet, silk foulard
: and cashmere;alsoof OF all silk and fancy mate
rials similar to the dress.
Fancy bodices are also made of all these
u,ateri:sIs, and for the seaside, very pretty
Jackets of white, black, or sultan red cash
mere, are richly embroidered In the Orien'
tai style, with colored silks.
