PARIS August Is, 1868.
The annual stir in fashions potpou,vi, previous
to the departure OF the Court for Biarrltz, has
brought few articles uppermOst which hasten to
skim or in order to convey some idea OF the tran
stions which will lead us on to the new fall styles.
Cool mornings and cool evenings have reminded our
authorities that Marie Anonette chus will be insult
ncent covering before the leaves drop; but as
ladies would much prefer going bare shouldered to
the announcement Of fchus, the world and all its
ways, these skilful advisers OF our sovereign
have contrived short, loose jackets, mostly
open up the sides, having the indispensable
Tranon pelerine, berthe fchu and ends. People
talk Of state ministers and their debates II such
diplomatists were unequalled 1t Is great mistake.
Any one who has been present at conclave for the
adoption and propagation OF an approaching seasons
fashions can vOuch that nowhere Is genius 30 fully
displayed as over the new articles OF new code.
Partial meetings are only held yet; but as the mo-
tons resolved on have been signed for Biarritz
your readers may be secure they are reliable.
The prettiest peerine jacket therefore, Is as yet
made Of black gros grain. 1t is short and like a
scarf In 'front.' but straight behind. 1t Is trimmed
round with fringe OF seed coral and pearl seed beads
under heading Of fine gold braiding. The pelerine
Is square In front and tied between the shoulders on
the back with two scarf ends equally fringed. 1t is
very elegant and is suitable to our Vatican styles,
moreover very expensive, which will make 1t proba-
bly, all the more desirable. Something very pretty
and less exravagant Is white cloth, or white cash
mere, frnged with colored velvet ball fringe. And
