The Fashions,

The mofistes of this city are cIoseted al pres
ent deyising new and unknown styles Of raj
ment for their fair customers. They observe
silence about all their plans for the sprlne but
there is one thing Of which we can assure the
ladies. The bonnets for the coming season will
not be increased in size, although the trimming
may be more elaborate and costly than their
predecessors. The charming, convenient and
cog uettish little street dresses will De fashioned
IN still more attractive style, and the cloaks
VIII undergo many ana material changes. la

animated flowers. and the most attractive is The
daisy. with petal basques Of silver cloth and
skirts OF green satin leaves, and the fan. with
pointed satin folds and yerIe de cogae orua-
ments. The skirt of promise is azure blue
gauze, sprinkled over with buds and bursting
woodland fowerets. The black swan furnish
TO recommend AZ in either fashionable or orni-
thological point of view. The Partisan bellies
are returning TO the era OF edtices of false hair
which we hope Will not find favor i'm America.

dence of ladies on this side of the Atlantic TO
find that all the imported fashions have 10 be
considerably modified before they Will Dr. ac-
cepted. The opening of the spring season will
undoubtedly show a great revolution an regard
