Translated from lie Follet for the New York
TriDune.l
Striped cambric is all the rage at pres
ent, and is almost indispensable for
morning costumes of fashionable ladies.
The way it is generally worn is this !:
The skirt has very wide blue and white,
or cherry colOred and white, or green and
white stripes; it has five or seven small
fiounees for ornament, one large fiOunee,
with putting above it, or row Of plaits
or pipings may take the place of the
fiounces. The upper skirt is also made
of striped cambria, but the stripes are
more narrow. Its ornaments correspond
with those Of tho lower skirt, and the
skirt is open in front, and looped up very
high, SO as to form large putting at the
sides. 1t may also be held up at the
sides, opened behind, and cut round in
front. The Russian cheBlise of cambria
has wide stripes like the skirt, and the
Ifchu has no flaps, or q very small Lam
bale mantelet may be worn 10 its place,
bordered with trimmings which cores
pond with those OF the skirt, only on
smaller scale. The round belt is fas-
tened at the side by knot. Morning
costumes are also made of unbleaehed
linen or Mdrseiles. The linen toilets are
more simple, anci merely trimmed with
lace of striking cclors. The dresses made
of MGrseiiLes are uni-cOlored, or with
small POnlpdd0ur boquets, and serve
more as walking costumes; they can be
much improved by q tunic of white Mar
settles coquettishly looped back behind,
and bordered with more or less en-
broidered trimming. In this case the
waist must be made of unbleAched Mar
settles, as well as the skirt, and the fchti,
and the whole of it, bOrdered with en-
broidered trimming. There is no other
choice with this costume than the Wot.
teau hat, with the brims held up, aud
small DdHphine shoes, Of dull kid, or Of
silk cloth, with large knot, and high
heels q Ia Louis XIV The visiting toilets
at watering places, or in the country,
generally display much richness in rich
execution; they are made Of tsffsta, for
instance, and mixed with Chambery
esuze, Challie, or grenadine, the latter
material being either white or black.
[ have seen the following costume,
worn by the Baroness de v, which
gave her a very distinguished ap-
pearance: The costume was made of tur-
quoise-blue tafftts, and composed AS fol-
lows A short skirt, ornamented with
three stripes of guipure, ten eentimeters
in width, is covered by black Chambery
gauzs cloak, q Ia WGtteGu, which also
has stripes of guipure, but of less width
than those OF The skirt, and is looped
back at the sides by knots OF gu!pure.
The belt of blue taffeta Is fastened on one
side by knot, a Ia MottsQuetdtre. The
waist worn under the cloak Is of blue
tsffets, cut very low, and bordered by a
small guipure. The straw hat, with high
crown, is held up on one side by q long
blue feather, and the neck-tie, Ia Mont
pensier, is composed OF white guipure.
The turQuoise-hlUe tsffeta parssoi is COW
cred with guipnre lace, aud the black
boots have higA Louis XIV. heels, while
the fan is blue, and ornamented with gui-
pure. Ihave been asked whether long
skirts may make parliers; to which
answer that they may just as well as the !
short ones. At a semi official dinner

similar to those on the shoulders. The |

mention few details which greatly help
