SAINT material. covered with slightly
gathered lace border. Nothing is more CO.
quettish for wearing in a carriage than q
parasol of this kind, of the same color as
the dress.
But If there is varied choice of very
pretty silk tissues, the same can be said Of
fancy materials in wool, or wool and silk.
In fact, the most effective patterns of silk
materials are identically reproduced upon
fancy tissues, and that with so much art,
that some woolen fabrics-we speak, of
course, of those of good quality-make up
dresses almost as elegant as silk ones. The
ribbed, brocaded, and chined materials,
sultana, glace, mohairs, and leno, are of
charming tints and worthy to rival the rich
est silks. The style of material called pc
trim, Is striped; the stripes are not always
disposed lengthwise, some are sianting,
and some form zigzags. All these are very
pretty, and are quite as suitable as sell
colored tissues for composing complete
costumes.
Since we mention these. we may as well
describe some which it will be easy for la
dies to have made up at home; they are of
tqfetds delaine. pretty sort OF fancy wool
en- material, in different shades of steel
gray, felt, buff, copper or leather color, or
namented with patterns in satin stitch en-
broidery and crochet work of the same
tint. These costumes are composed of the
embroidered skirt, with the Russian cas-
aque. Marie Antoinette fichu. Paletot or
mantalet. The complete suit may be had
ready to make up, with all the trimmings
worked, and cost in Paris from 100 to 100
francs.
The new gdzes de Chambe1y, entirely white,
with satin stripes. or white and Suttercup-
colored, are exquisitely lovely; those with
a white ground and fine colored stripes, or
in the petrin style with satin stripes, zig
gags, coiored brocaded patterns, and the
grenadines with colored designs in satin
upon white ground, or with sprinkling
of gold spots upon white or black ground
are. among clear fabrics, the most beautiful
that can be chosen for elegant summer toi-
lets. ... .-. ....,--.--
In simple style. white-cotton grena-
dimes, with small patterns printed in black
or colors, will make up very neat and
pretty morning dresses.
AT SIMMONS HEADQUARTERS,
We find an extraordinary large stock of
fashionable millinery for the West, and the
extent of this trade may be guessed when
we say that this is the second stock of the
kind this spring.
The fashionable bonnets of this summer
season are, it must be confessed, truly
graceful and elegant; the latest models are
Louis XIV. puff-bonnets. of white or color
ed tulle and blonde, trimmed with flowers,
light marabout feathers, or gold and steel
ornaments; very often there is pretty
aigrette at the side, and a lace or blonde
voilette falls at the back. Other bonnets
resemble Spanish coiffures, with lace man
tillas falling over the neck and shoulders,
and fastened in front under a brooch or
flower. Some Fanchons, of new Diadem
shape, are also extremely pretty and be-
coming. All these bOnnets are invariably
made with view to be placed over high
and very large chignon; for no sign of
change in the coiffure has as yet appeared,
and our eyes are becoming so accustomed
to the enormous appendage that renders a
lady's head double its real size, that any
person so far daring to put the DEGREES of
fashion at defiance as to appear with no
addition to her natural head of hair, would
certainly appear quite strange; at any rate
no modern style of bonnet or coiffure could
possibly fit upon her cheueltre,
The prettiest chignons are those formed
entirely of long frizzled curls.- But as this
style is rather troublesome to wear always,
it is generally reserved for the evening,
while plated or smooth-combed chignOn
is worn during the day.
Satin is employed in preference to silk
for trimming even straw bonnets, and the
bright shade of yellow, called buttercup
color, is still more fashionable, it seems, for
bOnnetS than for dresses. Straw bOnnets
are also frequently trimmed with sultan
red, while softer colors, such as pale maize,
mauve, light green, or rose-colOr, are pre-
ferred for tulle ones.
We add the description of few of the
newest and most elegant models:
A Diadem Fanchon of white plated tulle;
ruche of blonde fastens down a pretty
blonde voilette which falls at the back in
