3 VI SOCIETY.
Although the weather is still very warm
we already see in some of our naaqusins al
'aouvedutes some materials that are quit.
autumnal-looking- They are prepared fol
seaside costumes and mantles.
Seaside breezcs are always cool, not e
say cold, as soon as September comes, ant
1allladies should be provided with warn
mantle and hood, before starting for any
sea bathing place. I
There Is soft, ribbed, plushy material
the effect of which is very good in French
golden brown. The ribs are aIternately
darker and lighter thus forming stripes
Circulars are made of this material, witt
very wide open sleeves, pointed off at tht
bottom.
Other models are of white cashmere
trimmed with red hraid. and Thibet, fringe
or Embroidered with black soutache and
waved braid; others, again, are OF red cash.

lace.

made of light gray woUien material, edged
with gray silk braid and narrow crimped
fringe; another Is white, and richly en-

1t is also edged with fringe.
4 n In general the circular with sleeves has
taken the place of the loose paletot; it has
very frequently a hood when not made
with three or four capes placed one above
the other Mantelets of various shapes are
fa1so made Of cashmere, and various other
wOolen materials, for the seaside. One OF
the most in vogue is a circular with round
hood fastened with large rosettes, and
square or rounded lappetsg falling loose in
front. For young ladies these mantelets
are very pretty 10 white; they are trimmed
with stitched roueaux OF cerise, or blue, or
violet silk the rOse:tes are formed of q strip
Of white cashmere, bound with colored silk,

F; Other mantelets, of very nearly the same
shape, have no hood, but are slightly gath
cred up in the middle of the back, under a
large bow and lapels. They are edged
| round with a deep knotted fringe, with a
network heading.
The present fashion enables ladies who
fand appear in variety of costumes, with
out incurring very great expense.
/. To go to the seaside, three or four COM
plete costumes. with q larger number Of
skirts and ssashes, are necessary.
! 1t is indispensable to have one complete
black and one complete white costume; il
you add to these a costume of unbleached
5tonlard, and one of sultane, or any other
fancy material, you can manage very well
TOR the season.
An excursion costume consists of an un-
ler-skirt of crimson and black striped fancy
goolen material, and of a dress of black
silk. looped up over it, a Ia Marie Antoinette,
1t the back. The bodice OF the black dress
'svery low, and cut square. 1t is trimmed
all round the top with q gim ped -out ruche
Fheresis a high chemisette of red cashmere
inside. Black velvet ribboneHa and white
frilling round the top. Long tight sleeves
showing at tue wrists. SStrawfoquet, with
out any Drim, ornamented with a large
rosette of red ribbon, gauze vail.
Another rxisyV composed. of crimson and
maize-shot Yalencias dress. First skirt,
trimmed with five oss-strips-second
skirt, looped up at the back with a very
large bow, fastened with long, jet buckle.
High bodice, and tight sleeves, with cross \
strips. The second skirt being very Short
and open at the back, forms a sort of double
square basque; in front it Is quite plain
Toquet of white straw, trimmed with a.
scart-ot crimson Ssilk.sH NnAU 1
! Water-proof tweed, already imported
last year from England to Paris, is now
largely used, not only for cloaks, but for
They are made much in the same way as
other short costumes, and trimmed with
great simplicity.
Scalloped out or vandyke trimmings, are
rather gone out of fashion, and fluting are
preferred, they are put on with braid or a.
cross-string of silk. The skirt is looped
up with bows of black gros grain ribbon. 4
For swaterproof costumes, a bose pale
tot, with large pockets trimmed with black
silk, take the place of the fichu or mantelet
of other costumes.
Care should be taken not to cut the pock-
cts on the cross, because IL thus cut, they
soon cause the material to form ugly folds,
IT anything is put into them.
To this costume is frequently added an
GitDsoniereI f.black or Russia leather, with a
belt of the same. This forms a. very con-
venient little travelling case, which is safely
shut with lock and key.
The most suitable hat with this costume,
is like 10, water proof; itiisa black straw
hat, of round shape, trimmed on the top
with large bow of vanished oil-cloth.-]
To this, somewhat, singular ornament,
which is, however, more elegant than might
be supposed, is sometimes added wood
cock, or falcop,s feather, thrown bach, like
the Scottish Saigrette.s '1k 2 ? = "A \ Al
The fiat. round hat, without any brim, Is
more comfortable than it LOOKS. it fits ex-
actly on the top of thehead, aud is fastened

Such is the travelling hat, as for the, fam
cy chdpedu, it is much more coquettish, and
of most varied shapes. 1t would be diff
cult to say which model is preferred by
fashion. Each lady can choose her hat or
bonnet according to her taste, her looks
aud age. -
A Partisan elegante carries away with her
to the sea toquets by the dozen she wishes
to have them alIof different shapes, for the
pleasure of changing them every day; the
newest models are the tric0rRe and the high
crowned hat, called valois.
"A pretty tricorne of gray fancy straw is
turned up with gray velvet of the same
shade; there is bow of gray velvet, ex-
actly on the Gopof the head, and a bunch
of frizzled gray feathers which covers the
straw almost entirely :; in front, one large
flower or tiny bird is placed as an
aigrette. F.gA lid
Sometimes creeping flowers, such as con-
volvulus, clematis or hedge rose, are placed
in bunch5in the center of the hat, and
from thence wind round the center of hat,
and from thence Wind round the feather,
and mix, in trailing branches with the curl
