BONNETS

new shapes, indeed it is quite diff
cult task to torture anything new il
the way of shape out of the little moi

lone, however, which is entirely new
but do not think it will be favorit,
as it is not very wei adapted to the
present mode of wearing the hair
The brim is pointed something in styl'
of the Marie Stuart, but is raised from
instead of depressed to the forehead
and followed ont on the sides. It il
quaint but not becoming. A bonnet o

white silk, trimmed with fall of white
lace and pink satin ribbon, on the side

and inside the brim q quilting of mar.
row pink satin ribbon with pearl edge,
was exhibited to me as novelty which
would take well because it was so re-
freshingly new. l was much amused a
few days since at q fragment of con-
versation that I overheard between
two ladies, Mrs. F. and Mrs. G.. in
front of Canal street Modiste's.
"Oh! don't mean exactly to save
the money" said Mrs. F. "but can
not have both, I must do with either
the one or the other"
"Well, I'd have the bonnet ~ replied
Mrs. F. "for think it much better to
wear this bonnet, which still looks
fresh, for a month or two, and invest
the ten dollars in ticket in the Real
Estate Lottery of Mr.. O. e. Hall, who
knows but l may draw the st. Louis

My lady friends will feel interested |
in these articles, for the benefit Of their
husbands and sweet-hearts, and as 1
have had the advantage of looking
over the superb stock Of Captain B. T. |
Walslle, No. ITO Canal street, can
speak by the card. Captain Walshe
has just returned from q visit to the
North, and has brought back with him
all that was new and elegant in style
and material.
I know a shirt with perfectly plain
bosom is something that once, we new
81 dreamed of as stylish but it is now
one of the very fashionable bosoms
worn by connoisseurs and is most re-
'herche and becoming. It is simply a
. double piece Of linen, without even a
row of cord or stitching and is always
worn with studs-the wristbands are
square and plain to match. For those
Who prefer "tucks and plenty of them"
We will say that they too are worn
lmong the last received, noticed our
BOSOM with sixty-two minute plaits,
'un in by the hand, and from this down
o broad hem and one large plait. I
vas particularly pleased with one
hirt, with bosom Of fine nainsook
line plaits on each side. These plaits
N each side. These plaits are not
run" in but merely fastened top and
'ottom, which arrangement will permit ,
f the bosom being ironed like puff if !
Q desired-with this shirt the Alfred ]

aides will find at Captain Blaney ,
Washes all stylesof shirts, neck wear I
entlemen's furnishing goods, and boys 2
nd youths, clothing in great variety, !
7hich the captain and his gentlemanly q
Jerks viii take pleasure in showing.
