TuR fashions.

Inst in the middle of August, when
one would imagine that the weary god
dess Fashion, would, if ever, rest from
her iabors, there are evidences that she
ia not asleep, even in the drowsy sum.
mcr. Novelties beautiful and season
able are making their appearance, and
even at this late day we have another
material imported, called Panama fibre,
somewhat resembling yellow Holland
linen and better. These goods trim
med with blue, coral color, or q decided
maize, are among the latest goods ex-
hibited; but being late, they will do
for another summer. So ~, sr..
Some of the India ,muslins have the
rufies doubly bound with narrowest
black velvet, which, as trimming,
bids fair to return to us in the fall with
all its old popularity.
re- Foulard silks are in great demand.
The twilled ones make excellent dresses
for children, and will wash as well as
piques or linen. .1Ef..
The Algerian fonlards make very pref.
ty dresses, with plain high dress Of
gaily stripped Algerian, and blue or
green ecru tunic dress, with low bodice
worn over it.
Printed foulards look, well while they
are new, but they soon degenerate, and
are apt at first wear to lose their color.
Unbleached foulard makes the most
stylish of dresses, with loosely lifting
Pempadour basque, trimmed with
quilted ribbon of shade trifie darker
than the material.
Centuries with long ends are still
fashionable; but the newest style for
young ladies is the broad ribbon, folded
round the waist and the ends merely
linked loosely together at the back OF
the waist.
For the garden parties, and other
elegant outdoor amusements of frequent
occurrence at the present season, no
dresses are more general than those OF
white muslin over slips of colored silk.
Pink, amber and lilac are the favorite
colors for slips. These dresses, orna-
mented with the numerous ruches and
bows of ribbon now fashionable, have
very snowy effect.
The chemise-russe still retains favor,
especially with young ladies, to whom
it is extremely becoming. For example,
a very pretty dress for o young lady
may be composed of chemise.r russo of
Turquoise blue foulard, with skirt of
black tsffety or of gray percale, and
embroidered with white soutache.
As an evening or ball dress for o.
young lady we knew of nothing pref
tier than a robe of white organdie, en-
broidered in colored wool in wreaths of
flowers, running lohgitudinally. Those
organdies are to be had in all patterns
and in every variety of color; and they
require no trimming, beyond, perhaps a
single flouBce, scolloped at the edges,
and worked in wool in colors CORES
pending with the flowers. The corsage
of dress of this kind should be square,
and trimmed with narrow ruches of
colored taffety; ceinture of taffety to
correspond. Robes of white organdie,
embroidered with white cotton in the
same style as those described are very
pretty over colored slips.
A round hat of Italian straw, trimmed
very plainly, or Donna Maria, which
has a gauze veil wrapped about the
crewn, is the popular hat for travelling.
Fanchons of Italian straw are trimmed
with narrow black velvet and ruches of
black lace, with a cluster of Marguerites
or peoples and wheat.
The bridal travelling hat in this age Of
good taste is palmer than any other.
We remember when the Dunstable bon
net, trimmed with white ribbon, marked
the jourDeying bride as plainly as if she
had worn her marriage certificate pinned
on her shoulder.
Ameng other pretty round hats in
tended for the season Bergere of white
chip is trimmed with pink roses and
black lace, and a rice straw, with long
scarf of maize colored gauze, fastened
with a brilliant bird.
Feathers and flowers may be seen upon
the same hat this season, and ladies who
call themselves ladies of taste wear
them.
For young ladies the most becoming
style of arranging tho hair is in plaits,
mingled with curls; that is to say,
merely a few curls at the chignon, en-.
circled by plaits. A band of ribbon is
frequently sntwined among the plaits
and fastened in small bow at one side.
