cut in points, forming large wings AT the
sides. and very ample puffngs not quite

embroidery of different kinds is becom-

Toile mcxicaine, It thick silk, rather stiff
and craped, is in favor. Dresses in this
material have o large tiOunce headed with
fantail folds OF pale blue taffetas, and with
several basques The bodice, open en-
chale. with reveres doubled with pale blue
silk. Sleeves half long, with garde fran

ends at the back, and two quite plain and

ends. which are caught back at the side
to meet the back hasques. Others have
the position basque, which is formed OF
one or two hollow plaits, which make it
slightly shorter IN the middle of the back :;
II has usually two points in front, opening
like a Wdistcoat.
4 renewal OF thc fashion of scufs is
spoken of; whether they will he much in
favor we cannot say. They are greatly
remodellcd 10y the arrangement which is
made Of them they are fastened at the
shoulders and front OF the body by bows
OF ribbon, and crossing over III the front,
the ends are caught together about half
way down the skirt at the back, under a
large bow Of ribbon.
We have observed some novelty in the
form OF double iupes They are cut in
three separate parts. The back Is no lon
