FOR THE LADIES.

Evening shades of Ardoise blue,
oxvdised silver, sea-green, etc, are
adorned with lace and soft ruchings.
In shapes, nearly all the dresses
have pointed fronts, and square pos
t;llion basqnes at the back, when the
BASQUE itself is not deepened to form
the upper skirt.
Suits are still worn the same as
before. and the entire dress must COR
respond ia color. The only excep-
tions to this rule are when the sack
is black-either black velvet or somo
heavy cloth-or when n tunic Of
bright-colored cashmere is worn over
dark or black silk skirt.
Among Tie preitiest shapes of
round hats is one similar to a lady's
riding hat, with crown considera-
bly, lower. Trimmed with rouleaus
of faille and velvet on the crown,
and handsome feathers added, this is
a beautiful hat, and moro oi q hat
than most of the Autumn shapes.
Some dresses Of black are trimmed
with white, which is one of the fcS-
lures of the season. Pnfls are added
to rufies, and the richest fringes and
passementeries added. Tho cash
mere suits of black, plumcolor, and
golden sand, are either embroid-
cred by hand or trimmed with frin-
ges and passementeries-no velvet.
We hear of new fabric that may
be worn and turned, and worn aud
turned again, called the mitraillcuse;
then there i' the VendeaL hat, the
Bazaine beaver, and Our Iritz--a
novelty in gentlamen's erayats. The
emigre bonnet ie a pretty, modest
thing, quite close to the face, and
not unsorrowful in look 1t is one
of Eugenio's half-aournful sugges-
tions.
A rich dress OF Carmelite gray has
narrow frills set on in waves, with
large bows OF silk and satin placed
at intervals. Tie upper skirt is
long and boGitant, and is trimmed
with bias band q: the silk. piped,
and beautiful fringe of silk and
chenille alternating. Among black
costumes, blue-black bears prefer
ence to the solid black, and these are
adorned with fringe and velvet.
Among the novelties of the season
is handsome, half-ftting Polonaise
OF black velvet, trimmed with rich
lace, headed by a passementerie.
The pagoda sleeves are lined with
satin, and are intended 70 be worn
with quilting Of lace around the
inside. Another casaque, for an ell
d.erly lady, bas looser shape, and is |
ineu throughout with satin, and !
Dordered with lace, headed by feather
trimming. In street suits, n dress |
OF satin de chine is made of two |

OF the new shades of invisible green
Is trimmed with quillings Of faille Of |
a darker shade.
The noticeable features of the flow
ers most lately imported are that
they are copies of the largest aud /
most snowy flowers put forth by
nature. Carnations, camelias and |
roses are the favorites. There are |
but few buds. and fewer leaves. the
