lie Toilet says that if the weather of
March ut all resembles that of February,
those ladies who desire to dress in accord
ance with the temperature and brightness
of the day will every now and then make
their appearance in light silks and foulards,
with tulc and Grape bonncts, while on other
occasions they VII be comfortably wrap
ped in velvet and furs.
There is no doubt that the dresses intend
cd merely for walking will he made with
rastcrrc skirts, while those meant to serve
the double purpose Of outdoor and house
toilettcs will be slightly trained, and raised
in the manner We have previously de-
scribCd.
The gray woollen or mixed materials
Just coming so rapidly into favor. will make
most appropriate and comfortable costumes
for outdoor morning wear
Simplicity in outdoor drc.s is slil the rule.
and we see plain wo,lcn materials and vel
yetccns totally devoid of ornaments ad p
ted for morning walking costumes by the
richest of our elcgantcs.
The dresses sometimes seen with a vari-
ciy ot homogeneous trim Innings -bouillonncs
ruchcs, bows, buckles. sashes-all thrown
together in a hctcropcnou confusion. are
either made by countr y drcssmalcrs, who,
having heard that each style is in fashion,
illogicaly conclude that all must therefore
be fashionable TO wear together; or, if made
by really efficient modiste, it has been to
crafty the caprice of some customer with
more means than taste.
The colorS in vogue are much the same
perhaps shade lighter as those worn last
month. No very bright ,ints will be worn
this season out of doors; when light colors
are used they will be OF the rather cllaces
shades, 50 much more ladylikc for wear in
public The only exceptions to this rule
countcnanccd by the real leaders of fashion
will be in the trimmings to black dresses.
Nantes, polonaiscs and casaqucs of all
kinds. made in the same material as the
dress, will be the rcigning style for outdoor
wear.
For afternoon outdoor wear, the unique

tons 1t is admirably contrived, not only
to improve the figure, but display the trim
mings of the skirt
The "Princesse' polonaisy we have just
mentioned will be fastened on the cross,
with double row of buttons-unquestion
ably the most becoming style, for the figure
that has ever been introduced.
Dung ladies and those with small waists

which will certainly be worn this season.
/ They will be of ribbed silk or satin princi-
paly. The leather and metal arrange
ments of this kind are entirely confincd to
indoor dishabile morning wear.
Double or single breasted rcvers will be
in as great favor rs ever.
The sleeves Of outdoor dresses are al
ways coat shape, with cuffs or parements
of some sort of indoor wear. There is n
much greater latitude both in form and
trimming.
What is called English embroidery that
is, the material employed cut in holes and
sewn round-will also be extensively used,
and is excessively good style if worked on
black silk.
Embroidered Indian muslin will be the
rage of the season; and those ladies who
possess articles of this kind, perhaps APP
pertaining originally to their grandmamas,
will he the envy of their less fortunate
friends
The bonnets of this season are infinitely
more elegant and becoming than they have
been of late, those with loose crowns cs-
