M0ntalots.

Mantalets.
The pretty mantalet has been revived,
and achieved at once the popularity (which +
enjoyed twenty-five years ago; when, -
black silk, in lace, and In muslin, It reigne4
supreme. 1t has commenced now as II did
then, in small, subdued, and motherly fash
ion, rounded, yet not deep in the back, and
with talma fronts, and by and by It may
take on the myriad forms which the manta-
lets of that day assumed. In silk or sfsili-
enne, trimmed with fringe, It 10 very hand
some, and useful for variety Of purposes;
but for summer wear a graceful form is cut
In net, and trimmed with alternate rows OF
lace and network braid, or passmenterie,
which sometimes form heading to fringe
Mantslets of cream lace, with double bor-
der are very pretty. "
Very large walls Of light thin gauze or
tulle have taken the place Of the
small mask walls that have held place 20
long, and are extremely becoming to tho
face. This change 10 good from sanitary
point Of view; nothing could be more dis.
distressing or hurtful to the eyes than those
small, straight irritating pieces Of black
spotted lace, which infamed the eys-lds,
excited the action of the nerves ofthe eyes,
and made the skin look if it was just recov-
ering from an attack of smallpox. The
masked walls are fortunately impossible
with the present style of hats; hence the
the change, which proves most agreeable aS
well as becoming.
Anew Design I'm Oversktrts.
We particularly noticed one which was
very irregular. It falls in deep point at
the right side, the front is in very broad
plaits laid diagonally, and the back is loop
ed so as to be modestly bowfant, and slight
ly shorter than at the other parts. The
design is especially suited to silk and other
dressy materials, and may be trimmed in
any manner to correspond with the goods
used. The effect of this design in rich ma
terials is extremely fine, and it is equally
we'll adapted to q handsome silk or grcna-
dine for the house, or summer camePs hair
for the street or travelling purposes. Nor,
although so stylish, is a large amount OF
material necessary-six yards are all that y
| required, and four yards and half Of
| fringe. A handsome basque is worn with
this, only requiring three yards and three
quarters of goods to make it,; the neck ID
cut square, which may be of plaitedtulle,
or of soft damasse silk, or Of the silk
which is put with the goods to compose the
dress, whatever that may be. 1t should
also compose the folds which assist to form
| the cuff. f
OF sacques and jackets there are three
models, one the eliza, intended specially
as dressing sacque, and made in white
percale, dimity, striped jaconet, lawn, or
any other material preferred, and trimmed
with slightly gathered ruffle Of needle
work. The "Madeleine" eacque can be
used for dress at4ome or abroad, it Is 80
neat, yet so convenient. II is longer and
closer fitting than the 'Liza," aud very
suitable for a morning sacquc at home In
the country. Less than four yards Of print,
or cambric, or cashmere, will make it.
A more dressy style, in fact regular
jacket, with jaunty vest and the stylish
plating at the back, surmounted by sash
bow and ends, is the ''Mildred." This de-
sign would be pretty for travelling dress,
with or without the plating, and will be
fashionable in the Fall.
The pretty sleeve is the "Christine," 90
simple that it may be adapted to any dress,
yet so graceful that it is sufficient for tho
| Ihandsomest.
This season there are many designs for
wearing the hair, and we will give few of
the many furnished us. In one we noticed
the hair brought up high, rolled loosely In
waves and curls, and fastened by some Or
nament for evening, this Is indeed stylish.
Some is parted on the left side, and has long
pufs coming down moderately low at the
back, and finished with roll in front.
For young ladies this will be regarded as
la very graceful mode of arranging the
coifurs: the front disposed in loose puffs,
finished with curls falling on the neck, to
which ribbon bow is coquettishly added.
The hair drawn back in front, arranged
with loose puhs at the back, and long
"Catogan" braid, this being also finished
by a ''French she'll" comb in the centre.
This is also very fashionable
Another style displays crimping In front
combined with fnger-putis, which ut pres
ent are in favor, affording, as they do,
convenient finish to many different styles Of
arranging the hair.
The low coil at the back of the head is
still much worn, but some ladies nowtprefer
the chatelaine braid, which, discarded for
time, reappears in coiffures for full-dress
occasions, these simple ways of arranging
the hair are very popular, but nevertheless
we see some elaborate methods in which
fnger-puffs, coils, braids, and long curls
although simplicity is the prevailing idea,
yet almost anything which is becoming may
be regarded as fashionable. Trizzes are
really so effective that they are just % pop
ular and as much worn ss ever, and We
have indeed become 90 accustomed to the
softening effect which they give to many
faces that one cannOt we'll see how they can
be relinquishcd.
