reign Of the last four or t3-e kings Of France
i~:ternz"s with the fashion o. the First Re
p',hlic. OF the Directore, of the Consulate, and
of The two Empires. The course of history
is the course Of fashions, hui TO understand the
latter no Alteration should be paid to the
chronoinrical order Of dates. The toilettes for
children only seen III Z very definite style
which is at the same time sensible, conven-
!
ent is worn BY all children, by little girls to
the age of eleven years, and little boys up
| the age OF six years. The English dress is all
| in one piece, loose-tit ing, and the trimming
| frequently stimulates s wrap Of the same
material worn over the dress. Thus attired,
the little body urcoutinci moves at ease and
develops to the benefit Of health. Both in
| the summer and winter children in Paris wear
| the English dress. In summer their couture
| is generally composed of shrred hat OF
white linen, which may be taken apart and
| washed as easily as handkerchief.

BILE road ofa vision of power, already in

time recognizes the short costume and long
| dress just rs there are toilettes for the
morning aud for the evening, there will also
be lingerie plain and simple for short cos
TUNES, and rich aud ornamental for afternoon
! toilettcs. We have returned to richly en-
| broidered collars and it is even announced

| neck without being turned down, just as
| they were worn twenty or thirty years ago.
| The sleeves, tight at the wrist, are ALWAYS
completed by fiat cuffs worn over the sleeves
Embroidered handkerchiefs, SO long abandon
ed, have again become the fashion, and some
are made which are admirable in design and
execution. For morning wear fashion die
tates that the collar, cravat, cuts, and hand
kerchief should be trimmed with the same
embroidery, all white, OR sometimes mixed
| with colored cotton.
