the other styles put together.
WHAT next? A nest of little gray
mice. with shiny, ife-like eyes of jet,
was lately seen upon a Quaker gray
plush bonnet worn in Paris.

yellow shading into scarlet or crimson,

A NEW mode for bridal dresses has
been inaugurated by Mile. de Pourtales
( at her recent religious marriage in Paris.
It is to trim the wedding robe with mar
l about feathers. A long neck appears
,, quite fawn-Ike when surrounded by a
!, marabout collar, which in the case of
; Mile. de Portales was continued down
. the front and round the skirt and train,
where it widened out to the depth of a
foot. The effect was admirable. It was
light, pure aud extremely picturesque.
The bride, who has slender, swaying
figure, appeared at distance an eth
ereal being arising like Venus from a
mass of sea foam. But none but the
daughters of millionaires can afford to
wear at their bridals dresses copied after
the goddess of CVprus.
