Dresses for little ma;dens are still of

ages of two up to n ne and ten; it is
completed by an outdoor wrap OF some
kind on very cold Winter days.
We have seen many lovely, simple
| and lady-like dresses for Young ladies,
one intended for a young lady Just
coming out" our readers may wish to
have described. The so white foun-
dation was embroidered with branches
of celandine and jasmine, the paniers
and hind drapery caught up with trails
of natural jasmine on which were tas-
tened with narrow rose ribbon, two or
three branches of celandine, the whole
trimming, embroidery as well as flow
ers, being perfectly assorted.
A mixture of fine, soft wooden stuff
and surah, satin, lace and silk gave.
the two latter of one color, embroidered
with chenille or silk of different hues,
or color on color, is to be remarked
particularly on soiree. hall, dinner and
reception toilets; and tulle, either self
colorcd or embroidered with chenille, or
silk in one or many tints, all agreeing
with the laces or emhroideries taken for
the ornamentation, is also much favored,
as this material has an extremely charm
ing effect by wax or lamplight.
The Med'cis and high mil tary collars
still fashionable, have made it NJ" essary
to dress the a hair higher and h CHER,
which is not unbecoming to rather fat
heads, but must not be exaggerated,
and with a puff rising from the neck.
Young ladies' also look well with one or
two rolls in front, through which are
put gold chains on cords, finished at
the side with an al rette Of pre- ous
stones, of pearls, or a pretty large
flower. The short hair at the ne,k is
generally waved or culled with curling

dressed to suit the face may be observed
any day by glancing at the dress circles
and boxes of a fashiona' le theatre dress
concert, etc, etc, not to speak of ball
and evening parties. Do we not of en-
see a charming little head and visage
so perfectly disguised by a thick fringe
or frizzing of hair coming down to the
eyebrows, and back locks arranged
with flowers on the top of the pate in
such large putis that the young lady in
question looks to our eyes post vely
ugly? Yet that this is the fash on, far
readers, we know full well. and we are
therefore not surprised at such eNcla-
nations on all sides rs "lsn't her hair

know, etc. We are fenced of course,
but not con, inced, and imagine how
delightful the said sylph would look
with col lure la Chinois and at most
