eedingly full; five volants are set on full, each being trimmed at a little distance from the edge by a narrow _guimpe_. _Manteau_ of light brown cashmere, trimmed with velvet of the same color; closed up in front by four large _brandebourgs_. Bonnet of a very open form, trimmed entirely with plaid ribbon. [Illustration: FIG. 3.--BONNET.] The MORNING COSTUME is a _jupe_ of blue silk, very long and full, trimmed down the front with rows of velvet and small silk tassels, the form of an acorn. A _cain de feu_, a sort of jacket, of blue satin, of a darker shade than the _jupe_, the small skirt of which is of the Hungarian form. It is trimmed round with velvet and has tassels up the front to correspond with the skirt; the sleeves come but little below the elbow, wide at the bottom, and cut like the skirt. These are likewise trimmed with velvet. Cap of black lace, trimmed with a broad white ribbon, edged with pink. FIGURE 3 shows a new style of plain velvet bonnet, of rich green.

These are ornamented with branches of flowers of velvet, or _noeuds_ of plaid ribbon, half velvet and half satin, the colors harmonizing with the bonnet. There are small bonnets of white or pink plush, having for their sole ornament a single bow of satin ribbon, or a ribbon _velonte_ at the sides.

Those made of pink satin, and trimmed with blonde, forming a bunch upon the side of the exterior, the interior being filled entirely with rows of narrow blonde, are exceedingly graceful. A new style of fringe for ball dresses has lately been introduced. It is extremely light, and composed of a mixture of white and gold, which forms a splendid trimming when placed upon a triple skirt of white _tulle_. It is also made of pink and silver, which has a beautiful effect upon a dress of pink crape; splendid bouquets of beautiful flowers being arranged so as to loop up the skirts on either side. A new and greatly admired style for EVENING DRESSES, called _d'Adrienne_, has lately been brought out in Paris. It is made of the richest materials. The corsage is extremely low, and forms a very deep point, its ornaments being placed _en coeur_ upon the centre of t
