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. It is
made very deep; trimmed with velvet. Satins are made in the same form,
of a dark color, the interior of the fronts lined with white, rose, or
any other fresh color. 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. This style is very elegant, and particularly adapted for very
young ladies, especially when trimmed with a deep fall of rich lace.
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
