he
front. The skirt is open, and is ornamented upon the two sides with
streamers of ribbon and _noeuds_ of pearls. The under-skirt of satin
is enriched with an _echelle_ of lace or a triple _falbalas_, the two
extremities of which are disposed so as to join the _noeuds_ upon the
upper dress.

An elegant addition to a lady's toilet has been recently brought out,
which recalls the _mantillas_ worn by the Maltese ladies. It consists of
a kind of pelisse, fulled into the narrow band around the throat, which
is concealed by a small collar, having for ornament a volant or frill of
Chantilly lace. The lower part of the pelisse, as well as the sleeves,
is encircled with four rows of Chantilly lace, surmounted with rows of
narrow velvet or watered ribbons, forming a pretty heading. This little
garment is extremely elegant for places of amusement, made in pink,
blue, or white satin, and trimmed with Brussels or English point lace.

Fringes and Cambray lace will be much used this season in the decoration
of dresses. Feathers will be much worn, some in _touffes_, and others
simply the long single feather, passing over the entire front of the
bonnet.
