gauze ribbons and blonde. Brocaded satin ribbon is now used as being seasonable for those prepared for October, while the lighter bonnets of the kind are used for concert or spectacle costume. For walking bonnets, pale lilac capotes, lined with straw colour, and trimmed with straw-coloured gauze ribbons, are fashionable. These are drawn in about two rows, and are larger than the bibis ; and, made with a barolet, or curtain, the brim comes almost horizontally over the face. These capotes shield the complexion from the sun; hitherto, the complexion has been almost forgotten by our belles in their zeal for little bonnets.

MORNING DRESS.-Plain jaconet and coloured ginghams are usually worn of a morning, but set off with many pretty little auxiliaries, which make the athome toilette charming with a lady that studies this most attractive species of dress. Delicately embroidered manchettes, worked moire, or chalis aprons of the prettiest patterns, and openwork mittens, which show, yet effectually guard the hand, render a pretty woman the most charming ornament of her own boudoir. A new fancy cravat has been adopted in September, which is to lengthen the ends of the black or cinnamon-coloured cravat, and confine them on the corsage under a jet broach.

CAPS.-Many of these are in the form of a round hat, a good deal raised from the face; some very new and pretty white crape or organdi, surrounded with a bordering at the edge of open work, like a wreath of little wheels, both within and without the hat, is ornamented by wreathes and bouquets of white roses made of organdi. The leaves the same, of gathered pieces, and the veining transparent. These transparent fancy flowers are much worn in caps. Morning caps are composed in fronts of a butterfly bow of lace worked, and separated in the centre by an upright esprit, or sheaf of cut ribbons; this has a pretty effect. The same sort of trimming is placed a little behind the borders of lace, and little esprits, each cut tastefully out of ends of gauze ribbon, are put in

various directions. Application of Brussels or Honiton sprigs, on English net, is the material at present in vogue.

PELERINES AND CHEMISETTES are all made of the above application of sprigs, in rather large detached bouquets, but arranged so as to form a regular pattern round the throat beneath the little collars, which are raised by a ficher cravat of China crape, or an embroidered collar cravat of gros de Naples or chali. The cape of the pelerines are festooned or scolloped round the bust, and always finished by ends, that cross just beneath the belt. With robing pelisses and tunics, chemisette are more worn than pelerines, and they finish at the throat with a ruche instead of a collar.

WA ALKING DRESS.-A few weeks since all the bulletins of the mode agreed, that, if you cast your eyes over the fashionable groups in the favourite promenades, out of ten ladies, you were sure to see eight dressed in white; a change is at present effected, and tunic pelisses or robes, cut high to the neck, finished by fallen collar of small size, the whole of plain gros de Naples; or in fuller costume of coloured moire, have superseded white dresses; yet, where the pelisses are tunics, or open before and robing back into epaulette capes, the white dress is seen beneath, appearing en chemisette at the throat. The rule is, that the tunic pelisse is worn to fly open at the skirt, and is open at the bust, wrapping to the side and displaying the chemisette; while the whole pelisse, made to the throat, is always close to the feet; these are equally fashionable, but the first is more devoted to carriage dress, while the latter is worn in walking morning dress. The whole pelisses are made as robes; but the robing turns back on the dress, with dents of various shapes-some of the ogive or trefoil scollop-some diamondshaped dents parted by a circle; but the most elegant, the plain vandyke. These whole pelisses promise to be general in the winter; the robing of the skirt is broad at the feet, and narrow at the belt; the fashion has been universal since the publication of the La Follet,

for September. A very charming toute ensemble has been prepared for October, as follows:-"Ruche bibis of brocaded satin ribbon, lilac and verditer green equally faced, trimmed with three lace ruches; and a ruche within as a mentonierre. Whole pelisse of pale verditer green, watered or moire silk, a little collar, lapel robings; on the chest, robings, en tablier, on the skirt, fastened down in front with small knots of ribbon; no epaulettes, but the plaits of the sleeves confined, at a distance, with a little band, and fastened with a sinall bow on the top of the shoulder, the whole of the robings edged with dents. Very little variation in the sleeves of walking dresses. Pomme vert chamois, sea-green, verditer green, and pale lavender, are the colours in which the gros de Naples, and moire October walking dresses, are to be composed.

EVENING DRESS.-Very full dress is seldom seen at this season, Organdi dresses, embroidered in cachemere wool, are most admired. English net, or tulle de fil, which is much the same, worked in lambs'-wool, is a new fashion, that promises to be generally worn as autumnal evening dress; these are worked in sprigs of two opposite colours, as pink and brown, lilac and green, or blue and purple. Breast knots (that ancient fashion of our grandmothers) are universal, although natural flowers often supply the place. Sleeveknots, with long worked ends of the same material as the dress, are pinned on the front of the full berret sleeves, and somewhat gracefully break the round shape; but the sleeve-knots, with long ends, are no longer worn, at Paris, on the top of the shoulder, but in the middle of the sleeve. When evening dresses are embroidered, the breast bow, and sleeve-knots, and lappets, are worked to correspond, and edged round with scollops of the brightest colour of the dress. A mixture of bows, braids, and curls are arranged very tastefully in the coiffure; loops of braids are often seen, and the back hair is sometimes dressed very high to the right side of the head, while the left temple is ornamented very full with curls and braided loops.

Esprits, cut in ribbon and ribbon loops, are again very prevalent in evening dress, for the hair. As to ornaments, necklaces and bracelets of cut jet, long worn in Paris, are perfectly the rage; they are worn with pink moire evening robes, and are becoming to a creamcoloured skin, set off by dark eyes and hair. This parure is, likewise, beautiful, with buff or chamois crape over satin of the same colour. Silver chains and bracelets are often seen; but the most delicate workmanship is required in these ornaments-any thing whole and massive is too apt to remind the beholder of plaited furniture and harness. Pearls embroidered on black velvet, for bracelets, armlets, and throat-bands, are very elegant. Plain shell-combs, of a moderate height, are again worn-sometimes bows and braids are brought over the gallery of these combs. Where full evening dress is re. quired, application of Honiton sprigs, on fine thread net, is usual, over white satin or watered silk of mauve, primrose, or pale apple green. When the under dress is in colours, tunic transparent robes are worn in preference to whole dresses, then they are bordered and scolloped, and a wreath of sprigs within; but the whole dresses are finished at the ham with a magnificent wreath of lace foliage of the Brussels or Honiton point, laid on while the ground of the dress is plain; the sleeves are in bias wreaths of the same. Sleeves, in evening dress, are seldom tight to the lower arm; but cut in the various forms of imbecile gigot, Amadis and Venetian.

COLOURS.-Whole colours are again seen in moire and gros de Naples. Apple green (pomone vert.), sea-green, and verditer green, are almost universal. Chamois and cinnamon are likewise much worn. Many new colours will be named under the fanciful titles of Dahlia, Silene, Opale. These are all modified and paler shades of violet, maroon, and apple-green.
