be worn. Slippers are to snperecde boots, and quilted hoods are to take the place of the small bonnet, or at least so it is whispered. Plain satin, which has been so little worn for several years, is again becoming fashionable. The round corsage, to be worn with a broad sash, or belt and buckle,
similar folds extend over the crown, and are formed into
knots on the left side, while the right is adorned by black ostrich plumes. The face trimming consists of a full cap of blends, intermingled with a wreath of stock-gillitlowers. Flo. vn.—-A Boast-21', also from Wilde's, of maroon—color velvet laid on the foundation plain: the left side of the front is enriched by a wide plaiting of the velvet placed on the extreme edge, and terminated on the right side in loops, and
is decidedly the most fashionable for ordinary dress, though
the corsage pointed back and front is the most elegant for a superior style of costume. For ordinary Wear the close sleeve, fastened at the wrist. is popular, but a rather short, open sleeve, displaying the lace under-sleeve, is more “dressy.” Waznas, which have been prepared for the winter balls, comprise some mounted in the circular form with pendent sprays. Others have very full tufts or bouquets of flowers
ends of black thread lace, drooping among clusters of rich
.marabout feathers of the same color as the velvet. The inside is adorned with blonde, interspersed with blue and

A few wreaths have either on the right or on
the left side,' single flower, or a small tuft of flowers dif fering from those which compose the wreath. For instance, we have seen a large rose placed on the left side of a wreath
maroon velvet flowers, and bows of black lace.

A graceful and pretty design, composed of black and gay colored plaid ribbon, formed into a succession of loops on the left side, terminating in two long streamers, and sur mounted by a scarlet ostrich plume. The decorations on the right side consist of scarlet velvet flowers, black lace, and clusters of black jet fruit, mingled with drooping pen dents of the same color.

One of the prettiest wraps for the opera or evening party that can be worn this winter, is a shawl of scarlet French
merino. having on its lower half two rows of broad Maltese lace, headed by a broad black velvet. Some sclarlet cloaks am also being worn ont-of-doors by very young ladies. and it is probable that the color in this style will become general for walking costume. One of the prettiest evening dresses for a young lady is of white spotted muslin made with a full front. having a
fringe. which is extensively worn this season, by those who
can afford to be luxurious. The shape is distinguished by its graceful simplicity; the sleeves resemble the Raglan in form.
