T 1 1 K FASHION 8.
Bonnt. ClsU, lrn, I.fteets, Orn
lattnia. Mo.- I'tie Niylra for Mny.
There has never tx en In Mar a greater varloty in
the fashions than now. Many of the stylos which
were prominent during (he past tear are not yet dis
carded, though they are giatual'y yielding to the
Dower anu more tunoilul aengns of the fashion
makers, who ace ever on the alert tor something
charming, nay, or eccentric The present stylos are
nearly all attractive. Tne provailnur colon are blue,
green, lavendor, grey, and cen-e in difloront shades.
"White Is also qure a fnvorne.and is much used lor
trimming bonnets. When contrasting colors are
worn they are usually so bleuood as to harmonize
perfect!?, and bava a very pleasing effoct w thout
being showy a refined taste always discerning ele
pauce in richness and unobtiusive simplicity, rather
than id display.
A novel proposal, and one somewhat startling to
the Paruuan ladies, has neen mado in Franc?. It in,
that a society be lornicd tot t'e purpose or pnttiug
a stop to the extravagant style ot dr-ss so generally
adopted there. Oue t the pr ncipal rules of t.ie
ocit ty will be, that each niomber shun pledve her
sit 10 dross with -'oloirant simplicity.'' That it
Villi tie suocesslui cannot be coniidontly anticipated;
tint the oiut ought 10 be useful to the womou of our
own oountry.
B0NNRT8.
The styles of bonnet In the present month are tho
Empiio, l''atichon, and Pamolia or Giov The con
test tor popular lavor is botwoon tn Fauchou and (lie
Uipsy. IbeFanchon is not, however, exactly like
that 01 last vcar, being smaller, and in some respects
pret lor. An ell'nrt was recently made to revive
crowns, and so rule It out, but the atiempt proved
lutilo. Ti'O h auction has many admirers, and their
number is increasing. A tall oi nanow lace, an oc
casional spray ot Uawor, or a Tine ot green leaves
resting noon the ha r. has a lar more pretty cir.ct
than any hiirh stiflcrown, howovor artistical y con
structed. A letter n om Paris nays that the bonno.s
recently worn there wore almost all mado ol' flowers
ol one kind or a other, lastoued u jou tuilo, and en
tirely o V( ring the triangular Fauchou which is so
much in vnuue. Ono bonnet w as eutiro y ot ivall
flowers, those above uoing yellow and orango, wtiilo
a low under the rim had a rod dish tint. A much
prettier bonnet was composed ot tho My ol tne
va lev, tho crystal dow-drip tailing ou the lorohead,
and on the lia r at the buck ol the heat. Another
was lormed of white duisics, and t no diuss worn was
ahnjBt exclusively white, rolievod by narrow black
stripes.
J here is a tendency to ovor trimming, most of the
bonnets this season being so formed as to require
but little trimming, the bonnets aro vory small,
and the straws aro mostly in fancy braids that need
no d oooi at ion; tut an unuaal number ot oruainouts
have been intromited, such as chains, s rings ot
beads, buttons, cameos, buckles, clasps, and a mix
ture of jot and straw. Whou to these are added lace,
flower?, ribbon, and a veil, we reek in vain a glimpse
ot the bonnot; It is completely bidden.
The tipsy is much worn, especialy by quite
young ladies, and will, doubtless, remain fasluouuble.
It is vory becoming to a piotiv lace, but a laoe on
which i.me has left a oecioed impress, or ono that is
unattraoivo, is sad y out of piace under the flowers
and dowurcps oi a GlpBy hat.
DRESSES.
Morning drosses are made of flne cambric, or
piquo, in white or very light delicate colors. They
are sometimes gored when mado of pique, but a vory
pretty morning dress is ot white cambric, the skirt
tucked, and somotimos embroidered. A short jacket,
also em roidered, is worn over it, making a neat and
elevm' morning roi e.
Suits are very murh wern during the present
month. J hey are mado ot summer poplin, goat hair
clcth, or mohair, in tielioato shades, such as larendor
or pean grey and light chine". The skiit is usually
partly or entirely goied. and over it is worn either
a basquine, talma, oi round cloak with the ooach
Tan's capo, as may Milt the fancy ot the wearer. But
' the baquine is more used in suits than any other
jorm ot o oax.
KiQinn habits are made either in grey or dark
colors, t he bodice being in the clone-lilting coat
style, wltu a collar and lape's that roll back
from a tucked chemisette. The snort skirt is
trimmod with black calloon or velvet ribbon and
jet buttons, with an imitation pocket, and vest in
military style, and the plain coai sleeve has a mili
tary cuff. The drtsa has straps to raise it on dis
mounting. CLOAKS.
Basquinca made ot purple and white cloth
which are extrenioiv eegant, but were formerly
only seen at tea-bathing places have been worn in
Paris. 1 hose made of purple are decorated with
black braid and jet beads, arranged in graceful
sprays upon tho Dasque, snouioeis, and sleeves.
Those of white are not so highly ornamented
gimp ornaments are interspersed with tne braiding
pattern.
The 1 asquine,is the prevailing style of clonk not
onlv in suits, but in black silk stilt tneie is a tiesf
tancy with many about cutting any very cosiy
fabrio Into the tight fitting basquine. as this garment
has been ho long worn 'hat it is thought a change of
some kud is ocio e jong inevitaDie most ot the
basquines are not now straight around the edge but
are cut either in round or square tcollops Ihose
with three points are considered "stylish" one
point (ailing a the back and one at each side. Deep
talmas having a bioad told at the tOD of tne buck.
and conlinod some inches below tho neck band by
ribbons, are among tbe new garments.
A novel feature of dress, which will probably be
Introduc d this Beacon ia New York, is colored hand
embroidery on shawls. The labnos on which tho
work is done are China crepe, French crepe, flne
Cashmere, etc, and npon white or b nek ground. A
border is made o; flowers and leaves in their natural
colors. Lace patterns in a Russian stitch are some
times mteispersed with these flowers, and tho edge
is finished bv a rich silk tringe; or the border is
made ot black or white lace, or a mixture ot both.
MISCKLLANKOtTS.
Tho hair is worn a tntlo higher at tbe back of the
head than it has recently beon. Cur s aud crimps
are still tashionablc, and the co ls, arranged in dif
ferent ways, are much worn. Iu place ot velvet
bandlots. moire and gros grain ribbons aro used,
and the steamers at tho back of the head aie longor
than ever. Gold l ands are also worn around tne
head, and gleam out from tiers of curls.
Ju silks a new shade is worn, it is a lilac pink,
and is becoming to most complexions. A now ma
terial, cal ed Chanibrnv foulard, has become ex
tremely fashionable. It is a labrio botwoon tho
Chembray guuzo and tafF tas in texturo, and (alls In
regular, graceful fo ds. In poarl grey it has the ap
pearance ot beinir woven wi'h si ver threads. It is
worn in stiues, in white and cerise, white and blue,
white and mauve, or grey, with colored stripes, it
is said white and scarlet will be the Parisian sum
mer mixtures, and white ioulard bod ces aie
trimmed with these oolois.
Gaiibaldis in white muslin are trimmed with a
new material in cm ton that loozs at first g ance like
black r bl on and Cluny lace. Homo of those waists
are composed of mus in, lace, ami embroidery, and
are cut square at tne throat; othor oross like a
neckerchief, aud aro made up of narrow tucks a ad
laee.
Hitherto 4he laces in use have beon only black and
whit. Hut there are no v to t tlrmntilly luoes ot
various colors to pit ae all tastes and suit all com
plexions.. Y. Evening Post.
