FIRST FIGURE-Home Toilet--Dress of Havannah silk, trimmed at the bottom of the skirt with a flounce, mounted in wide plaits, headed by a torsade or lozenges of velvet of the same colour, or it may be of a deeper shade. Jacket body of velvet, bordered by the same trimming, accompanied by a narrow ball fringe. Sleeves half-tight. Linen collar, mounted on a chemisette body, having a frill down the front finely plaited by hand.

SECOND FIGURE.-Dinner toilet composed of black pou-de-soie, trimmed at the bottom with a broad band of blue pou-de-soie, set on in vandykes, with bands of ermine at each point. Body with a lappet prolonged about four inches | deep on the hips, and edged with a trimming of ermine; this body is cut low on the shoulders, from which it is continued in blue pou-de-soie up to the neck. Sleeves almost tight, also of blue pou-de-soie, finished at the wrist with an ermine trimming, and a ruche of English lace, which completes the under-sleeve. Mechlin tulle collar trimmed with the same lace. Hair ornamented with blue ribbons.

Another pretty indoor toilet consists of a grey poplin dress. Body of the jacket style in front, with a shawl skirt behind. A frilled plaiting of violet silk surrounds the body, with which a violet silk waistcoat is worn; and a similar trimming (deeper, of course,) surrounds the skirt where it is set on in undulations. A linen collar trimmed with valenciennes is mounted on

a chemisette, the front of which is trimmed with a frill of the same lace, which is seen through the opening of the waistcoat. Under-sleeves with a linen band to match the collar. The poplin sleeve of the body is trimmed top and bottom with a frilled plaiting.

A very pretty walking dress is composed of green pou-de-soie. Body round at the waist; sleeves half-tight. Velvet paletot fitting to the waist behind; it is ornamented, on the seams down the skirt with gimp. A fanchon shaped drawn bonnet, made of puffed crape, and ornamented outside and in with a branch of roses. Behind a puffing of crape, with cross pieces of black lace spanning it. Linen collar, with deep cuffs to match.

Of bonnets I have little to say but what you already know: the form fanchon without a curtain prevails, especially with young ladies who wear the hair low, and are happy in exhibiting its beauty. I am sorry to say that this charm is sometimes simulated, and that bonnets are here, and I dare say also in London, exhibited with artificial chevelure attached. Amongst models lately executed I am tempted to describe one formed of white satin, over which is placed a net-work of ponceau chenille. Behind the cache-peigne is formed of flowers of fuchsias, in velvet of the same shade, falling over a fond of white tulle, covered with a net-work of chenille. In the interior are fuchsias set in a ruche of tulle illusion with black velvet ribbon between.
