Journal of Commerce.] Panis, January 21 We are in the full enjoyment of the carnival season, which commences with the New Year and terminates with the frantic festivities of the masked Balls of Mardigras, (Shrove Tues- day.) All Paris is dancing, excepting the un- fortunate victims of Ia Grippe or Influenza. which this year has heen unusually prevalent und severe, owing to the sudden change from a spring-like temperature to greatcold. ire have balls at the Palaee, official receptions and fetes at the ministers, and private entertainments witheut number. The streets of the capital are almost as much alive during the night as in the day time--throaged with vehicles of all deserip- tions. Our milliners and mantua makers are busilyemployedin Preparing evening costumes; the toilette de velle is at this moment of secon- dary consideration. There are a vast variety of evening dresses—those for young ladies, for young married ladies who dance. and the ma- trons’ toilette. Madame Petit, 4 Place \en- dome, has devised many styles of toilette for dinner and evening costume. Among the va- riety the following deseriptions are the newest: A robe of light blue silk with two skirts, the upper one trimmed all round with a plaiting « ta veille. The body forms a point in front and behind, and is decorated with a pointed berthe, trimmed with a plaiting; the sleeves are very wide and rounded, shading the arm, rounded at the bottom, and likewise trimmed with plait- ing a /a veille; this ia a dinner toilette. For bail dress, white, pink, bine or yellow silk, sovered with acrape of the same color. The lowest skirt of crape has three large puffings; above it are two skirts of crape sim ly hemmec One of these skirts is raised at the side bya bouquet of fuchsias; the low, pointed corsage is trimmed with aye oo bouquets of fuchsias are placed on the middle of the body and on the sleeves. Another toilette is of pink or blue silk, with a double skirt; gn the lower there is a flounce of Lyons tulle, with puflings of pink illusion tulle at the edge, and the whole covered with a flounce of Brussels application. The second is decorated exactly in the same manner # the first, only the flounce must be fastened on at the waist. Thecorsage is low and pointed, and decorated with ad uffed berthe, covered with Brussels lace. The sleeves have two large silk puffs, covered with a sort of flounce of puffed tulle, covered with lace. The puffed flounces over the jxpox a ressort form a volu- minous skirt. Notwithstanding the attacks cf the press, the caricatures,—with which Paris is inundated,—and the roars of laughter excited | by the new piece at the Theatre lAmbigue Comique, styled ‘+ Paris Crinoline,”’ the enor- mous skirts continue to rule supreme. Our dasbionable dames present the appearance of huge bells, and as yet we see no prospect of a whange in this ridiculous mode. The jewels form the principal part of the evening toilette. Robes are literally covered with precious stones. I have seen, au Nigre. 19 Boulevard St. Denis, long garlands com- ato of flowers formed of glittering gems, the es being either of velvet or of enamel. and $ntended to loop up the skirts of rich brocades, satins, tulle or crape. The coiffure and the trimmings of the corsage match the costly dec- orations of the skirts. Our distinguished milliner, Madame Alphon- 12 Rue du Helder, now exbibits a great variety of beautiful coiffures. There is. for a married lady, a head-dress composed of two plate of cherry velvet; large guid beads are rolled around the first plat, which they connect to the second, and form a sort of ground work: there is a narrow border of China velvet lined with white satin, and trimmed with pearls and a long drooping white feather. The Charlotte Corday cap has a square crown of white tulle, sli; y puffed. A velvet bow is put outside, ai Tge roses inside. and Jong string#hang down behind. Another is a cap of puffed talle, decorated with large gold beads and long tulle barbs. Ladies who dance wear wreaths of flowers, or of fruit, either in small tufts, like the berries ot mountain ash, of three colors, red and black and gold; or, in bunches or ears, red and black. or black and gold, green and red, &e. Bonnets are worn very much ia the Maria Stu- art form; the strings are wide, rounded at the ends, and nearly always edged with a bias iece of different colors. A new bonnet for ull dress is composed of pink royal velvet; « very rich blonde falls over the crown behind, in the style of a cache pergue. On the left side of the front there is a bouquet of red feathers, ornamenting both the inside and out- side. On the right a full blown rose droops gracefully. Grey terry velvet bonnets are dec- orated with black lace; the crown is formed of grey plush, surrounded and trimmed with pen- dant ornaments. The extravagantiy-worked and ornamented pocket handkerchiéfs tor ball costume. lately produced by Chaperon—Au Sublime Porte, Rue de la Paix, are among the novelties of the season. They are generally round, and are eomposed of the finest lace; a tiny square piece of cambric forms the eentre piece, and is sufficiently large to enable the fair fingers to clasp it, without touching the lace. We have detailed accounts from England of the magnificence of the Princess Royal's bridal robe and trousseau. The dress is composed of white satin covered with Honiton lace. The trousseau contains the usual amount of superb India and French cashmere shawls, gorgeous laces, costly jewels. fine linen, embroideries of all descripti The Honiton lace is of Eng- lish fabric, and resembles very much the finest Brassels applica artof the wedding attire is in Parisian ha t will fall under my official inspection, and I may report te you what the gevius of universal millinery has invented and executed on this occasion for the glory of Old England.
