THE FASHIONS. From Le Foilet.) The tavor with which plaid has been receiv- bes is decidedly diminishing. Still the collets | jaia velvet, and fringe to match, are worn, ugh now rather an Sec eae than a} wegen fashion, as formerly. hey are more | generally made of cloth or milled flannel, in | patterns of wide black checks upon velvet or green ground, with chenille fringe of the two colors. Small paletots are also made of | ane same materials, and trimmed with fringe. | ‘Velvet rotondes in black, violet or blue, as also | in striped plush, are equally fashionable. Be- | aides those of cloth or velvet, mantles of silk, | | lined and wadded, trimmed with wide gnipure or possementerie, Mixed with beads, are worn; but, althongh yery pretty, they are certainly | scarcely so suitable to the weather as materials of warmer appearance. A haif-fitting casaque of Lyons cloth, with a rouleau of fur, has a | very stylish effect. Fur is admissible as a trimming even for @ full dress, though, of course, then only worn by ladies who do not | dance. Satin or velvet dresses of light colors | are being made with trimmings of ermine | swansdown, er grebe, round the bottom of the | skirt, and sometimes also om the body. They have an exceedingly rich and elegant appear- ance Satin brocatelle or velontine are oecasi onally | | made with quite plain skirts. When trimmed | it must be either with fur, feathers or lace. | Upon a dress of Mexico blue or Empress mauve | ‘satin, two or three bands of feathers produce a splendid effect. Lace, also, is very much used | witb satin, and there are some exquisite lace tunics made for this purpose. Guipure is not 20 effective as Chantilly. Ruches, flounces with narrow satin trim- mings, butterfly bows, medallions, leaves of | lace, and especially passementerie, are worn as trimmingsthis winter. Passementerie isin great | favor for vestes, which are trimmed with bands of it, forming braces. Upon Figaro yestes the | chief elegance is in the epaulets with jet beads | ended with banging ornanients. hese are | now made long and narrow, very much orna- mented with embroidery of passementerie, ter- minating with acut jetornament. For visiting dress in rich materials some persons have adop- | ted the fashien of haying the skirt made per- | fectly plain. | Moires of a very large water are very much | in vogue, especially the short moires. Those | witha black ground and wide piain satin stripes | are also very handsome. A similar patiern 18} meade in taffetas 1 The fic wing style of dress called Louis XV, | THE EVENING STAR. | is that usually adopted for robe de chambre, or morning dress. Itis made with large plaits in | the back. The form sou/ane—which is aiso used | for morning dresses. is without large plaits | end has less fullness. For this reason, howev- €r, itis not so graceful. This garment, being especially reserved for morning wear, is ‘usual. ly made simply of cashmere, flannel or alpaca. Whea plain, the colors preferred are iron-gray | or deep blue. Others are made in black and i white check or plaid. Wide bands suiting the | dress s1e used &s trimmings. A plaid band on | the iron-gray ; upon the blue or plaid a baud of | tafetas or black velvet. For these simple robes de chambre can be sub- | stituted others of a richer description, as pon- | cean harigsouarat covered with rich black braid- | ing and ementerie, oF plaid poplin with vel- ve bade; OF StIE more elegaan pinsh with / velvet. or quilted satin band: —this can only be | in the Louis XV style. | Foniard formerly was considered a summer | material}, now it is worn generally at sli | times of the year that we must not pass it py | without notice. When of a dark shade it is es- ally useful for dull or wet wexther, as it oops up so easily over the petticoat, and does | not crumple. Violet and dark gray are the colors most pri ferred for wal in cashmer patterns of ps s upon stripes are reserved for morning 2t-home dress. Fou- | lards with white ground and colored boquéts or stripes are charming for evening dress. dresses are much required, them first in our list of descriptions this month. | A silver.gray dress of pouli de soie, trimmed | round the bottom of the skirt with four aarrow | finted founces. each headed by 1 roulenu of green and red plaid velvet.

A flounce of blue taife- las round the skirt, which is made witha train. The flounce, about a quarter of a yardin depth | behind, but quite narrow in front, is edged with an insertion of black lace laid flat on, anda | similar insertion forms a heading.

The underskirt is rather longer than the upper one, and has & row of smali black lace medallions, | matching those on the tulle, placed at a little | distance apart all roundit.

Braces to match, commencing trom the band, are car- ried over the shoulders, where they increase considerably in width and form epaulets. At the bottom of the sleeve a revers to match. A dress of maise-colored satin, with two rows" of chenille putstraight round the skirt and one waved between them. Upon the body, which is bigb, a trimming of chenille in the style ofa figaro veste.
