Another pattern meeting with much favor ia is that of flies or birds in black and gold, blue and gold, red and silver, &e. Many rich foulards are made in stripes of color on a white groand, or doted over with f*mall designs. Ball dresses, of thin material, are frequently made with tunics caught opp by Tibbons, c ords, or trails ef tlowers. At the dottom of skirts bonillonnes or flounces are Placed, and corselets with pointe, or with small separated basques, are worn.

The side is drapery of tulle and velvet, fastened With cameo. Blue velvet bonnet, with a flat plait from the front to the small curtain, edged with white blonde.
