Panis, Noy. 23, 1867. The new gilt, jet and steel ornaments worn on sashes have assumed emblematic shapes since my last. Ladies now wear arrows, lyres, large harps and crawling dragon flies behind. All the crusta- cea are in favor, not forgetting lobsters, which are thought becoming in the hair. A novelty is the elegant white muslin drapery worn on low bodices, I must describe them as plaited braces. They are worn in the style of the Ttalian braces of last year, only they are kept to the waist by a belt, and the ends flow in front and behind like scarf ends. A bow on each shoulder with this constitutes a sleeve, The Empress Eugéaie wore, on the opening of the Legislative Assembly, a white satin, brocaded with gold laurel leaves, a fichu of the same with carmelite (brown) velvet sash ends, and rouleaux of the same on tho satin skirt. She wore over this a black lace shawl. Her bonnet was made of the same, and trimmed with a lovely aigrette, ad- mirably placed on one side, Princess Murat was in pearl grey and Alengon point. Black velvet underskirts, with black satin tunios, trimmed with deep lace all round, were the quietest toilets in the galleries. Jewels in bonnets flashed on many a brow. The favorite ornaments on bonnets are steel and gilt—thus, # gilt. band with steel leaves, and gilt and steel cars on gilt rims. Young ladies’ hate are something between tur- bans and caps. . The prettiest diadem d&nnets have puifs of velvet in front, somewhat high, with a plain rim on the forehead and an asigrette of sparkling steel, crystal or jewels. Sashes made of the same material as costumes are short and bordered with satin, Hibbon sashes are longer. A lovely leaf for trimming is the wide ivy edged with lace; it is blue om gray or light brown om dark, Basques of setin are cut im one, with square, low bodice.
