And years of care shall dim those eyes Sparkling with love's own light, And 'mid those dark and glossy braids Shall mingle threads of white. But outward change shall only prove That heart more true to thee, And, though the eyes their lustre lose, _It_ will unaltered be. And oh, when sorrow's storm shall come, For come it surely will, 'Twill only bind that loving heart To thee more closely still. And now, though many friends are near, Wishing thee perfect bliss, Not _one_, I know, is more _sincere_ _Than she_ who sends you _this_.—V. CAPS AND HEADDRESS. [Illustration: Fig. 1.] [Illustration: Fig. 2.] [Illustration: Fig. 3.] [Illustration: Fig. 4.] AS it is impossible to describe the various shades of trimming that are seen in the new styles of caps and headdresses, we resort to cuts to illustrate them. Fig. 1 is a breakfast-cap for a young married lady, of a very simple style; the foundation is of a plain net; this is traversed by plaitings of lace, through which is passed a flat plaid ribbon of bright hues. Loops and bows in profusion at each ear. It will be found a very stylish model. Fig. 2.—A more complicated and less youthful cap, composed of insertions and edgings, trimmed with mantua ribbon of a good quality. Fig. 3.—A graceful style of headdress for a young person, when simplicity is to be preserved. It is merely of full _bandeaux_, slightly waved; the flowers, a light drooping spray, are arranged in the _bandeaux_, instead of the back of the hair, or across the brow. The back of the hair, as seen in Fig. 4, is dressed in three puffs, and secured by a low ornamental comb. We have still newer designs of headdresses in preparation to illustrate the topic of the coming month—dress at watering-places. [Illustration] JUVENILE FASHIONS [Illustration: Fig. 1.] [Illustration: Fig. 2.] WE are very much pleased—nor is it to be wondered at—with the communications that frequently reach us with regard to this especial department. "Indeed," writes a correspondent, whose opinion is of value, "the good ideas you have given me concerning children's dresses and many other things, during the three months I have received the 'Lady's Book,' I consider worth the whole year's subscription." Once, at least, every season we devote our chitchat especially to the young people; and to show they are not forgotten in the mean time, select a design from Mrs. Suplee's large establishment—of children's clothing, etc.—of a boy's summer suit. The plaited linen shirt, or chemisette, Fig. 1, is sometimes worn by itself, buttoning to the waistband of the trousers, Fig. 2, which are full, and rather long. The over-jacket may be made of Cashmere or any suitable material, and is intended for the street. The peculiar style of the sleeves and the square opening of the front display the fine linen bosom and sleeves. FASHIONABLE BONNETS AND CAPS.
