FOR the early portion of the season, we illustrate a mantilla of great beauty. It is made of black-green or ruby-colored, with a richly embroidered ornamental design. Should it prove desirable, the upper portion of the garment may be left off, and the lower alone worn. The mantilla is trimmed with a netted fringe, seven inches wide.] [Illustration: THE SNOWDROP. [From the establishment of G. BRODIE, No. 51 Canal Street, New York.] FOR the close of this month and the early summer, we present a mantilla which shares largely the public favor. This garment has appeared elsewhere before, somewhat in advance of its time; but, as we desire to present _accurate_ reports of what are _actually_ the reigning modes, we publish it here for the benefit of our lady friends. It is in the _berthe_ style, composed of white _poult de soie_, heavily embroidered. The collar is slashed upon the shoulder, and cross-laced with cords terminating in neat tassels. It is fringed with extraordinary richness.] [Illustration: EUGENIE COSTUME. DESIGNED, BY MRS. SUPLEE, EXPRESSLY FOR GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK.

THIS BONNET, which is suited to a plain walking-dress, is made of straw, and trimmed with Leghorn-colored ribbon, disposed in a simple and tasteful style, with two long flowing ends on the left side. The bonnet is lined with white ærophane, laid in small neat folds; and the under-trimming consists of loops of black velvet ribbon. The second figure is the reverse side of the same bonnet.] GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK. PHILADELPHIA, APRIL, 1854. EVERYDAY ACTUALITIES.--NO. XVIII. ILLUSTRATED WITH PEN AND GRAVER. BY C. T. HINCKLEY.
