Dress of glace silk, shaded in light green and lilac. The skirt trimmed with four rows of fringe of green and lilac silk intermingled. The corsage low and plain, with a pelerine which passes along the back and shoulders, and is brought down to the front of the waist in a point. This pelerine is edged with two rows of fringe. The sleeves of the dress, which are short, are edged simply with one row of fringe. Attached to these short sleeves are long sleeves of white muslin made so as to set nearly close to the upper part of the arms, but finished between the elbow and the wrist with three drawings separated by bands of needlework insertion. Above these drawings there is a frill which falls back on the arm. The neck is covered by a chemisette of muslin, finished at the throat with a trimming of needlework, turned over. [Illustration: FIG. 3.--LITTLE GIRL'S COSTUME.] FIG. 4. HOME DRESS.--Morning cap trimmed with Valenciennes and gauze ribbons, cut out in the shape of leaves, muslin _guimpe bouillonne_, with embroidered _entre-deux_; the gown _en gros d'Ecosse_, with facing and trimmings cut out; _pagode_ sleeves, with a white muslin puffing ornamented with a very large _bouillonne_. [Illustration: FIG. 4.--HOME DRESS.] In the engraving (FIG. 5) is represented a BALL COSTUME, with a graceful head-dress, composed of a vine garland with grapes; on each side hangs a bunch of grapes (several little hunches are preferred). The novelty of this year is to be observed in the length of the branches, which come down on the shoulders, mixing with long curls. This head-dress is worn also with _bandeaux_, but then the garland must be thicker in the lower part. The leaves are of different colors, from the various shades of green to the autumnal red tint. This kind of garland is made also of ivy, with small red balls. The gowns are of _taffetas d'Italie_--_white, rose_, or _blue_ (their shades are to be _glaces de blanc_): the body is trimmed with a _berthe_, made of two rows of _blonde_; the front ornamented with a puffing of white net laced with satin ribbons the color of the gown.
