sleeves of blond. Dresses of dark purple velvet are often trimmed with featherfringe. Tunic robe dresses are much admired for half-dres, and we remarked, on a very fashionable young lady, a pretty home costume of double-merino, of a rich dark-green, trimmed at the border, at the cuffs, and round the throat, with two rows of light sable; the fur

at the border of the skirt was consider ably broader than that on the corsage and sleeves.

The most admired colors for pelisses, clokes, and dresses, are purple, willowgreen, rock-geranium, apricot, stonecolor, and milk-chocolate; for bonnets, turbans, and ribands, ruby, amber, cinnamon-brown, and canary-yellow.

MODES PARISIENNES.

EVENING DRESS.

THIS beautiful and appropriate dress for the winter evening party is of a bright etherial-blue satin round the border of the skirt is a row of sharp points, set on flounce-wise; these are bound by a narrow rouleau in bias. Over the points is a broad fringe, with a very splendid head, in beautiful net-work: a row of the same fringe encircles the base of the waist, which is made à la Sevigne, with a narrow tucker of blond across the bust. The sleeves are very short and full, and almost covered by a fringe depending from each shoulder. The coiffure consists of a dress hat of white crape, trimmed under the left side of the brim with bows of saffroncolored riband, striped with black; long ends of the same riband float over the shoulders. The hat is ornamented in front of the crown with two birds-of-paradise, each bending over the opposite sides.

CLOKES are in as high estimation with the Parisian ladics as with the English; those which are put on at the visiting of the theatres or the public concert-room, are of the most rare and expensive kind. Several are seen of very valuable texture; and a ground of purple satin, chequered over in velvet, with palm-leaves twisted over the stripes of the chequers, may be said to form a beautiful relief. Some ladies wear, as out-door costume, velvet spencers over satin dresses. Clokes of red Merino, figured over in Etruscan patterns, are much in request; the figures are black; and the cape is finished by a broad fringe. Merino is also as favorite a material for walking pelisses, as gros de la Chine; they are made in front of the bust à la Circassienne, with a plain back.

The hats and bonnets are made of glazed plush; and this gloss has a beautiful effect, giving to the plush the same appearance as the changeable silks, now the reigning mode. In the front of the black velvet hats is placed a bow formed of rouleaux, each parted from the other, by a letting-in of black tulle. The ends of all bows on velvet hats are edged by feathered fringe.

Dresses of white satin, with a corsage of colored velvet, have been lately remarked at the theatres. The border of

the skirt is trimmed with a broad flounce of blond, reaching from the knees to the hem next to the feet. Black velvet dresses are made in front of the bust in the shape of a heart. The sleeves are very wide and of white tulle. They are puckered at the bend of the arm, and drawn in at the hollow of the arm; from which they hang; under these sleeves are seen those which fit close. A dress which is much admired for the eveningparty is of white satin or of taffeta, very much cut away from the shoulders, trimmed at the border with white and green fringe, as high as the knees. A canezou of tulle embroidered in imitation of blond, and sleeves à la Donna Maria, discover much of the bust, shoulders, back, and arms. In the centre of the frill which goes round the neck is a black velvet collar with the two ends crossed. Black velvet bracelets placed over a row of quilling are fastened by a buckle of gold and colored stones. A tissu from camels' hair from the Morea, and named Chaly, is very much in favor for dresses among the merveilleuses; and many mixtures of silk and stuff now prevail: a very stout kind of gros de Naples is also worn, which gives notice of its approach by its loud rustling.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

In the Tale of Eldred and Eldrida, we find romantic cant without sense, and horror without meaning. The valuable manuscript will be returned to its author on demand.

There is some sense in the story of the Unfortunate Attachment; yet, upon the whole, it is unfit to meet the public eye, although it may amuse the writer's friends at a soirée.

Le Repos de la Nature will be speedily inserted.

ERRATUM-The ancient Greeks had no idea of punctuation, though it is an act of sense, calculated to prevent confusion of language. The particular position or the omission of a mere point sometimes makes the sense totally opposite; for instance, in the Latin note sent by the bishop of Hereford for the murder of king Edward II., a point or stop after one word enjoined the act, but, placed after another, it tended to countermand it. In the 607th page, to remedy that which is now little better than nonsense, read, "after the battle of Culloden has destroyed, &c.;" for the prince did not destroy his hopes, but the battle and the enemy did.
