THOUGH the cloth shawls embroidered with gold are in great vogue, the Parisian ladies have not yet laid aside the Cashmire shawls, which are now called Egyptian shawls,because many of them have been received from India by way of that country. Hats of white satin, trimmed with white ribbands, and ornamented with one or two white feathers, are much worn. The coloured hats are of velvet or satin, red, crimson, or orange.

THE most general head-dress still is the veil laid flat upon the hair, and falling at the side. That which passes for the most distinguished is a half-handkerchief of lace, en marmotte,laid on the side, and leaving a rich comb and a short chignonopen to view.

THE fiche en marmotte (represented in the plate) still continues one of the most distinguished head-dresses; beside which we have the head cut close à-la-Titus; the hair plaited and fastened with a comb or a pin; laced paysannes,worn very forward; hats of black straw and fancy bonnets of white satin. The robes are somewhat longer-waisted. The reigning colours, next to white, are sky-blue, black, and rose colour. Almost all the robes have a long train.

PARISIAN FASHIONS.

(With an Engraving elegantly coloured.)

THE veil still supplies the place of a head-dress with many of our élégantes:this veil is usually laid immediately on the hair; but the two points are no longer brought to meet under the chin. Tunics with puckered sleeves (as in the annexed figure 1) are much worn.

The Titus head-dress, the Mamaluke tunic, and the round robe (see fig. 2), are among the principal articles of the present fashion; robes of black crape, with long and large sleeves, are very common; the fichus continue to be worn without any opening before.
