FIGURE 1.-BALL DRESS.

THE dress is of pink silk; the corsage décolletée,

pointed, and demi-busque, with a berthe of silk tulle, made in small puffs, sewed upon Lyons tulle, with sleeves the same, followed by a lace four inches wide. The skirt is trimmed with a wide lace, which, falling from the waist, reaches the top of a range of tulle puffs, similar to those above, but larger. The silk is now visible for a space; then follows a range of vine-foliage, interspersed with small gilt grapes, the leaves being of green and russet crape. This heads another fall of lace,

All these puffs are looped with pink and white ribbons crossing each other, ranging from No. 7 to No. 11, bows of which ornament the sleeves. The corsage has a bouquet of foliage. The hair is worn in flat bandeaux; it is low on the face, and on the head is divided into two parts, and rolled over the bandeaux; on the neck it falls low, without a knot. The ornaments consist of grape-leaves in autumnal tints, with grapes of pearl in small clusters.

which is also succeeded by puffs of tulle.

In COIFFURES there is the widest latitude as to material and style. Any tasteful combinations of

| foliage, flowers, feathers, chenilles, pearls, etc., may be safely adopted. We present two styles: Figure 2 is a circlet of pearls, with drops of the same. Figure 3 is also wrought in pearls, with oak-leaves, outlined with green and gold twisted braid, filled in with seed-pearls.

The PATENT ADJUSTABLE BUSTLE, figured below, recommends itself on grounds of health as well as convenience. The size can be regulated by means of a lace passing across the back. It is made either separate or attached to the skirt. Its pliableness and elasticity are such, that while the whole garment may be compressed into a small bonnet-box, it instantly expands on being released from pressure.
