FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. Morning Cap* —Amidst the most fashionable novelties of the season, we have remarked some very pretty morning caps of embroidered muslin; the front part is concealed by a kind of small half handkerchief, also of embroidered muslin, trimmed round the back part with two rows of lace, descending on each side in the form of lappets, and ornamented with a blue ribbon, put on plain upon the centre of the head, axuTtpwaiuated on each side by a nceud of ribbon, with long ends drooping care- lessly at the sides. Dresses for the present month still continue to have all the freshness of a summer toilette. We cannot fail to admire that pretty plaid dress a carreaux, pink and white, and trimmed with two broad flounces, each more than three quarters in width, and ornamented with a pink fringe, the heading of which is rather broad, and formed of three rows of open work; plain body, having a deep point, with no plait on either side the centre of the corsage is composed of two pieces, forming the cross way on each side of the shoulders; the back is also formed in a point, and plain and narrow at the sides the sleeves of this pretty costume are trimmed with two narrow frillings, trimmed likewise with fringe. Evening Dresses.-We have remarked several very charming toilettes intended for soirees dansantes. These dresses are made a petit revers plain, and placed front and back instead of any other drapery, the back of the waist forming a kind of jacket. The sleeves are short, and form a kind of facing by means of a sort of wristband, which binds the sleeve, the skirt trimmed with four broad folds, reaching from the hips to the lower part of the dress. Bonnets.-Already we have been favoured with a sight of some distingue looking ones made in velvet, of a rather open form, and ornamented with a bunch of two moderate-sized feathers, or a bouquet of three small ones, tipped with the 1 same colour as the velvet. Satin ribbons, likewise of the same t colour, complete the ornamenting of the bonnet. Feathers this year have obtained great success amongst our muit fashionable modistes, particularly those pretty plumes zephyriennes, the Argus feather, and others too numerous to mention. Flowers.—Wreaths in the hair will be much worn this au- tumn; we may cite, as those most in favour for their fresh and natural appearances, the Pamela wreath and crown a la Ninon, which encircles the back part of the head, and has a most youthful and becoming effect. Mantelets—Some very elegant ones have lately appeared of embroidered tarlatane, in the form of a shawl, opening over the ton of the arms, and trimmed all round with three rows of lace. TTien Main, there is the eeharpe a capuchon, made of white ^FXoUbt^ofourf forUther preset'autumnal season are principally shades of green, particularly sea-green, violet, grey, and a variety of mixed such as and red, grey and white, two shades of blue, lilac aDd whlte, &c.
