of the same embroidery at the wrists, in the place of bracelets. Ceinture brocaded to match the colours of the embroidery. Carved mother-of-pearl buckle; black satin shoes, worked in the same shades and pattern. White silk gloves and stockings.

(201.)-AT HOME.-The front hair arranged in bands and ringlets. Two folded bows at the crown of the head, sustained by a high gallery shell comb richly cut, and tufts of cinnamon-coloured gauze ribbons, with cut ends; a delicate gold chain and lozenge crosses the brow, à la Ferroniere. The gown of pale blue jaconet muslin, with full balloon sleeves somewhat above the elbow, and tight lower sleeves. This plate represents a very distinct pattern of the new manchettes, made of French cambric or fine Scotch muslin delicately worked. These manchettes promise to be as fashionable as such ornaments were three years back. The shape of the present are a new invention, exceedingly becoming to a lady's hand. Each is in two mitre-shaped pieces: one falls over the hand, nearly to the knuckles; the other over the sleeve, the latter is cleft. The bracelets to be worn with the new manchettes are complete contrasts to the heavy false jewelry seen to satiety in the last few years. A row of real pearls, of moss agates, or of exquisite enamel, clasped with a small gem for full dress, with lace or blonde manchettes. For such as the costume under discussion home dress," a light chain of gold or of hair, is placed at the parting of the two pieces. The corsage of the dress is quite plain, and tight to the bust, cut rounding to the bosom. The skirt likewise plain, gathered round the waist, and a low hem at the bottom. A chemisette of very clear plain net, finished at the throat with a lace ruff, beneath which is tied a cravat of cinnamoncoloured gros de Naples, with the ends worked in floss silk of a lighter shade. An apron of silk of the same colour, sur

rounded by a cord of the colour; and it has corners and pockets, embroidered in lighter cinnamon silk of an acorn pattern in foliage. The apron is tied with a thick cord, and tassels of the same shade. The scarf is of silk muslin, printed in rosecoloured spriggs and pattern, and finished with deep rose-coloured and white fringe. The brodequins are cinnamon reps silk and bronze leather. Our fair subscribers I will see that we have been elaborate in this description, because it presents many new inventions, and because, after all, the test of an elegant woman is the propriety and delicate finish of an "at home cos

(202.)-PROMENADE DRESS.-Small hat of watered silk, ornamented with plumes of fern and branches of white hawthorn. The hat is trimmed very tastefully with striped gauze ribbons; four puffs of ribbon are put à la ferroniere within the front, and a mentonniere of lace meets under the chin. The hat ties under the chin on one side. The dress is of Scotch or India muslin, sprigged in a pattern of palms in India cotton. It is made high to the throat, round the bust are put two cape-epaulettes, of a very new and peculiar cut; no alteration in the sleeves, excepting in the effect that is given them by the new fashion of shoulder trimmings. The skirt exceedingly full, and gathered round the waist; but it has no trimmings. A rich ruche of lace at the throat. This simple but graceful parure is one of the morning dresses of the royal bride-the young Queen of Belgium.

Miscellanies of the Month.

THE CAMP AT WINDSOR.-The encampment at Windsor, which was seriously compared to the St. Omer encampment of Charles the Tenth, turned out a very poor piece of display. It was got up solely to enable the King to present a stand of colours to the Horse Guards, Blues, and was hardly deserving even of that insignificant occasion. In the evening of the day, the officers and other military men, who witnessed the presentation of the stand of colours, to the number of two hundred, had the honour of dining with the King. The camp broke up on Tuesday.

We cannot refrain from remarking, that it would have given great satisfaction if parties

had been allowed to bring their carriages into the Park, and they would then be enabled to see the military movements, without forming a part of a dense crowd which formed the lines. As it was, we saw many a fair lady shrink under the passing remarks of the low blackguards, who pressed their unwelcome presence without regard to politeness, or even common civility. We were almost tempted to knock down a fellow in a straw hat, who even insulted the ladies, in the royal carriages, as they passed us; the by-standers giving him encouragement rather than otherwise.

SIMPLICITY. At the marriage of the Queen of the Belgians, the French King, Louis Philippe, announced, that several sums were to be given to portion off young women; and proper testimonials of good character and conduct were required, in the damsels, who were candidates for the dowries. A very plain but respectable young woman presented herself, and laid, before the committee, the most unexceptionable references of praiseworthy conduct; and, when requested to name her intended, that he might be registered, she made a low curtsey, and replied, with the utmost naiveté-" Oh, gentlemen, I thought the government found every thing."

DEPARTURE OF THE DUCHESS OF SAXE WEIMAR.-On Wednesday, the first instant, her Majesty accompanied her sister, the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, to the Tower, who embarked shortly afterwards on board the Attwood steam-packet, for Germany. The Queen and the Duchess left Windsor as early as seven o'clock, and returned, the same day, with his Majesty, who had held a levee at St. James's.
