the hair, so much seen on Broadway early in the season, has never been adopted by the best people. The shape is as we have described it previously-a low, rather small crown, and a gradual ascent to the edge of a high brim, higher than has been worn for years past.

There is a new deep brown, called Capuchin. At Miss McConnel's, we were shown a hat of this color in uncut velvet; it is a red brown, somewhat like the old-fashioned cinnamon. The hat was slightly full; the fulness confined by one large cord, drawn through the middle, and spreading after the fashion of a broad ruffle on brim and crown. This appearance was increased by the fulness of the crown coming over the edge of the crown a little, and showing a black lining; three short plumes the same shade as the velvet, on top of the brim; inside, a half cap of blonde, with two large "cloth of gold" roses with their foliage placed in lace across the top. Black strings.

One more, and we leave these fascinating creations for the present.

Black velvet hat. The front slightly full; puffed crown of spotted silk illusion. On the top, flat loops of scarlet velvet and rich black lace, and a beautiful plume placed so as to fall back over the crown, with a slight inclination to one side. Inside the brim, the inevitable half cap of blonde and thulle, with a diadem of half black, half scarlet roses, divided in the middle by a wave of rich black lace.

To sum up our general information on this point: the brims of bonnets are high, and the trimming mostly disposed on or near the top, but by no means so stiffly as ordinary taste would place this dangerous style of orna

ment.

Black lace and blonde are both used on capes, which are only moderately deep and slightly pointed. A half cap of thulle and blonde comes in all the best French bonnets, the flowers being arranged in a diadem, set in lightly, and without formal stiffness as to the largest being exactly in the middle. They are usually softened by waves of blonde or black lace. Strings from five to six inches wide, and a full yard long, tied under the chin.

To go on with walking-dress, we may notice the vain attempts of Brodie to induce our ladies to wear their cloaks of the length now really the style. He has shortened them all that the popular taste will allow, and has succeeded in showing one-half at least of the lower trimming of the dress skirt. Dull as the season has been, his rooms are always well filled, and Pennsylvania Avenue displays more of his styles than ever before, as well as Broadway and Chestnut Street.

We note among the favorite cloaks a large loose sacque, much like the old Raglan pattern so universally popular, except that the sleeves are the Mousquetaire instead of the full Oriental, and not carried up to the neck, but set in to the sleeve. This may be called the most popular cloak of the season, being made in all materials, from plush to velvet. To describe one of them, in an entirely new material, a kind of Astrachan cloth, of a peculiarly soft tint, formed by diamond-shaped tufts, of pale brown and white, on a mode cloth ground. The sacque has no seam behind, quite loose from the figure, the front breadths have a binding stitched on, and lap over the back of the sacque slightly, being fastened by a new style of buttons about the size of an eagle; they are a silvery steel in effect, and are called metallique. The same buttons run along the Mousquetaire cuff and fasten the front to the waist. Collar small and neat in shape, with only a stitched binding.

Sacque of chinchilla cloth; a thick woollen velvet, soft gray and black, as its name denotes. It is trimmed with small patées of crochet and jet in place of buttons. Pointed pockets in front.

Sacque of cloth, the side seams running back, having the appearance of a flat plait (an inch wide) corded on each side, and trimmed, as are the sleeves, with patées of crochet, in the shape of linked rings, of flat silk, surrounded by lace or crochet.

Even in the richer materials-velvet, piqué, or silk Marseilles-this inevitable shape meets us, though we note a very elegant pardessus of Marseilles (a thick silk fabric, with a lozenge figure, woven like Marseilles vestings, the outside black, the lining violet), made to fit the figure, with a round cape coming nearly to the waist.

The best and newest cloak exhibited by Brodie is quite plain on the shoulders, fitting closely. The fulness of the cloak is set in at about the depth of a yoke, in three plaits, pointed at the top, and these points edged by trimming, a handsome crochet ornament on the centre one; the plaits are confined by a loop of braid at the waist. The sleeves are flowing, an excellent shape, and set into the shoulder in three plaits to correspond with the back.

One more, and we are done. A cloak with a real yoke, the fulness set in in plaits. The yoke is covered by a gored cape, scalloped on the edges; a bouquet of passementerie is the centre ornament, and patées are added in the scollops. The cape is tippet-shaped in frout, terminating in pointed, and forming fanciful pockets.

We regret being compelled to defer completing our street dress by a notice of Genin's furs until our next. "Worsted armor," as Dickens calls all fanciful knitting for children, was never more popular than now. At Reynold's, Canal Street, we were shown an entirely new style of knit tippet, in the shape of the fur collars so much worn, and an excellent imitation. The collar is knit of a ribbed stitch, pointed and edged with a soft ruche of worsted in colors. Their knit and woven hoods for children are in the most brilliant shades, black and Magenta, black and blue, etc., for older children, and have most comfortable capes. For very little ones, white and pale blue, white and pink, etc. etc.

For school-boys this establishment makes great use of a deep gray shade for turban-shaped felt hats, soft and warm for the season; seasoned square hats, with round brims, and flat cloth caps, half military.

At Taylor's new establishment, Broadway, we find the Godenski caps for boys, the most stylish of all the worsted caps of the season. It has a flat round crown in "orange-peel" figure on a plain ground, a ruche and earlappets of two colors, and a handsome cord and tassel falling low to the shoulder. For instance, a white cap for a baby boy, lined with white silk, the figures rosettes in the ruche and lappets of pale blue. Chinchilla ground, gray and white for a boy of three, dark maroon, black, or green figures, etc. The lappets are united under the chin by an elastic band. "The Godenski" is also the hat adopted for ladies' skating costume, which reminds us of the Balmoral hose, also intended for this sport. They are to be had at the same place, and are in rounds of half an inch or so, of black and Magenta, black and blue, etc. etc. Imagine the distinguished appear ance of a young lady with Balmoral boots, bright Balmoral petticoats, and still brighter Balmoral hose, on a rainy day, in Broadway or Chestnut Street!

Godey has arrived-everything is to pay-took the Book home-at dinner time-Book took up so much time-we had no supper till the next day-everybody at our house to look at the pictures, ten quires of newspapers cut up into patterns from Godey already, and the end is not yet.— Union and Democrat, La Crosse.
