PARIS FASHIONS FOR JULY.

(From the Illustrated Neivs.) The latest and most taking novelty in the shape of materials for outdoor toilettes consists of unbleached linen stuffs of every degree of fineness, from plain orown holland to the finest cambric. Costumes of imbleached Scotch cambric, cambric, or muslin, are made for the country in a plain, simple, jpid inexpensive style; but, when intended for more fashionable wear, they assume a real importance from the lace trimmings wh’ch are abundantly lavished upon them Costumes in unbleached cambric, composed of a short skirt trimmed with of a jupe-pouf, and of a chemissette russe, are trimmed with ruches of taffetta and white lace. A number of muslin dresses, trimmed •With little flounces, plisses, and ruches, are worn. The effect is heightened by the casaque, or little paletot, and the sash being trimmed with Valenciennes. Costumes of light-colored pekin of two shades, entirely trimmed with plisses, are coming into favor, and, when tastefully composed, present a very distingue appearance. Costumes are also made in sultane s tinee, sultane chinee, and Chambery gauze. The pattern is always the same, the trimming alone giving a new aspect to these toilettes. Many costumes have a white under skirt of either barege or some more silken material, and an upper skirt of some bright color, such as blue, green, mauve, salmon, or pink, in poult de sole or taffeta. Llama fringes of a lightness appropriate to the tissue of the dress, and lace insertions upon a ground of satin complete some of these. There are also pretty costumes of striped stuffs with a white or grey ground. The under skirt is of stuff matching the color of one of the stripes, which are composed of several bright tints. Dresses of foulard de I’lnde, trimmed with plaited flounces, have low bodies, which are worn with ornamental braces, passing over a rich corsage of muslin trimmed with lace. Dresses of white silk embroidered with bouquets and edged with a coloured ruche are worn over under skirts of the colour of the ruche, trimmed with a deep phase surmounted by a bouilh'nned. The tight sleeves have very deep and large cuffs. This costume may be completed by a fichu of black lace or by a little pelerine with long ends grossed over the chest and brought behind under the sash. In this case, it is edged by a black or white lace flounce. One also sees robes longues and robes rondes trimmed with a deep flounce cut on the cross, and having three or four large buyantes placed at its head, where they are maintained hy a plain bapd, formed of a biasis of the same colour as the flounce or of a different colour, according to the disposition of the toilette. A costume in unblenched toilc de ITndc, is trimmed with deep chest-nut colored taffeta and Cluny lace. The bottom of the skirt is edged with a deep flounce of Cluny lace arranged en biais, and surmounted by a o' taffta and lace. The second skiriv likewise in toile de I’lnde, is looped up qt each side by a bouilloiuri of taffeta, tcr>

minated by a bow with long ends. The front part of this skirt is trimmed with several rows of narrow Cluny lace, whilst the pouf is fashioned so as to form five progressive bouillonnes divided by little plisses of taffeta. A corsage fichu, having small basques, with rovers of chestnut taffeta edged with Cluny lace, has sleeves trimmed with several bouillonues placed from shoulder to These bouillonutis are separated by little plisses of taffeta. The wrists are trimmed with chest-nut-colored ribbon and Cluny lace. Another costume in grey sultane glace is trimmed round the bottom of the skirt with several biais of tartan taffeta. The second skirt forms a tunic cut away at the sides, in white Algerine tulle, trimmed with a rich white silk fringe, interspersed with tassels of variegated silk of the colors of the tartan. The body has braces of tartan taffeta, edged with the same fringe. The sash is of tartan silk, with ends falling on each side of the tunic.

Milliners are composing black lace bonnet in large numbers for half toilettes. They are trimmed with a diadem of foliage of a warm tint and a hothouse flower, the bridescollier being in lace, wounted upon a roll of black gros grain. Very pretty models are also made with a waved bandeau of Brussels point, upon which a flower is placed. The strengs are of Brussels point, arranged en collier. A chapeau-pouf of grey tulle powdered with silver has a scarf of the same tulle floating behind. In front of the chapeau is a half-wreath of small white roses placed upon a ground of moss and brown leaves. A fanchon bouillonne of smooth rose-colored gauze is trimmed with a high diadem of dark-colored heather, with a dog-rose at the side. The brides collier are in rose-colored plisse gause. Other mode s imitate in some degree the bandeau of the Egyptian co fibre by°means of several graduated folds of white tulle. These folds are fixed by three rich fastenings of pearl beads arranged enfrontnn. The brides-echarpes are of the same tulle. (Jhapeaux-poufs are still made of tulle mousseux, trimmed with a white aigrette and a flower. There are large strings to fasten the bonnet under the chignon. Bonnets of fancy straw have a hollow passe, the bottom of which receives a garland of flowers, accompanied by black lace. They have hrides-collier of lace placed at the edge of a plissd of ribbon of the same colour as the flowers.

A bonnet of white straw and bine silk, has a hollow fronton of tufts of blue tulle interspersed with straw bows. Upon this fronton is placed a garland of May blossoms of charming lightness. Bunches of green wheat-ears mixed with large poppies, from which fall long trains of wild flowers, are very fashionable. They are usually worn upon a narrow passe with taffeta strings of the color of the wheat. The train of wild flowers is still worn over the chignon.
