LATEST PARTS FASHIONS.

[FROM : OUR OWN CORRESPON/DEinVj ■ : MarchlOi.1 1 Ladies ought never to forget Ih'ere can ,be no elegauce without simplicity, and that false luxury is the worst' of' fashions.^ 1 When trimmings, like the present,' are ; rich and dear, it is better to employ less, but of the first choice. Quality, before quantity. Modest simplicity is neverridiculous, but fake^luxury is often grotesque. By the latter it^ to be understood, robes oyerchargejy^ith bows of outlandish fprm, w cirapea*withou!t r taste, fitting without grace, and displaying an? i .audacious association, of .inharmonious \ colors ; in a word," all that is 'superfluous and incomprehensible.^ 'm.,. a f toilejtte, j <■ A - robe is deficient in taste if it Kave more ! than two colorsjand if jbadly f cut. >J Pdjiffs : are no more' worn in full dress ; the robe 1 , has a long plain train. The eiwra&se l i& I worn either as high' or low bodied ; Hut ■care must be taken respecting the japing, ;to avoid increasing the volume of the | bust." Many ladies overlook'th'ißT essential? • Those who cannot afford expensive trimming, will not.be wrong or out of fashion, jin preferring a plain robe, but cut with {perfect taste. Avoid too much imitations [of white lace, that deceive no one ;' they jare good for jupins and morning peignoirs. Lace in white jet pearls is much in favor still for ball dresses, but it is too beautiful not to become general, and hence unfashionable. For black toilettes, whether •for mourning or otherwise, nothing 'more" ielegant than black jet. For street toilettes, the tunics and polonaises are rio 'longer raised from each side' and behind ; they >re drawn from each side, fastening bejhind, and above the jupe, by means of an 'agraffe, either in steel, old sttyer, , oi£ passementerie, or simply held by , two buttons. The jupe is no longer. draped; ; but falls straight and plain, so that all jfulness is thrown behind, while before and I the sides are very flat. Several,, ladies ,have united to wear this season 1 neiiher jewels, diamonds, nor . head dresses— not 'a flower, an ear-ring, or necklace;; the hair is artistically dressed, and the robe of, extreme elegance.) A. lady presupposes.herself thus to be beautiful. Fproaerly.it was the fashion to wear a hat according to: season and dress ; now street costumes and hats are not so much in harmony. The Carlist hat is. in felt, and of higk 'form, with a natural wing at the B^de^ The Bebehat is raised /behind, and all'

in rose.
