bright wiog oi' some tropical bird. Bui now a ehtnge ooraes o'sr ths spirit of our dream; all eod-colourod fabrics have token a buck eeaf, and (he most hrilliani-hued materials are in vosue. You may wear anything you like, danr laoiee, yellow and red, blue aud amber aiix-;d; t'no more its mixed the more •ushioaablo it will be. The stores are worth looking at, thny being all dreeßed out in the "latest," which in dress jjoods ia s.stin shaded in stripes, yellowp, reds, blues, greece, exqui&ite to look Uvon, but vulgar to wca*". The oooJe of drees ia gui c oL-faaLioaed, but, ihen, history repeats itself, why not •irea; ? For young people Bailor or Garibaldi suits are worn, a plain ekirt, with a norrow bos pleating around it, and a Garibaldi waist, falling over, ac you know, having only a piece of elastic to conline it at ibe waist, ia aim pie and pretty; in blue flannel trimmed witb fthite braid it, is quite ' nobby." Other dresses are made with round akirts, thai is, naiuus goree; these are tucked about six tuck?, Bay The fckirt is shirred or gathered twelve times round the waist, and the bodice is made full with a band. A pretty dress is (like one 1 am now mtkiog) of black twilled flannel The ekirt is perfectly plain, of ibe tltuncl; round ihe bottom is a deep box pleating of black satin; the polonaise is oaaclo tight, the front turoeJ back with catin; aud the back is straight pleats; the whole trimmed with bugle trimming. No more loopings in the back, every, thing U perfectly plain. Skirta trimmed, with velvet jackets, are alto in favour. Hats — ob, now I come to j iha crowning pomt — iiata are rouid or " poke," or aoy shape you likt } but it is a sine qua non thut round your bat you plttoo a wreath of flowerß — 0! re 1 , yellow, pink, cream, all mixed. hit me see; yea, it takes thirty manycolourei roses (no leavee) or poppiee to t im a fashionable hat. a string of buds failing from the back. Then s:ailet bonnets are quite the style. Fancy a scarlet boonet ! as wtll wear b " ect rlfct letter," but th.ere they are, on old and young. Also it is correct to wear a black dress with aa enormous bow of scarlet at ooe Bide of the waist — in ffiof, covering the abdomen almost — and another at the neck, A nsck bouquet is made of six large roses, and the same covers the whole eiie of your thrca!. Dress in yellow and red tod you cannot go astray. I wouldn't do it myself, but, then, I'm only a poor newspaper hack, wbo would never dare to rig myself out like a parrot . lett I should be stoned to death, or poßfcible the boviness on Californiaetreet might gore me. Parasols are still Japanese, every color under the sun, and fans follow suit. Altogether a tropical bird might well be pardoned for lighting enywhere about the town aud considering himself amongst his fellows. And Bf.er tbis description who on yoar aide will ever doubt the S9x_of__^Silver Pen ? " _
