COUNSELORS AT FASHION.

I have always thought that if ft few " Consulting Dressers " were established in town; it would be an excellent tl'»ng. They should be capableoopi p giving advice on the moat becoming style of dressmaking, colors, and, above a Jl, we suitable shape for the bonnet. The -last v a very important consideration, as nothing is more trying than an unbecoming bonnet. A very well known lady of rank—the bearer of a dncal title, and remarkable for her beauty and taste in dres*—has never to my knowledge changed the shape of her bonnet for the last eight or nine years. Having found the high, or coronet front, the most suitable frame for her face, she adopted it, and has since retained it, allowing of course for certain modifications in the shape of the crown or trimming. I should advise my readers, espe* cially those of an uncertain age, to follow her example, as nothing is more detrimental to good looks than an ungraceful head-dress. It should always be borne in mind that, after the first youth is over, the turn-down front should be abandoned, as nothing liable to cast a shadow on the face is becoming after thirty.—London Majfair.
