THE LATEST FASHION NOTES FROM PARIS.

(By a Parisian Expert,)

PARIS, Jai yi uj. The busy season of the dresan>.w • ! ; na3 not yet ended, and the wottw"" the fashionable estahUshmenb^? 8 * ' flowing with billowy staffs. tw, 0 *"" very lovely this season, thwe im *" ' materials. Even the woollensIL??? on an exaggerated eheemeee ud Jz? :S ness; and, though the tweedsandu!' ? dred tailor stuffs retain their etui* silks, chiffons, mohairs, and BheerT? , are as numerous in the tailors , w * > rooms as the time-honoured tweed, ' ■serges. i **& j Among the handsomest linoerio «J., ' there are many models in^to-^ , work embroidery on handkerchief v 5 *"" or even heavier linen, made frS fashion over undcr-robes or petticoeST, Valenciennes, or of sheer linea OiUm«J and Valenciennes.

DAIXTY LINGERIE. Linen and lace lingerie bloaeee, n easily laundered, and so daintyin! jj, openings of jackets, are enjoying a Hat return to favour. Fine Irish ant Ja* bees are, with Valenciennes, the ftmm tie trimming for these blouses. ]V jabots are finely pleated and always w, deep. The collar is the most imported item in the lingerie blouse, gbineitti, true touch of refined elegance. In ortt; to endure its freshness, manyy.-woaa have the collars and the jabota made m> independently, thus allowing an- an change when a collar has lost ita immae. late 'freshness. Every time them colhn are laundered, the little whalebone nmj bo removed and replaced afterwmnb. It is advisable to add at the topvbortc of white satin, which is softer andnon becoming than the harsh whrtewn of linen.

If the collars are in cream or ochre lace, white satin is replaced by a narrow little black velvet ribbon, or a band ot biack tulle, say about three eentimrtra deep, ia prettily effective on the edge of Valenciennes, Brussels, Irish or Medilis lace jabots.
