UNDERLINEN.
Even the petticoat bodices, now known by the name of •' cache corset," have beautiful insertion let in, and deep edg''ng3 of lace, and are made in silk as well as in muslin, though this is often of no consequence whatever, a 9 little is seen except the lace and the insertion. A great many are made in the bolero shape, and the more beautiful and extravagant the sprays become the more demand there is for these articles of attire. Nightgowns closely resemble a loose toagown, trimmed, as they are, with deep square capes of lace and insertion held in place by rosettes of trimming. The cut of the sleeves and the bodice portion, and the elaborate definement of the waist, exactly follow the fashion of our dresses. Many are made in the most filmy silks and muslins, Maltese lace, torchon, and Valenciennes all finding favour. This year the imitation laces are so perfect that it would require a connoisseur to detect them. This especially applies to the Valenciennes.
