LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS.

LATEST PARIS GOWNS. The sketches which M. Mars has made fur us this week represent some of the newest and smartest gowns to be seen at the present moment in Paris. The first is a pretty travellingdress (A) in steel grey faille, bordered with white galons, and trimmed with white embroidered designs. The bonnet is green velvet, leaving the hair visible on the top. In the next sketch (B) you see a nice ‘ at home ’ gown in navy-blue wool, trimmed with surah galons in leather and cherry red squares, cut as designed. A eharming outdoor coat (C) was seen at the Bois, made entirely in thick, long-haired pale cacliou woollen stuff, trimmed with sleeves and revers in ebestnut boucle. The bonnet is arranged to match. 1 n figure Dwe find a capital idea for a fancy ball—a novel travelling dress. The wearer could call herself ‘ Mdllc. Lender.’ It is made in chaudron and. green Scotch tartan surah, with short sleeves. The ceinture and collar, as well as the under petticoat, are in plain chaudron faille. The hat is arranged to correspond. Mdle. Jeanne May in ‘ Une Perle’ at the Renaissance Theatre wears in the second act a successful dress (E) in pale brick-coloured bengaline trimmed with darker embroideries and velvet applique designs. The jabot is of white crepe lisse. Mdle. Jane May, in the Hist act of the same piece, wears a dress in white satin proclie, with a front part of crepe de chine, trimmed with silver and silk Greek designs. The front part of the bodice is covered with silk gauze. This would make a pretty evening dress. [This was inadvertently printed in our number of the 30th of August. ]
