GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

Walking dress pantaloons of corded cambrie, trimmed round the bottom with lace or fine muslin; a smooth frock dress of the same material is much admired; the novelty of this dress (though several made their appearance in the No. IV. Vol. I,

Gardens last Sunday) was not so conspicuous, as trains of thin muslin were worn over to disguise, in some measure, the singularity of its effect.

Equal striped cambric muslins are coming into fashion for morning dresses, which are made high in the neck, with elastic fronts, long sleeves, no train but fluted round the bottom. It is no longer considered mauvais ton to dress in the forenoon; our élégantes appear as much so at that time as they formerly did at Ranelagh.

Mantles of various shapes and forms still continue the rage, but the most prevalent are those with hoods trimmed with coloured ribbands.— Spensers of straw coloured and pale pink in the Turkish style are much worn, and have a very graceful appearance.

Pale blue, yellow, and lilac muslin scarfs, with black Egyptian borders, are much in fashion.

A barouche hat of diamond or split straw, trimmed with extreme broad ribband. Never were straw hats so much in vogue as at this moment, it would be impossible to describe their various forms; every élégante wishes to have a straw hat according to her own gout; the mob straw hat, tied under the chin, and ornamented with a lace trimming, is a very novel straw hat, and appears to be confined to the higher classes of élégantes.

The trencher hat is much approved of, and will become very fashionable. Yeoman, or doom crowns, may also be classed amongst the most novel fashions.

Sarsnet bonnets of every description are now more worn than ever by our most elegant fe males; amongst the variety of shapes we have recently observed several in the style of Mary Queen of Scots, they are particularly be coming.
