Morning Dress.
        A round dress, composed of mull muslin.  The body is high; the back full; and the front adorned with work, let in on each side of the bust.  The skirt is gored, and finished at the bottom with several small tucks, which are terminated by a flounce of rich scalloped work, set on full.  The spenser worn with this dress is composed of ethereal blue gros de Naples; it is tight to the shape; and the waist is of a moderate length; a small pelerine collar falls over; and is very full trimmed with plaitings of net.  The long sleeve is of an easy fullness, and is tastefully finished with an epaulette, composed of two rows of shells, of the same material; they are formed by satin rouleaux.    Full lace ruff.  Head-dress, the Clarence bonnet; we refer to our print for the shape; it is composed of white gros de Naples;  the edge of the brim is finished by full fall of lace, surmounted by a plaiting of net; a full plume of ostrich feathers falls over the right side.  Blue kid shoes; white gloves; and small French ridicule.
 
Evening Dress.
A white lace round dress over a white satin slip.  The body is cut very low all round the bust, which is ornamented, in the pelerine style, with falls of lace; the sleeves are composed of net and satin, formed into puffs by small bows of white satin; the lower part is finished by a quilling of net.  The skirt is trimmed with three flounces of white satin lace; the two lower ones are surmounted by a very novel and elegant trimming, composed of white satin.  The hair is disposed in light curls on each side of the face; the hind hair is dressed in full bows, which are intermixed with roses and convolvuluses.  Necklace and ear-rings, pearl.  White kid gloves; and white figured-silk shoes.
