oarcrnmaren's DRESS.

There is a variety in the spring patterns of waistcoats chiefly marsella, which material has lately been worked in an unprecedented manner, and which will supersede all other materials for summer wear. Neutral tints and impressed patterns, chiefly small check or flowers, have an unobtru- sive and neat effect.

There is a strong inclination to improve the "pegtop " fashion of trousers, by widening it from the knee downwards, and contracting somewhat the fullness round the hips and thigh. Even in coats there is a gradual contraction of the upper part of the sleeve, and a decided tendency against the extreme fashion of long skirts.

Light tweed and Venetian cloths are materials in vogue, the colours arc the same as those in wear last year.
