of their ornamentation. Where ornament is still desired it is usually produced by different applications of the material of the robe itself; this innovation is more particularly remarked in the dresses of what may strictly be regarded as the beau monde, and is in reality a healthy sign. For evening costume white corsages ornamented with lace, and worn either with white muslin skirts or skirts of any other color or material, are very elegant. We have seen entire families dressed in this agreeable manner, from the portly mamma of a certain age down to the pretty demoiselle not yet arrived at her teens. THE ILLUSTRATIONS. Fig. 1. Dress for the Country. — The robe and paletot of this easy and graceful costume are in striped white and gray foulard.

Walking Dress. — White muslin robe, ornamented on the skirt (which is terminated by a rather wide ruching) with embroidered grecques edged with valenciennes lace.

Carriage Dress. — Pale pink moire robe. The camail is of white cashmere, bordered with black lace insertion and a deep Thibet fringe. The hood is ornamented with black insertion without fringe. Straw-hat and feathers. NEW AND BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERY. [From the Home Journal.] We have often remarked the taste which is constantly growing for fanciful needlework and beautiful embroidery on articles both for household use and for ladies' and children's garments. The elegant morning-wrappers worn by ladies at the watering-places this year have been noticeable for their display of elaborate and tasteful work, and the correspondents have particularly dwelt on this topic when writing about dress. A writer in Demorest's Magazine tells us "how it is done." We copy the interesting items, which, we believe, are from the pen of "Jennie June," the celebrated fashion-writer. She says: "The growing appreciation of elegant embroidery, as a means of beautifying and enriching garments and fabrics, is an evidence of increasing refinement in taste which all lovers of the natural, as developed in the artistic, must rejoice to see. Not a little of this interest and appreciation is owing to the new methods of accomplishing the work, rendering it infinitely more effective, as well as greatly abridging the tediousness of the process. A few years ago embroidery was never seen, excepting upon a few articles of clothing or household adornment belonging to the wealthy. Ladies could not even afford to hire it done, so costly was it, on account of the length of time consumed in its production. What their own industry and skill could not achieve in the art of ornamental needlework they were obliged to do without; but so highly prized were the comparatively crude results of the fair and dainty fingers, that the most valued gift a lady could bestow on her lover was a scarf embroidered with her own hands. Could the bright eyes that grew dim during the months, and even years, that were frequently occupied in weaving solemnly - grotesque roses and most alarming leaves on silk or wool, have seen the brilliant and graceful shapes which grow into life with the rapidity of thought, in these later days, through the instrumentality of the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine, they would have looked with disgust upon what had before been a source of such satisfaction, and believed that the magic of the past had been transferred to the future, and, instead of the lamp of Aladdin, found its home in the modern sewing machine. "The facility with which the most difficult and elaborate patterns are executed by this machine, added to the exquisite beauty of the workmanship, has made it the most fashionable of decorations, not only for children's garments and morning-wrappers, but for dresses of rich material, and the finest of carriage and opera cloaks. The carriage-rug of the Princess of Wales, displayed every day in her rides in Hyde Park, is embroidered in white silk in the Grover & Baker stitch, which, according to the Queen and other English fashion journals, is exciting a furore abroad. A great advantage in embroidery is the union of strength and elasticity, for which the sewing of the Grover & Baker machine has always been famous, and which renders it smooth, even, and perfect, without irregularity or liability to rip. Altogether, the Grover & Baker embroidery promises to take a distinguished place in ornamental workmanship abroad as well as at home, and must greatly add to the esteem in which this favorite machine has always been held." Do not Waste your Money buying any of the numerous worthless articles called Gold Pens, which have flooded the market for the last few years, when at lower prices you can get pens which are acknowledged to be the Best in the World. Avoid the shameless Upstarts, whose lack of brains compels them to attempt Imitation, even to the advertisement. If you want the full value of your money, call on A. Morton, 25 Maiden Lane, New York, or inclose stamp for circular. First Premium. — By reference to the list which we publish elsewhere it will be seen that the Singer Sewing Machines (both family and manufacturing) carry off the first premiums from the State Fair which closes to-day. It is worthy of remark that these machines are rarely seen at fairs, and the Singer Company have not entered into the general scramble for premiums which has characterized the past few years. The agent in this city saw fit, however, to come out on this occasion in force; and, notwithstanding the competition was sharp — the Wheeler & Wilson, Grover & Baker, &c., &c., joining in the contest — it was plain to be seen, when the practical tests were applied, that the "plumes" must be handed over to the Singer machines. — Utica Daily Observer.
