DESCRIPTION OF STEEL FASHION PLATE FOR FEBRUARY.
_Fig. 1st._--Morning or home-dress, of violet-colored cashmere, embroidered with black, in a new and very elegant style. The basque has deep points, and a trimming to correspond extends up the points and surrounds the sleeves. Chemisette in imitation of a vest pattern; sleeves and cap of Honiton lace.
_Fig. 2d._--Dinner or evening-dress of pale rose-colored watered silk, made perfectly plain, with a tunic skirt end _berthé_ cape of a white brocaded pattern. The hair is arranged in very rich puffs and bands, and dressed with rose-colored plumes falling to the throat.
We give the pattern of a beautiful dressing-gown in needle-work embroidery. It may be done on plain cashmere or merino for winter, or muslin or cambric as a summer dress. It consists of a petticoat and sacque, the latter loose, with flowing sleeves.
CHITCHAT UPON NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY.
February, with its few mild days, is still to be reckoned as one of the winter months by dress as well as the calendar. The shop windows themselves present very few novelties, and the side-walk none at all. The endless varieties of cloaks and mantillas--the Hungarian, the Galeta, the Nabob, the Victoria, the Norma--are still in season, and the winter bonnets, with their profusion of trimming inside and out, will be worn until April. We particularly notice for the benefit of those having a large or expensive stock on hand, the edict of a late foreign fashion journal: _although large collars are the fashion_, it must not be _supposed_ that _small ones are altogether laid aside_. They are still worn with cloth and merino dresses, and for the street, as large ones do not set well over cloaks and mantillas. Plain linen collars and undersleeves are still worn for the street, and travelling, and for the morning.
