THE "LONDON AND PARIS LADIES' MAGAZINE" is now in its TWENTY-NINTH VOLUME. From its commencement it has steadily increased in the favour of the Public, and notwithstanding the moderate price at which it is published, it holds a foremost position amongst the Fashionable Periodicals of the day. This, it must be evident, can only be accomplished by the returns of its large circulation; and, while thus encouraged in their labours, the proprietors pledge themselves to spare neither pains nor expense to merit the patronage so liberally bestowed. Intending Subscribers are respectfully informed that, to prevent disappointment, all orders for the ensuing number should be forwarded on or before the 24th of the month. TO ADVERTISERS. "THE LONDON AND PARIS LADIES' MAGAZINE" has a large and steadily-increasing circulation in the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and America, and offers peculiar advantages as an advertising medium to al those who administer to the necessities or luxuries of the fairer portion of the public. Unlike newspapers and publications of an ephemeral or purely literary character which are either torn up or shelved as soon as read, this Magazine remains during the intervals of its publication in the show-rooms of the fashionable milliner, the work-room of the practical modiste, and the boudoir of the lady of walth, continually referred to, and continually under the eye of precisely that class of customers which it is presumed to be most the inteest of advertisers to attract. It is requested that all communications may be post-paid, and addressed to THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD. These famous Pills are expressly combined to operate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting any derangement in their functions, purifying the blood, the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease in all its forms. GENERAL DEBILITY-ILL-HEALTH. Many of the most despotic Governments have opened their Custom Houses to the introduction of these Pills, that they may become the medicine of the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this medicine is the best remedy ever known for persons of delicate health, or where the system has boen impaired, as its invigorating properties never fail to afford relief. FEMALE COMPLAINTS, No Female, young or old, should be without this celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the monthly courses at all periods, acting in many cases like a charm. It is also the best and safest medicine that can be given to children of all ages, and for any complaint; consequently no family should be without it.

December 27th, 1855. THE dresses on which bands of elvet are placed perpendicularly, are becoming more nunrous; a great variety is observable in this style of trimmin equally used on taffetas, moire, and satin. These ornament are equally adapted for the bodies, where they are placed inthe gerbe form, from the shoulders, and they cross the bouillanès of the sleeves; on high bodies these bands of velvetare continued from the shoulder to the bottom of the skirtwithout interruption at the waist-excepting that they becon narrower and widen to the bottom of the skirt and at the shelders; the sleeves with double or triple sabots are those mossuitable to these trimmings, each sabot being separated ba band of black velvet. Sometimes these bands are merely fot, arranged entablier on the skirt. Taffetas is as much usednow as at any other season, both for morning and eveningvear; for the latter it is ornamented with blond, flowers, ribons, all the etcs. of dress; and for the more useful toilets, velvet, black lace, and fringes, gives the richness requid in winter dresses. Satin is now also used for the dressesornamented with the bands of velvet perpendicularly placed and edged with lace, droguets, brocasts, and gros de Tou are preferred for flounced dresses. Shaded materials and tissues camaix are much in request; also pekins brochis; shaded popenes are very pretty, and taffetas camaieux. Many walking dresses are in stripes velvet and satin, moire and velvet, brocalette and velvet. Moire antique is a material now so much in use that robes f home negligè are made of it, for which purpose they are de of gray moire, with a single flounce half the depth of th skirt, edged and headed by a ruche of ribbon of the same olour, piped with pink and plisse à la vieille; a loose jacket bdy trimmed with frill to match the flounce, loose sleeves to he elbow, terminating with frills; the jacket was left pen, shewing a chemisette of the waistcoat form, made of lenciennes insertions and embroidery. Very pretty dresses re made of black VOL. 29. taffetas of very rich silks, with three flounces covering the skirt; at the bottom of each flounce was a band of black taffetas, gauffered in festons, rising up the flounce, and bordered by small ruche of ribbon of black gauze; the same trimming ornamented the basque of the body, and also the berthe, forming a small pelerine, rounded before and behind two large bouillonnèes, terminating with a frill, as those on the skirt compose the pagoda sleeve. The real Cambray laces are very much used on winter toilettes; they are placed in double flounces on silk materials, and they form the prettiest trimming for manteaux, casaques, and basquines of velvet; very pretty mantilles are also made with trimmings of similar designs; they are very narrow on the shoulders and reach to the waist, trimmed with a frill, nearly half a yard deep, some being even deeper. These are very elegant on white dresses, when the corsages are low; the fichu Ristori is of similar description, made of white or black tulle, and rounded to take the form of the low dress, reaching behind to the waist, with long ends in front, crossing at the waist; they are trimmed with very deep lace behind, narrowing towards the front, having the effect of a berthe, composed of a double row of lace, covering the back and sleeves, and forming drapery in front; some, instead of crossing, meet at the waist with a noeud. For young persons these are pretty, made of plain tulle trimmed with a ruche of tulle or ribbon. The mixture of black and white is still seen, dresses of white tulle or taffetas are ornamented by flounces of black lace, intermixed with noeuds of coloured velvets. Basquines (jackets) of black velvet cloth are worn of a morning with skirts of alpaga popeline, or even moire when of a dark colour; those of black cloth braided or embroidered in black or violet silk are very pretty, with skirts of violet moire without trimming, but laid in full plaits, which should be flat and form double flutes, enlarging towards the bottom, giving much grace to the skirt; some cloth basquines are ornamented with triple rows of small buttons round the basque. The trimmings of galons are in great variety, whether of velvet or plush, either plain, shaded, or of mixed colours, harmonizing with the most fashionable materials; they are put on flounces, or in several rows on plain skirts, giving an elegant appearance to the toilette. Droguets of silk and of worsted, termed droguets mosaic, as well as cloth in various shades of gray, as made now, are much used for children. For little girls' frocks of droguet à disposition with basquine of velvet cloth, with double face, outside gray, inside blue, white, or green, form pretty costumes for their little neglige toilettes, completed by a pink or white satin quilted bonnet, with noeud of plush or terry velvet, and inside a half wreath formed of loops of velvet. For more elegant toilettes, they wear frocks of coloured plush ornamented with stamped black velvet. A little talma or cape accompanies these dresses, also of plush, with chenille fringe and velvet trimming, narrower than that on the dress. Fur also forms a favourite ornament for children: squirrel is fashionable for them, as also chinchilla, ermine, and swans'-down; but it is only with velvet that it is used; but as a general rule we may observe, that the fashions for children are only those of their mothers in a reduced style. Flounces to the waist, double skirts, etc. Now is the reign for furs; trimmings, muffs, and entire pardessus are made of it. An elegant manteau, named the Raglan, is composed of velvet bordered with marten fur, and ornamented by brandenbourgs of gimpe. Ermine is used on the more elegant mantelles for brides, and round the jackets of young ladies; whilst bands of sable or marten, varying from wide bands to narrow ones, ornament the different manteaux. Besides the talmas or capes, basquines and paletots, many manteaux are of the burnous form, as worn by the Arabs; they are generally made of thick warm cloths, and when neither spotted nor checked, they have a trimming made of a band of plain cloth, either lighter or darker in the same colour as the cloak. Sometimes this band is checked or spotted. Large square shawls are also made of cloth, for negligé or travelling, in plain gray marron, or dark blue, the ends having a deep border imitating ermine. Large velvet shawls are also worn with the point rounded behind, and hollowed out at the throat, so as to require no plait; they are embroidered in silk, chenille, and bugles, and trimmed with a rich deep chenille fringe. Rolondes of velvet, similarly embroidered, are also fashionable, and basquines of velvet are worn by young ladies, either black, marron, or dark blue trimmed with guipure. Some are almost covered by lace, having double frill of lace on the basque, three rows on the sleeves, and one round the pelerine, and when worn with one of the skirts striped with velvet are very elegant; but bands of fur are much approved on these basquines. Marron is again fashionable this winter in every kind of toilette, particularly in the pretty winter bonnets; some, of marron velvet, have the fronts and crowns made of three or four biais of different shades of velvet; on each side were small plumes, shaded of the same tints as the velvet; inside are pink or blue flowers, mixed with white blond. These bonnets of graduated shades are pretty in every colour; some are in shades of darkest blue to the lightest, or in greens; some are with black lace between each biais of velvet, a wider one falling on the bavolet. Black is still used, even with white, for bonnets; for young persons, some of white Terry velvet, with biais, have been ornamented by black velvet and black lace; the noeud of Terry velvet placed above the bavolet was encircled by black velvet and lace; the trimmings are still placed very forward on the fronts; sometimes the flowers seem almost to mix with those of the cap; and the bavolets are both wide and full. Bonnets formed of biais of two shades of brown velvet are very pretty, ornamented by small plumes of feathers of the lighter colour, placed at the sides near the bavolet; rosaces of black, intermixed with loops of velvet; the colour of the bonnet, with these trimmings, form pretty ornaments.
