FINE HEAD OF HAIR.

It may with truth be averred, that

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has, from its intrinsic worth, enjoyed an unexampled extent of celebrity and patronage during the last half century, and is universally appreciated for its remarkable virtues in promoting the growth of and beautifying the Human Hair. This mild yet powerful renovator insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the hair in its embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; so that in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has effected a complete retoration of beautiful hair. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Moustachios, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary. In dressing the hair, nothing can equal the effect of Rowlands' Macassar Oil, on either natural or artificial hair, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, producing beautifully flowing curls, and, by the transcendent lustre it imparts, rendering the head-dress truly enchanting. A small pamphlet accompanies each bottle of Rowlands' Macassar Oil, wherein important hints and advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy, and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial patronage of Her Majesty the QUEEN, the COURT, and the whole of the ROYAL FAMILY of Great Britain, and of every COURT of the civilized world; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits. Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 218. CAUTION.

On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine S ROWLANDS' article are these words, in two lines,

MACASSAR OIL. The same are engraved on the back of the Wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing nearly 29,028 letters.

PREMATURE BALDNESS.-Mr. J. Sergeant, Bookseller, of Linton, Cambridge, has made public a curious case of a young man, named Haylock, of Ashdon, whose hair came off entire, from some very unaccountable cause, and left him in a state of premature baldness. He purchased from Mr. Sergeant several popular preparations, which he applied, but without any effect whatever. At last, however, he made trial of the Macassar Oil of Messrs. Rowlands, of London, and exhibited to the most incredulous the proof of its efficacy in a thick crop of hair. Mr. Sergeant permits a reference to him on this very interesting fact.-John Bull.

INTERESTING FACT. The following singular and authentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy of observation, more particularly as it relates to an article of high and universal repute during the last half century. Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen-street, Soho, had been quite bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induced to try the effects of "Rowlands' Macassar Oil," and after daily applying it for about two months, he, much to his gratification, had his hair quite restored, and now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require comment.-Bell's Weekly Messenger.

ROWLANDS' EUPLYSIA,

BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,

An Oriental Botanical Preparation, perfectly free from all mineral or metallic admixture. It is distinguished for its extremely bland, purifying, and soothing effects on the Skin; while, by its action on the pores and minute secretory vessels, it expels all impurities from the surface, allays every tendency to inflammation, and thus effectually dissipates all redness, tan, pimples, spots, freckles, discolourations, and other cutaneous visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek, the softness and delicacy which it induces of the hands and arms, its capability of soothing irritation and removing cutaneous defects, render it indispensable to every toilet.

A Preparation from the choicest Oriental Herbs, of peculiarly mild and detersive properties. It pleasingly and effectually cleanses the Hair and Skin of the Head from scurf and every species of impurity, and imparts a delicate fragrance. It is particularly recommended to be used after Bathing, as it will prevent the probability of catching cold in the head, and will render the hair dry in a few minutes. It entirely supersedes the necessity of using the fine comb, so injurious to the tender skin of the head; and from its beneficial effects on the health, together with the grateful and refreshing sensation it imparts, and being perfectly innocent in its nature, will prove an invaluable appendage to the Toilet, and the purposes of the Nursery.-Price 2s. 6d. per bottle.

The constant and persevering use of this invaluable medicament preserves and invigorates those important functions of the skin on which depend its purity and softness-the hands and arms assuming and retaining the radiant whiteness so much admired, and affording so unequivocal a mark of attention to the niceties of the toilet, and the graces of personal attraction. To ladies during the period of nursing, and as a wash for infants, it cannot be too strongly recommended.

Gentlemen, after shaving, will find it allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant.

During the heat and dust of summer, or frost and bleak winds of winter, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged. Its purifying and refreshing qualities have obtained its exclusive selection by Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe, together with the élite of the Aristocracy, from the sultry climes of India to the frozen realms of the Czar. CAUTION.-Spurious "KALYDORS" are frequently offered for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by their repellant action endangering bealth. It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the words "ROWLANDS' KALYDOR" are on the Wrapper, and "A. ROWLAND & SONS, 20, HATTON GARDEN," also engraved (by desire of the Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle.-Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d.

PEARLY SET OF TEETH.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO,

OR PEARL DENTIFRICE, a WHITE POWDER, compounded of the choicest and most recherche ingredients of the Oriental Herbal, of inestimable value in preserving and beautifying the Teeth, strengthening the Gums, and in rendering the breath sweet and pure. It extirpates all tartarous adhe sions to the Teeth, and insures a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence; they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness; while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment, and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication. It speedily removes those ravages which children sustain in the Teeth, owing to the improper use of sweet and acid articles.

Its preserving and beautifying properties have obtained the patronage of the several Courts and the Aristocracy throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is held.-Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.-The Government stamp, as on the "Kalydor," is affixed on each box.

ROWLANDS' AQUA D'ORO,

The most fragrant and refreshing Perfume ever yielded by the "SOULS OF FLOWERS," combining the spirituous essences and essential Properties of the most esteemed and valuable exotic flowers and plants, without any one being in the ascendant. It retains its fresh and delightful odorousness for days. The rich aroma of this elaborately distilled perfume is gently stimulating to the nerves, it relieves the head, invigorates the system, and taken as a cooling beverage (diluted with water), in cases of lassitude or fatigue, it is found most cordial and restorative in its effects. Gentlemen, after smoking, by rinsing the mouth with a small quantity, will find it restore the breath to sweetness and purity. It is a valuable accompaniment to the toilet and the bath, and is therefore an essential requisite to all persons of taste and fashion.-Price 38. 6d. per bottle.

N.B.-A Golden Fountain of the AQUA D'ORO was exhibited at the Crystal Palace.

OUR FRENCH CORRESPONDENT.
BOULEVARD DES ITALIENS,
May 28th, 1852.

CHERE AMIE, ACCORDING to rumours afloat, there is an inclination to shorten the waists of bodies, and to terminate them with a waistband all round, which is covered by a sash with long floating ends; this style has not, however, become sufficiently established to influence in any way the make of the present season, as the bodies continue to be made with points more or less marked both before and behind; the top of the body is rounded at the corners, and low enough in front to render a chemisette indispensable; the ornaments are mostly formed of noeuds of ribbon in graduated sizes, and one on the top of the sleeve which it nearly covers; another pretty manner of trimming these bodies à la Watteau and Pompadour, is with' rosettes of very narrow ribbon, which nearly cover the centre-piece; the dresses with transversal lines generally have the bodies made a little full into a band, or of the Grecian form, whilst those of thicker material and general useful wear continue with the veste or jacket body, requiring the waistcoat, which has too many admirers to be easily abandoned. Ribbon appears to be the favourite trimming this season for dresses, and alternates between the two extremes, from the widest to the very narrowest, which is used in profusion in various ways, sometimes fulled in the centre when of gauze, and put on in a Grecian pattern on flounces, the jacket of the body and sleeves of course similarly ornamented; there are various ways in which this ribbon can be introduced with good effect sometimes up the centre of a redingote, they are in fact the novelty of the season; trimmings of stamped velvet in open patterns are also used instead of plain velvet, and have a pretty effect on the edge of flounces of plain taffetas. Negligé dresses or redingotes of poplin are trimmed with velvet ribbons of a different colour. Barège dresses this season, as well as clear muslins, are much worn, with the patterns adapted to each part of the dress, or, as they are termed, à disposition; and many of these skirts, whether of barège, silk, or muslin, are worn with veste bodies or cannezous of embroidered muslin,

flounces of silk dresses with plaid or other ribbon, or silk, gives the effect of the dresses à disposition.

White seems the prevailing colour for evening dress, ornamented on the skirt with flowers, or several skirts, or covered with flounces, giving a light and airy appearance so suitable to the texture of the favourite materials; the bodies are generally pointed before and behind; the sleeves short, some a little puffed out, of tulle, crape, or tarlatane; many of the short sleeves are worn with a lace or insertion extending a little below, matching the chemisette. Tulle dresses ornamented with bunches of rosebuds are very elegant; nothing is more elegant than the folds of tulle, intermixing with flowers; bows of ribbon with long ends are very fashionable, placed on the shoulder, the ends reaching to the waist behind; clear muslin dresses have the flounces sometimes edged by plaid ribbon, the double berthe of the body similarly trimmed, and bows with ends of ribbon on the shoulders falling behind halfway down the skirt, and the centre-piece of the body covered by five bows of ribbon. Dresses of clear muslin are very pretty, having the skirt covered by flounces of progressive width, worn with veste bodies of any light-coloured taffetas, trimmed with ruches of the same.

There is some attempt in Paris to return with the shortwaisted bodies to the gored skirts, leaving the front part quite plain at the waist; and of course in character is the tight long sleeve, with small upper one at the shoulder; we think it will take some time to accustom us to this change; but as such was actually the fashion during the empire of Napoleon, should that be restored, who knows but its fashions will also be adopted? Another body spoken of is entirely on the cross or bias, and requires no gores, quite plain except at the shoulders, where there is a little fullness; the bodies of plain useful dresses are high or open in front, with or without lappets.

Little girls' frocks are with flounces, sometimes edged by a very narrow fringe; the bodies seem to be preferred open and laced, or confined by bands across, showing a little white boddice under; they also have their veste bodies and waistcoats; some of their frocks imitate the transversal stripes on flounces, &c. by means of velvet or narrow ribbons; their bonnets are either of the capote form, as their mamma's, or the large straw hat of fine Tuscan, much trimmed with ribbon.

Outdoor costume at this season is much inquired about, and is always so various in its kind that it would be difficult

mantilles are round behind and rather low in on the shoulders, the silk not extending below the waist, trimmed with two rows of wide lace, one entirely covering the silk from the throat. Others are trimmed with ribbon à la vieille, alternately placed with guipure and fringe; some of a more negligé form are quite closed, trimmed with three rows of guipure and fringe, and three rows of velvet between each; others of the shawl form are rather original with their trimmings of rich fringe, headed by bands of plaid velvet; some are with hoods and trimmed with wide velvet and guipure fringe; bugles are also not abandoned, and shawl scarfs of filet are very suitable for the approaching season, many are embroidered in colours. Silk mantelets without lining are much in demand as the season advances, in pink, blue, or green, with or without hoods. Many of the mantelets preserve the name, and consequently the forms familiar to us; narrow velvets and black lace form favourite trimmings.

The form of bonnets this season is very open, quite encircling the face, and meeting under the chin with an inclination à la Marie Stuart on the forehead; they require rather a full cap or trimming inside; the very open straws are universally worn, but many are made of bands of straw, crin intermixed with blond ribbon and flowers; the half kerchief on the crown is sometimes of one thing, sometimes of another, or may be entirely of straw; the very narrow ribbons are also in vogue for the inside of bonnets in what are called butterfly bows, and are intermixed amongst the flowers or blond. Leghorns and open straws are trimmed with rich checked ribbons, and have the double brides, or strings, we named in a former Number, wide ones pendant and narrower to tie the bonnet. The capotes of tulle and crape lisse bouillonné have ornaments of straw between each bouillon, or ruche, of narrow blond, ornamented inside by showy flowers or loops of ribbon in every colour. The difference between bonnets of open straw or mohair and those of lace of the same material is, that the former are made without join, whilst the latter admit of being fulled as blond. One peculiarity of the present season is in ornamenting the brims or edges of bonnets with small sprigs of delicate flowers interspersed with the blond or tulle at intervals; the narrow passementerie ribbons, and the butterfly nœuds, either of blond or ribbon, are quite new. The ribbons this season are particularly rich and handsome; every shade, colour, and style is worn, shaded, edged with fringes of another colour, plaid, or checks, of velvet, or satin, &c.
