There is nothing whatever b.ing made
to remind you of ulsters or stable gar
ments. The faille Francais goes out
surest, its place being taken by the
loveliest pink stuff you evr saw. It
ban no name as vet. It would call it
“B islon fail Is,” in complement to
your people, but that might vex those
m New York. I have just fimshtd a
brown velvet dress for a lady of that
city, on which I have placed 20 000
francs worth of furs I furnish every
thing, and it will be worth nearly
$50,000 when finished As to shapes,
it is rather too early to speak, but the
idea is to make wafty and bright
things, such as could r e worn in Bal
timore on the warmest days. For my
part, I shall be glad when we get back
to the time of loose bodices. Horse
hair paddings were not used when a
woman could breathe in full dress.
I have brought in steels again. They
make a good adju-tment. Of course
there are many Pans ladies who do
dress well at horns, and who wear
pretty robes, pretty slippers, and all
that. This is because they sensibly
change their costumes when they
come from the street, th ir carriage or
the park. _
Plantation Philosophy.
The Century.
If we expect to be happy we must be
busy; it is better to hunt up a hornet’s
next and fight than to be out of a
j >b; no idle mis ever warn happy,
and but few iaie men are innocent
long.
It was never intended that a man
shou'd be perfect on earth; the great
thing is, never to miss the bull's-eye,
but to get a little nearer to it every
tin?.
