LONGCHAHPS.-4 PARIS SKETCH IN APRIL.

"Each returning Longchamps," writes the Paris
correspondent of the Morning Post, "appear" to briag out

to occupy carriages and wear purple and duo linen. The

What a stream of open carriages, overflowing with volumi-
nous gay toilettes, occupied the Parisian woods to-day !
There was not present the beauty of Bottee-row. But
what infinite variety in the female attraction—what taste
in the elaborate toilettes ; and, for those familiar with Pa-
