STATEN ISLAND, since the discovery of Hendrck
Hudson, has never been gay and fashionable as
during the present The bcaM monde since
they took up their residence Brighton, have made
several very important discoveries in natural history,
geography, mneralogy, and geology. They have
been exploring the whole island. Its picturesque

some fine little lakes aleo-but above oil the pctu-
rescue hills are sufficient to enrapture naturalist
II The style of dress at Brighton during the pre-
sent season, is uncommonly simple and elegant.
The season began with simple calico hop, now
grown up into gay ball, but the elegant simplicity
of ts origin at oil forgotten. At first the dra-
perry was of light colors. These have been varied
with pure white, simple ribbons and the hair
arranged on the classical models On only one or two
occasions have there been any thing like approach
to the gorgeous decorations Of 1896. The young la
dies have maintained the taste and style in spite
of the eclaf which now follow their movements in the
gay world To of them, this is their first sea-
son-to others their last-for we anticipate much
execution before the month Of September has past
and gone These balls have not reached their highest
fame. They are still going up.
EcoSomIcAt-Smalls eeves-the fashion Of the
day-are quite economical. Formerly, on a change
of fashion il was necessary to have new dress. Not
so now. All that is required is simply to reduce the
old large sleeves to the present proportions, and the
lovely girls are in the fashion ct half delar apiece
