orders for number of costumes, a la Turk.
As he has the various styles worn in CONSTANT

two paragraphs on the subject:
THE New CosrUmE.--The excitement on the
subject of female costume is one of the most
remarkable Of the signs of the times, whatever
those signs may portend. The latest move
ment it has developed will take the whole liter
AIRY and fashionable world by surprise, if it does
not fill it with consideration. The papers an
nounce that Mrs. +. Oakes Smith, the poet, nov
elist, dramatist, essayist-the author of "The
Sinless Child" "The Lost Angel" "Woman
and her Needs" &c--and one of the most
gifted, varied, and prolific Of American writer's
will give public lecture on the new costume
at Hope Chapel, next Thursday evening. There
il probably no woman in this country who, in
person, mind, character, and position, is better
fitted to secure the triumph Of the new costume

quences which are supposed TO depend upon its
adoption.
