TASTE BEFORE ExTRAvAGANcE.-So Somebody
has said that a Partisan grisette, with q little
tulle and ribbon, will conquer. the world, while
anEnglish woman,with all her rshawls, damasks
and diamonds, looks only like an animated
clothes:horse. There is some exaggerasion IN.
this statement lHt more wit. and still more,
truth. The women Of France unquestionabiy
have a better taste, in dresst than those Of Great
Britain or even America. In both our mother
country and this there is too much Of what
may be called /" snobbism'" in female attire.

the incongruity Of the style. &; z. -
A French servant girl even has better Taste.
She knows it is not so much the richness OF
the material, as the way it, is made up, and
the manner in which it is worn, that, gives the:
desired air of f:eiegance. A neat.ft q graceful
bearing, and proper harmony between the
complexion and the colors, has more to do with:
heightening female attraction than-eyep Ameri.s

Many a wife looks prettier, if she would but

future husband, in some simple, unpretending
attire, which, if consulted about, she would
pronounce too cheap except for ordinary wear,
but which, by its accidental suitability to- her
figure, face and carriage, idealses her youth
and beauty wonderfully. If the sex would
study taste in, dress more, and care less for
mere expense, they would have no reason to
regret it. At present. the'extravagance of
American females, in their attire, is proyerbial.

The WHITE VA1L-A beautiful bnt strange
custom prevails among the Japanese, by which
the bride receives disguised sermon as a pre-
sent from her friends. Incur land the bride
frequently receives presents of iewelry aud
dress, but in Japansher friends give her, on her
wedding day,a long white vail. This vail is,
large enough to cover her from head to foot -
After the, ceremony is over, she carefully lays
aside that vail among the things not to be, dis.
turbed. That wedding, vail is at her death to
be her shroud. What wodld our femalesthink
of having their sliroud around them to partaket

The Hartford Times says, Samuel Colt has
received an order from the British GOVERNMENT
to furnish their Baltic feet with 5,0DO Of his
Navy Pistols, as seci, as possible; and he,is
notified that the entire feet is to be fur
nisied with .;hem. The arnory in Hartford
wiIlTbe required to do good portion of this
work, and probably the European orders for
Colts Pistols will be immense. The European
war will cause steady stream of gold to flow
into Colts pockets. Probably ,thsfe is no 9TH
