Paris BoHs,ets.-AHIew York ladywrites to
the Express from Paris, the following descrip-

For children, the hats are very becOming.-
They fare open, and one-half Of the face is en-
cireled by very full ruche Of ribbon and lace,
whereas the other has a lovely wreath of flow
er5 around it. You never see the same trim
ming on 6oih, sides of the face, neither in la
dies nor children's b0nnets. But l VIII give

a separate letter.
Then tie embroideries are so exquislte!-
One never sees real Partisan needle-work for

For pocket hGndkerchieE, there is a store in
the Rue dela Pair, No. IL, where nothing is
sold but "French eambric handkerchiefs, from
one franc to 1900 each," and where they en-
broider your name, or i'coronet or crest" when
YOU have purchased Of them. l find muchOfrs
embroidered in colors, (blue, red and Violetl
are very much used.
The shape Of the hat are queer beyond be-
lief-so narrow in front, and no crown to be
seen; IN fact, they are quite indescribable; but
they are trimmed with lace and velvet entirely,
no matter Of what material the foundation, and
every thing Is black, that is in good taste.
All Paris seems to have gone into mourning
If you ask for a cloak, none are displayed, but
of black velvet, trimmed peofusely with lace or
feathers, or both, the feather trimming is most
thought of-''it is the newest thing and the
alaIltedu must have a good or large collar to it,
trimmed very much also. Then velvet jackets
seem to be indispensable; black, Of course, trim

told 'they are to be worn only at home, or toa
theatre, or to the 0pera C0nJjque not when in

what colors to wear in the street-what in the
evening; AMI white kids are never worn here,
except to balls. Gloves for evening, are made
with two and three buttons at the wrist, and

Now as to prices, find every thing a little
dearer here than in New York; bonnet, for
instance, without feathers or flowers, costs from
90 to 100f; velvet cloak $50, 400, or 5OOt;
simple head-dress 50f. | suppose there are
common stores, where articles are cheap, but
as one sees in Canal street, or the Bowery, at
home.
When you have devoted few days to shop
ping, you go to work, lodging-hunting, that is,
if you intend remaining any time in Paris, for
hotels are SO dear everybody, flies from them,
as soon as possible, unless willing to spend a
fortune in mere living. L will give yon my
experience in that line, hereafter, for the French
women, who let these apartments, are so keen
and so smart, where money is in the question,
that dealings with them are quite amusing,
assure you.

such as are worn in New York. The narrow
fronts to the bonnets forbid those now. Curls
are termed Z, anglais, and ladies of a certain
