reached this city. few days since many of the
promenaders on Washington street observed a
lady passing gaily along, holding her dres. high
enough to partially display one of the aioremen-
toned skirts, which attracted general attention
We copy the following from o recent letter from
Phi iladeIphia:
To gust of wind which swept down Chesnut
street yesterday afternoon. indebted for the
discovery of new hsak of fashion. The red
wooden petticoats recently introduced by Victoria
have already found their way into this city, and
will most likely become the rage during the sea
son. From a momcntary glimpse of the article
We suppose them to be made of some Inc material
like Salisbury flannel, though, possibly, they may
be cashmere. Around the bottom run broad stripes
in bright col0rs giving decidedly picturesque
appearance to the ladies, rs they gracefully step
over the cutters. The new skirt is worn immedi
ately next to the dress. The ladies will ther
dispense with white ones, and those gothic contin-
nations which have of late, been SO highly in
vogue.
The collars now worn by the young gentlemen
are decidedly unique They are shaped like
small section of stOve-pipe and encircle the neck
in such a manner as to have earned for them the
above title. We observe slso that the peg-top stye
OF pants is being revived The popularity of these
garments is, that they give to the neither limbs
the shape ofsarly fall carrots-very small at the
bottom, but remarkably bulbons about the TOP
The fashions are growing slightly ridiculous and
