SENSIBLE FASHIONS.

Notwithstanding the fact that It Is a COM
mon practice Ia ridicule the hoops Of iir Ia
dies, and to descant upon the l"pperi"s OF
the opposite sex, We doubt whether there
has ever been period since the time that
Adam and Eve put on their i.-leai suns,
that men and women dressed more Sensibly
than they do at present TIC '"nnrts nt
the ladies' which seem to be made more with
reference to the ornamentation 81 their back
hair than with view Ia the protection oi The
head is somewhat exceptional: while II
must bc conceded that there is some extra
yagance in the way OF founcss, costly silks,
and huge hoops But tight lacing is eschew-
ed by all sensible women, street dresses are
worn reasonably high in the neck, and u
fashionable lady, with her warm under
clothing, her thick shawl cloak or mantila
her stout boots and her gauntletied hands
cuts a very different figure from the full
dressed DANES of fifteen TO twenty years ago
who would have been shocked to have worn
ANYTHING more substantial than gossamer,
who would scorn any foot gear more ctfec-
tive than light slippers, and who would De
Mortified unless her form resembled that OF a
wasp.
Twenty years ago gentleman would have
been ashamed to appear in the street unless
his limbs were encased in fine cashmere or
broadcloth; his overcoat. if be wore one, would
be made Of thin cloth, and the garment, like
the rest Of his clothing, would be 50 tight as to
require half an hours pulling and dancing
around, before the getting it on would be nc
complished.
Dickens describes a tightly-lressed indl-
said, resembled cloth sausage, and this
stuffed appearance was peculiar to all the
fashionables twenty years ago. Their pan
falcons were as tight as they could be drawn
on at all, and the fashion demanded that
they should be suspendered up aud strapp-
ed down to within an inch of their cassl-
mere lives; coats with tight sleeves, marrow
backs, and fat chests were in vogue and
broadcloth was under constant strain.
Garments are now worn loose and comfort
able. The pantaloons of the present day d"
not impede the movements OF the wearer;
coats are sack-like in their dimensions; boots
are worn thick and comfortable. aud with
out the ridiculously high heels which used to
breed corns so beautifully; while "vercaats
are sufficiently capacious to be thrown of or
on with perfect facility. There is AS great
change in respect to materials as there Is IN
regard to the cut of the garments, and the
winter suits Of the present day are now con
structed of thick wooden stuffs. the mere
sight of which would have Mortified fash
ionable gentleman Of the last generation.
The present fashions certainly secure the
comfort of their followers, while the liability
to take colds in winter ia much lessened.-
We have also heard it remarked that the
number of persons afflicted with dyspepsia
has greatly diminished since the wearing OF
easy clothing became fashionable. This is
the natural result of leaving the organs Of
the body free to perform their respective
functions PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.

MILE MARS.

When Mile Mars, the celebrated French
actress, whose beauty and genius were 50
much admired by Napoleon l., was growing
old; though she possessed money, diamonds,
horses. carriages etc, anda hotel in Paris,
besides two or three country houses; though
her saloon was the most popular OF all IN
Paris; though every distinguished person in
Europe had recognized her superiority, and
every one almost had yielded, in bank notes
and rich presents, to her destinations, she
was, nevertheless. the unhappiest woman III
France, because, az IN actress, people were

gives an account of her pleading with the
manager of the Francois TO be allowed to APP
pear vet a little longer, and her grief at find
ing her name in the attaches only two or
three times week. "Am |. then, no more
an actress?" said unhappy Mars; have not
nv voice as always! Are not my arms beau
tiful, and do not my eyes shine as in old
times?" Poor woman-like Mrs. Siddons,
her only pleasure was dressing for the scene
and her dearest friends were the dazzling
footlirhts. 1t was, indeed, hard to torego
them But one night some heartless person
threw an "immortelle" wreath which
the French hang upon tombs upon the stage,
and it fell, as intended, directly at the feet
of the actress, whose professional ardor had
outlived her beauty. She fled from the stage
mortified aud horror-struck, bearing the
green wreath with her. The harsh lesson
was not lost upon her sensitive nature
"Ah, these eanaille of Parisians." wa; her
observation, and she sadly resigned 10 the
abandonment Of the dressing-room, whose
gold and silver toilet, set miraculous appoint
lnent, etc., were the marvel OF Paris, and never
entered theatre again.
