THE FASHIONS IN PARIs.-The Fashions
editor of the Boston Post makes the follow
ing report:
"In ladies dresses the style of the First
Empire is said to be the prevailing tendency
now in Paris. In an old Columbia Centsnel
we find letter from Paris which gives an
idea what that style was. It says, describ-
ing an evening costume -"The dress was a
loose muslin robe, drawn up and festooned
at the knee so as to show the whole OF the
leg. The robe passed under the left breast,
which was left entirely naked, and was fas-
tened above the left hip. Both arms were
naked from the shoulder their length was
relieved only by two bracelets. The effect
of this dress shall not attempt to describe,
but TIN gantlemen all allowed that it was
fascinating in the extreme. The ladies have
dispensed entirely with the chemise, as the
folds of it, they say, prevent their elegant
shapes from being seen; and the taffeta robes
they wear submitted to display every grace
in the most striking manner"

Smoking Regulations "A book recently
published in London, entitled "Habts of
Good Society,"" contains the following rules
and suggestions in regard to smoking.
Bat if you smoke,or if you are in the com
pany of smokers, and are to wear your
clothes in the presence of ladies afterwa ards,
you must change them to smoke in. A host
who asks you to smoke will generally offer
you an old coat for the purpose. You must
also, after smoking, rinse the mouth we'll
out, and, if possible, brush the teeth. You
should never smoke in another persons
house without leave, and you should not ask
leave to do 80 if there are ladies in the house.
When you are going to smoke cigar your
self, you should offer one at the same time to
any body present, if not a clergyman or a
very old man. You should always smoke a
cigar given to you, whether good or bad, land
never make any remarks as to its quality.
