Imperial Ball ut the TuIIeries.
The gossiping Paris correspondent of the
Boston Traveller gives an account of the open
ing of the season ofballs in the gay capital o.
France, where nobody keeps their feet still
when Louis Napoleon is cutting PigeOn-wings
Readers, the ladies especially, will be interested
in the court fashions and costumes at all events
The ball at the TuiIeries was a verynice one:
It was posi- ble TO get in when ones carriage
got TO the door, and after eleven o'clock one
could move from room to room without risk of
being crushed. Our fair country-women and
our English cousins distinguished themselves
as they always do by their intelligence in select
ing for their dress materials which wont tear
easily The French women laugh at them for
it, as they delight in mVehtiDg texts for neW
clothes; the embroidered coats and pantaloons
and military uniforms usually tear holes enough
in the frail materials OF fine ladies' ball dresses
| to satisfy the must churlsh husband of the i'm.
periOus necessity of providing his wife with a
new ball dress. Our American and English
women have more affectionate regard for pas
and husbands purses. They visit the Tuileries
in strong silks or stronger velvets, and bid def
ance to all the embroidery. What embroidery

Russian Hussars of the Imperial Guard, Cir
cassian officers, Austrian HuhIans, Austrian
Trabans, Spanish Dragons, Piedmontese Rifles
men, Chamberlains from every Court, Privy
Councillors of all the German Archdukes, Grand
Dukes, and Grand Electors--in fine, universal
exhibition of the embroidery of all nations.

Philippe and the February Republic. 1t cannot
be more splendid than it is; and it is thoroughly
Freneh-that is, there are mirrors everywhere,
and where there are no mirrors there is white
paint; and where there is no paint there is gids
ing; for white paint, gliding, and mirrors are
the three ingredients out Of which the French
form what they think sp!endor. No Frenchman
can be happy without white paint, gliding, and
mirrors. Flowers are now an indispensable
element of ballroom decoration, and at the

carriages move about muddy streets; no splashes

mobiles by live hedge of chamberlains and
gentlemen ushers. Here you see the Emperor
and Empress, Prince Napoleon, Princess Clo

Of honor, the grand dignitaries of the house
hold and the diplomatic corps; the ladies being
attired with the greatest elegance. The EN-
press wore delicious" dress of sky blue silk
covered with dress of Alencon lace, costing,
l am afraid to say how many ters of thousands
of francs. Her head was adorned by diadem
of turquoises and diamonds, among which was
the famous Regents diamond her necklace
Of diamonds and turquoises of the greatest
beauty. The Princess ClOtilde was plainly
dressed; she wore a dress of white Grape,
trimmed with knots and dgreme7tS of sea green
velvet she had only pearl ornaments. The
Princess Mathilde was sttired in a dress of
white tuile trimmed with cherry eolered velvet,
and she wore in her hair a crown Of pearls and
diamonds with cherry colOred feathers. And
let me tell-for It's most important news-the
Princess Murat, the Princes de Metternich,
Madame Aguado, and several other, wore no
crinoliHe; Their dresses were short wasted
and of small circumference, of truth, revi-
val of the fashions of the year of human
slaughter, 1912.
The Empress dresses are diminishing in
volume, and it is said she commanded these
ladies TO make this ball the Lexington and
Concord of crinoline. May it soon meet its
Yorktown Dancing began at halfpast ten
O'Clock, (the Court were an hour in walking
around the rooms) by set formed of the En-
peror and Princess Clotllde; the Empress and
Prince of Orange; the Princess Mathilde and
Prince de MetteTnich; Prince Napoleon and
the Young Princess Murat n. Baroche and
Nine. Trimiri Roger (wife of the Belgian
MinisteI); Minister; Marshal Magnan and
Nine. Walewski; N. DesambrOis (the Sardin~
ian Minister) and the Princess Essling Prince
Murat and the Princess de Nettemich. The
palm of beauty was awarded er eqto 10 q Rus
sian, the Baroness ObOleska, and FIOrentine,
the Countess CassOnava. They are beautiful
women. The supper was very brilliant The
ladies' were served first; they entered by a
private door. After they had supped, the gem
tlemen were admitted, twenty at a time. The
Emperor and Empress quilted the ball at one
O'Clock, but dancing continued until three o.
