The Latest Partisan Fashions for Women.
A Paris correspondent writes on the 22d
ult. of womens fashions, as follows;
The next novel and strange event to the
loOsening Of the tongues, is the advent in
world of fashion of the extraordinary colt
fures in which our bellies appear at balls.
Imagine the front hair gathered above the
forehead into fried puff several inches
high, and there surmounted BY q bow Of
ribon or he met of flowers; the black hair
is dressed very low on the head, a Ia Greeque,
and covered with a sort of eacbepeigAe in
keeping with the ornament in front; this
buresqe superstructure of hair reminds us
of the poa,f sentiments. in which our
grandmOlhers displayed the portraits and
statuettes of their friends, and which were of
such blight that a ladder was generally
necessary to enable the coiffeur to put the
finishing stroke to his hsndiwork. Ere long
we may have to record the crowning of the
pOut1s of the present era with the
Photographic cards now in vogue, and which
are alone wanting TO complete the resem-
blance between the head-dresses of les hon
mes of 1861 and les meTUeiLLsVses of 1889.
The Spring bonnets are following the same
upward tendency; there are no sides, at least
only sufficient to fasten the bonnet under the
chin; all is piled above the forehead. Mad.
Alpbonsibe, with the good taste for which
she is remarkable, modifies these vsgaries
of fashion, and although her combinations
o. lace, velvet, flowers and feathers bear the
stamp of novelty, they are still graceful and
becoming.
There may be seen in her show rooms
white crepe bonnets covered with fenchons
of black and white lace, half-concealing
wreaths Of Spring flowers which encircle
the crown of the hat; all the trimming in
side entirely of silk, the prettiest are those
of lilac and violet futed; the curtain is
dram and hordered by double trimming of
lilac and violet. On the top of the front is a
tuft Of violet flowers, surrounded by green
RIspes, and inside fringe of grapes fall over
a bandeau of black velvet; at the sides are
drawn blonde bordered with black velvet;
the long and wide strings are made Of silk,
not ribbon, and are pinked at the edges.
The caps of our favorite liugere, Madame
Petit have generally loose crown with a
large ruche bordering il, and are decorated
in the diadem style with velvet ribbons and
small tufts of flowers just above the FORE
head. The baby robes de ohdmbre from this
establishment are much admired; they are
of white cashmere, trimmed with ruchos of
Solferino color of two tints. The back is
paited tight TO the figure; there are two
Tucbes around the neck down the front of
the robe aud around the skirt near the edge.

ABtonelli and the Friar-The Cardinals
FOndBess for Jewels and his Admiral b 10
Diplomacy. 80
Precious stones are not in the least repug-
nant to the taste of the august mineralogist,
Antonelii, and Gpropos to this is an anecdote
related of him that is not without its moral
In 1854, Prior of Neapolitan Convent
desiring some ecclesiastical privilege, went
TO Rome and directed his petitions 10 Anton
ELI, who, paying no attention to an un-
known supplicant, referred him to a third
person.
This third person being equally indiffer-
eHt directed the Prior TO a fourth, and thus
passing from one TO another, the petition
produced no effect. The Prior in a state of
desperation, finally consulted a lawyer, who
told him that the only means of obtaining
his end was TO present some valuable jewel
to the Secretary OF State.
Fortunately, al that time the Cardinal was
very much interested in diamond pin, for
which the owner demanded the modest sum
OF $4,000. The Prior wrote Immediately to
his convent, painting the precise couLeur
Eocdte of Rome, and upon receiving discre-
tOnary powers, purchased the pin, and
armed with which he directed his steps to.
ward AntonetPs Palace.
1t was with difficulty that the Prior
forced his way into the presence of the
ity, repeating that it was out of his power
to do any thing for the convent. Il know
very well" replied the Friar, "that Your
Excellency can do nothing for me, nor do
| ask any thing, but as Your ExcelIe ICY has
been SO very polite To me, and so devoted TO
my cause, can not depart from Rome with
out leaving an attestati0n of my sincere
gratitude" and hereupon he drew forth the
box containing the diamond treasure.
AT sight OF his iOng-coVetsd prize, the
Cardinal, with Protean rapidity, changed
into another being. Urbanity beamed from
his countenance, and sealing himself beside
the Friar, he acknowledged, with truth,
that he really did not merit such a regal
gift, as he had done nothing to forward
the donors interest, but that now he would
positively examine the converts demand.
He kept his word, found the supplicatiou TO
be a Just one, and few days later the Prior
returned to Naples in a highly satisfactory
state of mind.
Had we to deal with an ordinary charac-
ter, with a common lover of mineralogy,
the story would end here, but, as Antoneili
is nothing of the kind, there follows
sequel. When Cardinal Patriz went to
Paris to baptize the Prince Imperial, Pho
Mono, wishing TO make peace Offering TO
the Empress, having consulted Antonelli on
the subject, he promised to find a present
worthy OF such a mission. The famous
diamond pin was proposed, and of course
purchased, by which neat speculation the
purple-legged SOnninian added SIS, 600 or
$4,000 10 bis cash account. Who is there
that daIes deny Antoneli's claims to con.
summate diplomacy?

A Theatrical MaBaser's Devlce-A Joke
Made Profitable.
A Paris correspondent SAYS:

A Paris correspondent says:
In Americg, when he theatrical season has
ben uDpIOhtsble, it is common for m hangers
t. attempt 10 make good their losses, by get
ting up piece de circumstance, generally pro-
duced uuder the title of the manager in
distress" In the French provinces, another
aud more cunning dodge is practsed. Re-
Gently the director Of a country theater, at
his wits end for novelty, and unable to draw
audiences sufficient to pay for the lights,
boldly Al nOuneed q celebrated drama, the
principal parts to be performed by well
known metropolitan actors. At night the
house was crammed, aud the manager, highly
delighted at the success of his stratagem, was
troubled by only one rrihing difficulty-viz:
bow TO get rid of toe audience without
general row. In this emergency, the leader
OF the orchestra, alarmed at the threatening
dcmOnstIa tons behind him, occasioned by
tie delay asked what was 10 be done.
''Play the overture aud incidental music
of the pieDe,' said the director, "and then
we will SEE"
In few minutes the overture and songs
were terminated, when the spectators re-
commenced caicalling, barking, braying and
Whistling, at terrible rate. The director
appeared, all bows and smiles, before the
toOt.lights.
Ladies and gertlemen," said he, lob
serving your manifestations of discomfort, |
appeSr Ii your presence to learn your
wishes
"The play the play |" yelled a hundred
sngry voices.
The psy, ladies and gentlemen, is over.
1t has been performed, and the renowned
artists from Paris have left the theater"
&" Where has the play been performed ?"
demanded the crowd.
"Where? Why on the stage, to be sure
Bless my hearth continued the crafty
director, feiguiog to notice the fact for the
first time, the curtain is dsWR The
machinists have neglected their duty !!
Ladies and gentlemen, as some reparatiOn
foe this oversight which has deprived you
Of the pleasure Of witnessing the play, I
SO emnly promise you that the machinists
shall be fined. have the honor, ladies and
gentlemen, TO bid you an affectionate good
nightp
And the spectators, taking the joke in
good part, quietly left the theater.
