wearing garments Of more reasonable
length.
Wide black lace sashes, which are at pres
ent SO fashionable, should be mounted upon
either white tafIetas or satin, otherwise they
soon twist and look out Of order.
Many ladies', especially in Paris, hlve
lately adopted the plan Of mounting precious
stones upon black velvet for the throat, a
style which will be found advantageous
round throats which are neither round nor
fair. Necklaces Of all descriptions are great
ly in vogue /; but many young ladies will re-
tain the simple locket and velvet in prefer
ence 10 more costly necklets. Rosettes for
the shoes made TO correspond with the trim
mings Of the dress likewise ribbon velvet for
the locket, are now usually sent home with
the dress by the generality Of our best dress
makers
The fashion Of introducing color into the
trimmings Of Undertaking Is increasing.
Although many still maintain a strong pre-
judice in favor Of " all white" still the ma
lority incline to the admixture Of color, and
the consequent enliYenment which II impaTts.
We believe colOred petticoats were the first
Innovations; these were quickly followed by
colored stockings, and now flannel petticoats,
ch-mises, and night-chemises are more or
less trimmed with color. For chemists the
prettIest inexpensive trimmings We hav eseen
are worked with scarlet ingram cotton upon
white French cambria. The designs are all
small-dots Of scarlet embroidered in satin
stitch, with festooned scarlet edge IN but
ton-hole stitch others have white edges
with scarlet leaflets for designs These trim
mings are strong, and can be washed with
out tear of the color running, or indeed de-
parting altogether. They appear to rs very
suitable for children under linen as well as
for ornamenting their pinatores.
White flannel petticoats arc also adorned
with color The edges are festooned with
scarlet wool, above which they are braided
with scarlet braid. Others are simply stitch
cd by machine with scarlet ingram cotton
round the edge. then braided with a design
about three inches deep, headed with another
row Of backstitching. But eolored flannel
petticosts are also worn; either scarlet or
pink are the popular shades.
Boots are made ianta>tically with the
present style of looping up the dresses, both
in fine and wet weather, the feet are seen
very plainly The only alternatives are,
therefore, highly ornamentei Tetucoats and
dainty bonts.

In the present day the reverse Is the object

The assertion Of the Free Pres, that the far

Gen. Smith towards Gen. Mcclellan one Of

Up TO that time they were warm personal
friends.-This friendship was formed when
they were students together at West Point,
nor did it abate q particle until the time
mentioned. Gen. MeClellan has entertained
the highest respect for General Smiths mil

Gated on tbepart of General Smith. When
during the Peninsular campaign he noticed
the unpardonable blurders Of Gen. McClel-
