"Sho'will have music wherever shc.goes." .'Tis
not of music however, that we are going to SPEAK
tis of the fsssAion,. And when wo think of; and
road of, and 500, tho brass f'1ings"' that NOW
overload be.uty from her head TO h;r hoels, we
cannot help saying TO ourse!f: The time viii ioon
be here when rings will .boworusin the nose, and
bell. on tho toos. Not that We think the, brass
ixings" ugly; on: tho contrary. we think them
beautiful. Nor do we dccry- the, fashions; to
tinker ssso uuiinportant u leak in the world,

'nose-rinss and the too-bels come, We hare no
doubt their effect will be charming. 49,.
But 10 The fa,hians. Tincl, Of gold or silver,
i, worn inprofusion upon elmos: every Kind Of
garment. Tinsel ornaments of all shapes, sizes
and descriptions! Upon the .hats and bonnets
tho bodies and skirts, upon the cl0aks, scarfs
and mnntlcs, upon tho ribbons;and trimmings.
Whether il ia worn upon the cofterie "a naughty
word in plain Engish) andtte cIatssrrie (auothcr)
We cann0t say; but.wa suppose, ia. The fash
lonnblo bonnet for tho coming season is callod
"tho Gipsey;" tits said,to bo very. ANAL and
shaped like II saucer bent down n: little on The
sides. The little hats and caps, new so much in
vogue, are to maintain full sway. The most'elc-
gsnt and Fashionable Spring and summer dresses
are not to be composed throughout of tho same
material. The frat, and longest, skirt, and the
high body and long sleeves arc to be of solid
coorod material whilo on overskrt and il psas-
ant (or. very low body are to bo of striped or
figured material TO- match. Tho. hair is worn in
streaming curls q Ia ,VatGjai: 2: the back Of the
ho.d and in short stG caEs across the forehead ):
in y.aSay frizzss ID bandeas1, ,in:- plsits, in
waterfalls. Nothing in tic way 'of. ornament Tor
the hair will be consideration much it is impos-
siblc 10 put on too muct.: Narrow fibbons nrc
worn around tho throat, lie onds floating down
the bSck, or over the shoulder to tho very earth:
tha, part which passes aro,ud tho throat is oria-
mtntel with git spanslcs buttons or pendants.
And now We subjoin par, graph. frYn a letter of
Sumter, New York correspondent of the Courier
dated February 21th.,r Whom he speaks of skir:s

/ whilo bare necks and arms will be fashionable
again. OF late years t5eindrcs:ed style of drcs-'
sing has not been pormittal in society. But this
year will bring, back,tlr !sshions Of 1872 In NIL
their pristine scanlines. The new walking boot
for ladies' is novel dsi.p. Tho, lower, part is.
