FASHIONS FOR WINTER. The Paris CORES
! noudent Of the New York Herald writes the
following brief notice Of the fashions in tina
city for the coming winter:

is to be carved and jewelied as never modes
fans were before, ooly | have the newest
n1ettiest met Spanish head dress to post that eve,

High life is coming out In mantilas this
winter. Our present Neapolitan roof, it's ac
complice, is to be halt as big as it Was-that is,
Just discernable square, mere pretence fol

one ear and the mantilla on the top. The
latter will fall like veil over the face but moi

non behind, and be drawn over the shoulders.
It will finally be fastened On the bosom with
flower TO match the one on the catalan. =
Nothing can be more becoming. The ears and
neck of high lie will be protected, and the old
members thereof will thus draw veil over
their wrinkles, which they certainly have not
done since they adopted the juvenile open
shapes, as if they were just leaving their teens:
There are Pamela bornets, with little round
crown, fanchon style; but the Marie Antoi-
nettes are the pride of our best milliners -
The raised Lamballe, with velvet green leaves
on the top, over tulIe, are the full dress bon
nets of this season. ss,gs ,3s sa.sa#
As the bodies of our dresses are to be cut
somewhat low, very pretty neckties have. ne

lady who will insist on wearing open Van Dyck
collars can boast ofa swanlike downy throat
The new neck ornament is made of a narrow
ribbon, either velvet or taffeta it is tied on
with long ends behind, but in front there isa
velvet flower. Let me propose a fat hearts
ease, under which are sewn two euds, as if the
flower were a bow. On each Of these two ends
two more heartseases making a group OF i've

conceals good deal, is warm and tasteful ~
Another new triAe-and trihes | never look
over, for they give the finish and style to the
plainest toilets the new set OF velvet earrings
and brooch, which istmuch prettier for winter
wear than the Lamballe flower parure.
~ There is a soft hue on velvet ball earrings
which accompanies the natural down on the
cheek. They are light, not expensive and
glossy Emerald green sets, hanging on gold,
or rather gilt hoops, match any bonnet or dress;
but black velvet is more distingue The
brooch is plain. ~ ;gsg<.rj "a. -5g,sr .w
Another trimming that does not require any

itself, is the pompouette rose ribbon. 1t will
be worn for hairbands, and is made Of small
round floss balls on narrow ribbon. Pink, in
all its shades, is the favorite pompon. At a
distance these little round tufts look like real
miniature roses.
q The splendor of our jet passementerie and
gimp ornaments can be. described, though all
the French say they cannot; but | do not think
they can be- surpassed. The richest trimmings
for velvet and cloth casaaues are rosettes,l from
which hang long cord loops, such as the mill
itary Hussars have dangling about theirrig ging.
These loops end in pendants which are either
long, round or oval. | must not forget to
mention the new fringe in this series. 1t is
made of a beaded passementerie heading, from
which dice hang, each die being worked with
cut jet beads. Its beauty consists in the way
itstands out on velvet, for the dice hang In the
diamond direction, not square, and they are IN
perpetual motion. 4a y -S'2'l,

last Sunday evening. produced the following
picture Of rich men S sons i: :.
Men seem ashamed Of labor and often, often
you shall find men who have themselves res

amassed fortune,$ who turn to their sons and
say: y GU shall never do as did; you shall

lead a life Of elegant leisure; and that is a
lite OF emasculated idleness and ilaziness Like
t1e polyp that floats useless and nasty upon
the sea, all Jelly, all fabby, no muscle no
