Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-11-01

dress which would suit well for skating-a
black velvet toQuet very low i'm the crown,
bordered all round with black lace scarf,
the ends of which float at the back.
A SKATING CosTUME.-The skirt was of
; amethyst velvet, cut out around the edge
!, in deep vandykes, and worn over an ame-
: thyst silk petticoat, the vandykes bordered
with narrow band of very dark otter.
, The paletot takes the form of a mantelet
, with square ends, but is not trimmed with
, fur at the back. A band of otter is laid on
!, to simulate large collar with long ends,
and thus has the effect of a victorine. A
small toquet. composed entirely of otter, ac-
companies this toilette.
TIGHT DREssING-We take the following o
from an English journal, in which a corset
controversy has been going on: 1--WE are
competent to state that tight-lacing is a
fashion quite gone out in Paris, whatever
it NAV be in England; it is now a recog-
jures the health, but quite takes off all grace
from the figure. -.-ar -.-rrr -
TO have graceful figure is the object
rather than to have very slender one, and
no person who laces tightly can possibly
look really graceful; she will be constrained
in all her movements, and her figure will be
stiff and straight instead of pliable and ele-
giant. es-H a...-. ....--
Modern paletots and jackets allow free
dom OF movement. For callisthenic cos
tune many prefer the short, square jacket
to the loose hanging Garibaldi."
BABY CLoTHEs.-D -Daygowns are used for
the first month, and as the baby then re-
qures great warmth, they are made with
high bodies and long sleeves. In fact they
| are smart nightgowns, made of either yery
fine long cloth, or of that striped material
that is used for ladies' dressing gowns.
The bodies are full behind, but plain in
front, with three strips of insertion let in,
/ hn mid cfr otfvhf 81.
| Sloping from the shoulder to the waist.
The sleeves and the strings to tie round the
waist should be trimmed to match. The
| robes should have low bodies and short
sleeves. The daygowns should he a yard
long in the skirt and two yards round.
The robes may be rather longer and wider.
CONCERT BY THE MENNERCHoR-Our
German friends of the Mannerchor have
made arrangements for grand concert, to
be given at Naughton Hall on the 14th in
slant. The programme is not quite ready
for publication, but we can state that it will
embrace the two favorite choruses sung by
over eight hundred voices at the recent
Sa1gertest at indianapolis, in which the
Mannerchor- took a prominent part,
and the. beautiful song for which
the celebrated New York Lieder-
kranz was awarded 1.-THE first prize at the
Eastern Festival held at Philadelphia in
July last. Miss Fanny Smith and Miss
Caroline Schneider have kindly volunteer
ed their services. Prot. Schoppelrei will
play "a violin solo of his own composition,
and the DeBeriot Club, which is mainly
composed of members of the Manner
chor, will be on hand ready for duty. The
Concert promises to be a fine affair.
Naughton Hall should be crowded on the
evening of the 18th.
SUNDAY SCHOOL UNIoN.-A meeting of
the Superintendent of the evangelical
Sunday Schools was held last evening in
the basement of the Town Street NJ. E.

resolved, on account of the large number
of scholars to be present, to hold two meet

places of meeting and the making of other
arrangements are in the hands of COM
