There was great deal of popping off, blythe
way, last week at Count Aguado's chateau de
SYry, where hunting costumes were worn OF
the same COlors az those adopted for the livery
of each particular family. Thus blue and white
Aunkeys could admire these shades on their
'uGstcrs' mousquetaire jackets, and their mis-.

Acurious story, by.the-wav, has been revived
this week by the absence of mind OF n lady's
maid. Those who haze read the memOirs Of a
certain COmte de ClermOnt must remember what
happened to him one day on calling on Mad'lle
lie Due, whom he married later. He lived in
those puff and powder days when il was usual
with nOOlemen to pay their respects TO ladies be-
lore they had lett their rooms, and they presided
over the levec With much vain glory at being
thus favored. !. % happened that Mad'lle lie Due
had oversight LerSelt and that her conhdante

Comte was waiting to be admitted Quick, quick,

and she hastily bathed her face, neck, arms, and

said she, when her additions were over. The
maid obeyed, after having thrown n lovely Va.

boudoir appearance to the sleeping apartment.

covered with-ink. The soubrette had made
mistake.
Something OF the same kind occurred with a
dye te one of our actresses at the Varieties. She
intended to dye her hair Tltien hue, made q
mistake with the help of her lady's maid, and
turned 1t green. This pastoral prospect had to
be endured Tor whole week, and all the
Duchesse de Gerolstein's admirers have enjoyed
the poor girls despair.
The Paris circles are this week full of the
lovely robe sent to the Queen of Portugal. 1t
may have been forgotten; a white satin skirt
under golden gauZe, looped up with fuschias
and gold roses in a 6lagree. The same orna-
ments in the hair, on the neck and in the ears.
She has ordered the same in white silver guaze
and white flagree.
The grand duchesses of Russia have had
fancy costumes sent them also, One is re-
nalssance red velvet, white satin and pearls;
the other Vatican, black velvet trimmings on
white silk, with pink satin and roses, with
a bunch of roses in the hair nesting among

AT matlnees white tOulard skirts are loOped
up with flowers. China tea roses are most
liked, but the everlasting field flowers and
wheat ears are everlastingly lovely on the
young. Loose jackets are trimmed round in
the same way, but on ali these occasions the
same flowers are worn in the ears and on the
head.
The only room left on that organ of sense is
TO be covered this winter with puff of flowers
or diadem, but EtTusCan gold and imitation
Etruscan gold is put on bonnets. A gold band
above the forehead or anywhere seems indis-
pensable. These gold circles are not glories,'
though women, alias angels, wear them. A
great deal of lace drapery is coming out this
week; our great milliners find this the only way
to make bonnets high, too high to be sayory to
all.
Brocaded lace patterns on silks are much
thought of. Lace is also beng sewn round black

Al BiarTitz the prettiest costumes at court are

White is leading the season out and will lead
