a. 1'.1 MD day IF any pleasant Sabbath,
Fifth Avenue presents a curious and
brilliant spectacle. a, majority of the.
attendants Of. the different churches
flock thither, and promenade up and
down in procession. As far as the eye
can. reach, there ia this slow.moving
stream Of humanity, looking. as it
stretches along, with its gaudy colors,
like a. broad, undulating band Of bril-
liant ribbon. Nearly all go up on the
right hand side, and all seem to be ami
mated by tho same purpose, viz: to
display to other people their own
recent purchases, and to see what.
new things other people have to
display for them. There is abundant
opportunity for obsers alton Of this kind;
There are bounets and hats Of all shapes
and sizes, and some that have neither
shape nor size; oloaks and shawls. from
the new s'shavl suit" to the most costly
lace dresses black and colored, plain

elaborate fashion from collar to : skirt i; and
