Society Small Talk.

An attempt is 10 be made to reintroduce into
favor Mrs, Renald's extraordinary invention in
the matter OF head dresses, videlicit, coronet
OF gas Jets.
a fashionable wedding last week was conducted
without any music, the organist being an hour
behind time. That man will be employed often
hereafter.
Bronze green, Paris en- fere, janaBe de nymphe
and GnsreS oe Paris are new cOlors in dress
materials.
Astrachan fur will not be so popular this
season a. seal. new Hudson Bay fur, called
the Fischer, is dark and fine, with a thick up
right pile.
The newest thing in colors is called Ele-
plant Color" and is a sort of blush gray which
Is the color, it is said, OF three months old ele
plant.
Nearly all the imported dresses have the I'M
derskirt made perfectly plain, or with straight
trimming OF black velvet.
Large sleeve-buttons of cameo, set in the
greenlsh cOloreG gold are very elegant for pres
ents for gentlemen about the holiday times.
II II the fashion this season for gentlemen to
call on their lady friends at an early hour in the
evening III full dress, with accompaniment OF
light gloves crush hat and boutonniere. so that
after a call of half an hour they are enabled TO
go TO the opera, theater or party.
Afternoon muSicGieS have become latelva very
fashionable style OF entertainment in this city
among those persons who are ALWAYS hunting
about TO find something new. They are very
popular with gentlemen, they can 20 as late
as clock, and Tegale themselves on oysters
salad and champagne, which is often a good
substitute Tor dinner.
II IL pIoposcu at large ltllueS, Nnca every one
wants TO dance, and where there is little space
tor indulging in this delightful exercise, for the
ladies and gentlemen to form "A circle round the
roc IN, and when the music strikes up for one
couple to start and dance three times round the
ring and then retire outside, the next couple in
order TO take their three turns round the room
until all have had a fair chance. In this way
10 dancers pass each other. and order is pre-
served in the most astonishing and delightful
manner
The fashions in ladies hair dressing are tend
ing toward the antique. So We may expect soon
to see all the pillars Of good society crowned with
mic capitals.
A French fashion we know of ought TO be
adopted here. The bride is always dressed very
simple in aristOcratic weddings there. We won
der which our brides think most of,-what thew
are promising or how their train lies.
Naenciennes lace under black and white silk
fringe under black lace make two very pretty
and effective trimmings which are finding much
favor among ParisiOn modistes.
There Is one custom I'm vogue at Boston we'd
dings which really ought to be adopted here
We mean that OF the ladies keeping their seats
in the church after the ceremony till their
carriages come up to the door. An usher then
infoim her that her carriage is ready. and es
corts her to it. By this means the Unpleasant
