PARIS FASHIONS AND Tue MILITARY
"CHIc."-The Paris correspondent of one of In =
fashion magazines writes about the new " loves
OF bOnnets" thus:
Although we still see many black costumes in
Paris, sombreness Is now much de riaueAr now
as at the commencement of the season.
Although the horrors Of the siege and the Com
mune are still so near US, the clouds that remain
after the storm seem dspelling, and Psrisians
are gradually returning to their wonted life and
gaiety. Toilets are assuming less sombre hues.
The black hat or bonnet almost uniformly worn
month or two ago Is now frightened up by a
gay flower or feather. Colored feathers are I'm
great vogue. They say we are to wear decidedly
large bonnets next winter. Nous rerroas.
AT present there Is not much change In shapes
Both hats and bonnez have very high crowns
and small brims, the latter either slanting or
turned up. The newer models are fanciful and
suitable for the seaside. Thus the casqsefte Pa
risienne is somewhat startling shape tor q la
dys head-gear. Our modistes seem wholly in
spired this year with the kepi of the mobiles or
the shdpska Of the lancers- There Is q good deal
of military CHIC about the more eccentric Of our
new hats.
The cdsqtette Pdrisienne Il, however, q most
dainty little hat the strangeness OF its shape Is
always concealed by the elegance of Its trim
ming. Its brim Is slightly turned up; the crown
covers the trimming Of the head. None but the
youthful can wear this cds2setk with success. IL
Is certainly pretty, of fine black English straw
trimmed with black velvet, and with q branch
of rosebuds en- dtgrete.

Society SmaIl-Talk.
(From the New York Mail. 1


Small tufts of ostrich feathers are worn by
ladies in the hair, a la belle .Sdurdge.
Ladies' round hats are worn very high this
season.
No jewelry whatever on the streets is the latest
rule for ladies.
TortOise-shell butterflies are a favorite orna-
ment for the couture.
The gypsy shape in bonnets is preferred to any
other this season.
We imagine that some of the young ladies who
are so fond of using the slang term correct"
would be somewhat shocked if they knew its
origin and significance.
For Wedding invitations this season many
seem to prefer large note sheet with the invi-
tations inscribed on it in script, and only two
cards, one with the name of the groom and the
other that of the bride.
Now that the weather is cooler and flowers
are somewhat harder to obtain, the bOutonniere
is coming in again. "A single tea-rose bud is the
correct thing.
The handsome India shawls are being worn
made into a clese-ft sack or double cape,
which can be done without cutting OF injuring
the shawl. Ladies prefer this way of wearing
them, as a shawl folded in the old style can
hardly be worn gracefully with the present style
Of large panniers and looped skirts.

A REPREHxNsIBLE HABIT. There is no
breach Of that etiquette which should
be observed in public places so reprehen-
sible as that of o gentleman leaving ladies
sitting alone. 1t is not only matter of eti-
quette, but Of the attention and protection due
q lady under the charge Of gentleman.
How often do we observe at the opera
and theater from fifty 30 hundred va
cant chairs between acts, representing this
reprehensible act. Gentlemen should not be
guilty OF such q disrespectful act toward
ladies, and ladies should not tolerate it.
There are many considerations apart from the
etiquette Of good breeding in public places
to discourage such a practice. A lady Is liable
to be insulted in the absence Of her escort; the
difhculty Of his returning through the crowded
hoase TO his seat, and even the probability Of an
accident or panic occurring, which would re-
Quire his immediate care Of the lady or ladies
under his charge. This breach of good taste
and breeding is committed, in a majority of in
stances, not once or twice, but frequently re-
peated between every act. The most effectud
way for lady 10 prevent II Is to refuse to as
company gentleman to a public place OF
amusement who is guilty Of this ungentlemanly
breach Of decorum and neglect of q lady under
his charge.-Once q Week.
