CONTRAST OF SARATOGA SOCIETY
There is another type of womanhood in
Congress hall--a patrician type, which
comes from cultivation aud generations of
good blood. She wears no bright colors.
Her eyes delight in subtitle symphonies
symphonies in music, aud colors, too.
She does not wear yellow and blue,
and scarlet - but she mingles them
altogether as the painter miDgles
his paints on his pslette, and
produces warm symphony in brown or
drab-perhaps the lovely ponRee. If she
wears blue, she puts white in il, making
it look like the sky, or d4rkens it to the
blue of the ocean. If she wears scarlet.
she tones il down with blue till it becomes
maroon. If she wears crome yellow, she
tones down with white till Git becomes
straw co}or-always p symphony. Her
shoulders are proudly erect, like the
Venus de Medici, and her arms rest in
natures attitude, like the arms of Thor
waldsen's graces-palms to the front. Her
hair l. gracefully dressed, high up on the
head, like the Venus Of Csnoya, to show
the beautiful curves Of the neck; and are
not stuffed or swelIed into a clumsy globe
to hang, like a dead weight, down upon
the back. 10 the end she 'stuns people
in q civilized way-with grace, style and
purity; while the pebeian stuns with
picturesque colora, deformed shoulders
and Topping hands. There ia a young
lady at Congress hall so graceful, 50 very
stylish, and yet SO plain in her attire,
that when eke walks across the room
she ia tho center Of attraction. I ven
ture t. say that she knows more Of

beauty of form and style aud color than
all the plebian girl in the house. Among
gentlemen we see the same idea illustrat-
ed. Yesterday when the carriages came
up, saw a gilded four-iu-hand with
white reins and coachmen in yellow liv-
cries. Everyb body looked "a they would
look at a row Of pescocks on dre-- parade,
