Chicago this year asserts herself, and intenda
opening the season With an entertainment tas
worthy OF herself as 1t will exceed in maRnif-
cence Of conception aud elegance Of detail tho
usual summer-hops Of the various. fashionable
resorts. To this event all the elite Of Chicago
in fact, an the distinguished people in the
country-sre looking forward with, expectation
and delight. Among the fair danes, Of course,
the main question is,
''wHAr sHA11. WE vEAn?"
For each and all rea1ize that to be consnae Il
jaut in dress is like the adding Of perfume to
the rose. Discussions Of HarEy's and Jacks
eligibility or attentions are quite lost in the
momentous debate Of the attire OF these

seen in sufficient quantity to show that Paris is
really the shoppine-reso1t Of our fair Americans,
and that to run over once or twice year to re-
plenish and modify their warlrobes is mere
| necessity to many Of them. To thoee, however,
| who lack either time, inclination. or any other
requisite for these little excursions, few hints
as to what will be in order and good taste for the
| Grand Event Of tho Season may not come amiss.
Co.p1ENoIx9 WITH THE COUTURE,
thero seems at present to be sort Of interne-
| diate condition in the matter Of hair-dressing.
The high stvlo OF the First Empire is gradually
being replaced by tho dropping clatelaine
braids; but theso are rather adapted
for the promenade than for evening"
costume. It may therefore, be con-
siasred that the majority will still wear
the hair high, and covered with either white
Or blonde powder. These are the two adnissi
bio colors, the silver and diamond articles being
paase and vulgar. Spanish combs, fiovere
feathers, and jet-ornaments are the decorations
which will predo1ninate. Wells arc also added
occasionally, but have not met with the favor
their graceful beauty. would Seem to make it
probable that they should. Jewels are added, and
also brilliant flies Or dainty birds. ..
Dresses. will doubtless DO in variety. The
newest fancy 10 for tho chaletaine bodice, de-
scribing by its close fit the contour of the form;
