PARIS. Sept. I9-Paris is still at the seaside, to-
morrow il will be given up TO the chase. At the sea-
side women battle like men, and i'll the hunting
field women carry guns like men. The huntress
Diana is no longer myth, except that the huntress
Diana went naked in the woods and praires, while
our young ladies, armed with contingencies, fol-
lowed the chase in serious costume. Two Young
Americans who started to-day for the Chateau Orge
val conducted thor operations in the following cos
tune:
For the brunette American weston of chestnut
velvet. the color of burnt bread; loose rowsers
gathered at the knees; loggings of yellow leather,
and leather bootees: cOored skirt with PINK
stripes: a melon hat ornamented with pheasants
wing and Swedish gloves.
For the American blonde tunc Of olive green
cashmere sleeves of gray silk, trimming and collar
green tened with frogs and green olives by the
side hangs a chatelainc OF Russia leather skirt of
stoel-rray silk with large hollow folds beginning at
the hips; princess hat of green felt, with gray
plume at the side fixed by bird of Paradise

talking very freely OF the Americans. Accord
ing 10 a Partisan, the American woman Is the
health of Paris from the point of view Of money OF
gayety and Of pleasure. See said he, the
American society has closed its houses and started
by express i'll all directions. Its emigration makes
great void in Paris, for it has taken in the capital
most important place. The finest hotels Of the new
quarters belong 10 Americans-the Riegses, the
Paynes the Sirnms. the Smiths, with plenty Of
Sons & Co. The front boxes Of our thcatcrs belong
to the golden lorgnettcs Of Boston and NewYOrk.
The finest turn-outs in the Champs ElyS6es and the
Bois belong to Americans and who would wear the
toilets which turn all heads at the races and the
opera if not the Amercansi Who are the amateurs
who buy the best pictures and objects of art Such
Americans as Mr.. Stewart and Dir. Stebbins
Finally who furnish the most splendid dowries for
the odd nobility of the Faubourg ST. German

Anelo-Saxon character of the men, it changes the
women into exaggerated Parisi9ns. The most

said the young Partisan lady, " we can say this for
them: the American in Paris IN compensation
for her eccentTicities, has two eminent qualities
which characterize her actionsan extreme integrity
and absolute certainty in her relations For instead
of scandalizing each other too often do, the
American women sustain and dcfcndeach other with
mistaken fidelity. They have the esprit de corps to the
highest point and if any dares to lack in respect
to one of them he has soon tue whole body at his
heels The French women would play an entirely
different part in country If they had tins soil

The foreigners have supplanted the Persian of

Anthony II has been said that this is nothing more
than the play Of imagination in delirum. Ii Is
superficial criticism. Meditating before tins engray

who creates his own hell like Dante. Bat at the
same time one remains convinced that Callot has
seen nothing HdicIOus in the temptation of st. An

Though he has gwen the carnival of life, the comedy
