smoothly in front, slightly plated IN the sides,

from the lower edge all around. Brown silk
netting is often striped with ight-colored silk
cord and edged With long fnge fohFmng h1 tas
GUS small ones. This style is generally placed
over q skirt Of one of the bright colors in the
stripes of the tabliers, and produces charming
effect. The garniturc OF the skirt and corsage
is Of lace and founccs, and can be arranged ac-
cording to fancy.
Versailles is just recovering from the c1-
element Of
BRILLIANT FETE
given In honor Of Gen. Houche, where the rank
and beauty Of Paris were also largely repre-
scnted, and Theirs has suddenly been aroused
BY the unexpected arrival Of several Princes
and Princcsses Of the family OF Orleans. The
distinguished company were entertained with
due honor at the Chateau Barante, and, after
roaming through picturesque sites and visiting
different objects OF interest, they proceeded to
the magnificent domain Of Randan. This ar
rival soon became publicly known, and the
peasantry assembled in thousands to offer their
respectful salutations, which were kindly re-
turned, but doubtless with conflicting rcmin-
iscences Of former days.
The cx-Ktng OF Hanover has concluded to
make Paris his permanent residence, and is now
here, with the Queen, the Prince Royal, and the
Princess Fredcrique, notwithstanding the great
efforts OF England tn induce them to remain in
that country. The Royal family will occupy the
Hotel Of King George on the Avenue Montaigne

1t is not possible their efforts will concentrate to
arrest the decadcnce which has become an cpl
dcmic on every hand. The Exposition dcs Beaux
Arts closed last week after an improbable year.
Large pictures prcdominatcd, some OF which
possessed great merit, and others were execra-
BILE, and the same classification WAS applicable to-
those OF every dimension. On entering. the
grand salon, the eye was attracted BY huge
canvas OF land and offensive coloring, which
represented {. Alahomct II. Entering CONSTANT

Gustagc A1oreau exhibited 'sHcrculc CT
rhydrs de Lcrne." The @ rocks g. are are
corpscs which cover the ground, whilst that OF
Hercules is as variegatcd as the rainbow. Truly,
NJ. Moreau is q Parnassian who forgcts himself
among the gods. The s'Galathce - Of II. panot
possesses much merit, and also the painting OF
II. Dctai1le entitled "En Reconnaissance"
Numerous others are worthy Of mention, but
more numerous are those whose lack OF artistic
merit must soon destine them to oblivion.
Since the revolution in Constantinoplc, Oriental
customs have become quite 10 mode here,
some of which are as absurd in Paris as a mod

fashionable suicides will hereafter use deli
