PARIS, july 21--Surcly, ingenuity must have
at length exhausted itself in devtsine clcc;;ut
additions to the toilette, the variety of-
fercd cannot possibly he excclle1- These also
promise to b. less cphctnrral than many which
hare appeared during tt:e- Fast season. Us their
Intrinsic value added to their beauty will favor
a long continuance in the fashionable world
Prominent among these are vests 0. old Frcn Ii
pont-lace, and posnt-le Eenise, lace gloves Of
tue Same exquisite material, anti charming
aprons, IL coqustti$h as those OF ] Swiss peas
ant, and ha,lGsoue enough for t1Gecn. As
oyerskirts are fast disappearing these aprons
Will doubtless meet with sn11cll fartr, ut least il
home toilettes, and probably their be:.slty may
eventually induce Dame Fashion to present
them on more formal occasions. Stockings
:slsu seem t., have reached the climax ut per-
fectiol,, and as low shoes and drrsses short in
front expose them cou$picl1Ous1T to view they
necessarily ciaisn nu h attcntion,-snorc, ID
fact, than they have ever received since the
time of ucury H., when these costly appeulages
OF the toilette were eertainIy not very nald:
some, If tile description Ut those worn BY the
King On certain Occasions is correct. Tftcir IN.
portanc" is sunstaltiatcd by the fatt that
after lapse of more than 800 years those
worn by Henry II. at the marriage Ut his SIS
ter with the Duke of Savoy, loom up u the
most important article Of bis dress lhe rt-
eclipse that of all others made in f'rlEce .or
time to come, as we arc informed they were
knit for the King especially for that cpesslon.

AMONG woHru'5 NEW CREATIONS
We see a corset, even ex 'eedjn7 in elegance
that designed list month. 1t is in palc tinted
satin ol blue, rose, and amber, but III acc"tl
ancc with tie prospective Drcva,e:!ce 0: deeper
coiors, the s.-..sc shape wall soon ap,'cr in
bright blue, uecn rose, and scarlet. IL s0na
magical PROCESS, there arc no snd a:ions ut the
presence Of whalcboncs or seams, ana
tho surface of the satin is as smooth
as if it was molted. Fashion is
rather cratic at present, liaving
dispatched most OF her votarics tn suEnmes-re-
sorts, and being unable to lataosn til: future,
no radical changes will take place FOR several
weeks. Many predlct the First Empire tress,
with its short waist aud Josephine belt, is 70 be
the prevailing style next fall, us it has f1atlc its
appearance at several fashionable Watering
places, and also rc1nains the established ball
room costume pf the CountcSscs Pourtalcs and
Beharucs- 1t will be remembered these stars
in the world Of fashion revived this style last
winter. but it never extended beyond their own
ar1stocratic circle, until pretty actress IT the
Vaudeville appeared in i full Josephine toilette
at ball given By the Directors Il: that theatre.
AMONG SEVERAL ELEGANT TOiLETTEs
lately forwarded to Dit.o,l. QUO of malve Can
ton-crcpe was made in this style. and tho e1-
pcnsve embroidery which adorned it seemed tc
indicate that this dress was destined for use be-
y0nd the short pcriu1 Oi the summer-sea.on.
Aprouos Of Didon, glance at this celebrated
pleasure resort which until lately Was small,
obscure village, mar not prove unHtereseln9-
Its delightful sea-bithins has been source o
attraction to many for the last few years,
and numbers Of hand residences
have gradually multiplied until the
present time. THIS SEASON., they
nre extending in every direction. Every day
mansions with fcutlai towers. payilions and rus
tic cllalets arise along tue granite walls. and
ascending to the summit Of the plateau, eiicr-
Gle with picturesque belt Of varied colors and
forms the Bay of Uinard. TIE village extends
in length atoag winding route, following tue
iu.lentatious Of the coast, with its steep path
ways and steps, llcwn out Of the solid rocks, de-
scending to the SEA. From Ddon, the Town
OF st. Servan, the Port OF Solilor, and that
OF st. Pere arise before the View: and just be-
you'd the Das Sai,lo.ls on the other side, st.
Malo, with its walls OF stone. loo:ls like an
island surrounded bY the sra. Historic memo
ries cluster thc!zly around this point, and not
among the least Is that Of the assistance reu-
t.cred by the hardy scalncn Ut St. Malo to Louis
XIV. in I'LL, when they presented him with
81, ,000, 600 lyrcs. As theatrical affairs uul',
it may please you to take i coup tl'Eil from
