TAE1s, Sept. S.-Although the beautiful Bois
de Bouiosnc is exchanging Summers bloom for
Fashions dazzling llues, aud arlstocratic prom
euades arc gradually assuming their brilliant
appearance usual at this season OF The year,
there arg yet but few changes To note in styles.
Here alld there Z charming walsing-suit Of new
design attracts attention, or, perenauce, a novel
carrlaye-toilettc arrests the eye; but in general
there is but little variation from the fashions
last described. Strongly contrasting colors are
sometimes seen, and quite charming they
seemed to me among the birds and flowers Of
tho Avenue Ut the Acacias; but they will surely
weary the sight it accepted generally BY prom
cnadevs on tho bouleVard5. Other toilettes of
equally brilliant coIors, with all their tints re-
hegting beauty on each other by artistic blend
ing, will probably remain in favor throughout
the season. or ut least their duration will cx-
tend Tar beyond that Of striking contrasts. 4

Society Is On the uui yiyc regarding
THE APPROACHING MAIt1fAHE
of the Princess Mercedes Ut Muntprnsier with
her cousin King Alfonso. The cclat vi tic &C.
casion promises to excel that OF anv other Koyal
marriage of uiuueru times, and as advanced
preparations prove that ncithcr the King nor
The Duke dc ,;ontpcnsicr regards the opposi-
tiOn Of numerous members Ol each family to
the arrangement, the pretty Mercedes will
marry King Alfonso in Z few weeks. The
Princess OF the Asturias bitterly opposes this,
as SHE is the next helress to the throne in the
event of her brother, King Alfonso, lying child
less; and no efforts are made to disguise her
hatred towards Acr cousin Mercedes.
Plris dues hot promise to be very brilliant
