THE FASHIONS.

AS q rule F'renchman III the army
never thinks of spending day in the
country without drawing On pair of
light CATERS. Why he does this has never
been explained. 1t is habit, and SO gen
era2 that cavalry officers and CATERS were
until very recently synonymous. In
fortunately gentlemen not in the service.
therefore called pehins, are also taking to
CATERS at seaside places, and the only way
to distinguish a real dragoon from the
adultcrate reproduction is to ascertain if
the gathered PARTY wears mouche tmperSale
A mouche is military. 1t is tuft OF
parted hair below the under lip, whereas
z the 2anperale is a long comma Of beared
that denotes an accurate mind. A motche
is the emblem Of buzz, an amperiale of
tune. Pure Republicans efface the
word imperial on all facades, but do not
yet call their chin punctuation natsona7e
like all the rest. This is a curious fact,
but other loose topics are available-the
Niniche hat, for instance. It is high
straw shape, with not quite a pointed
crown on the top, and yet it is conical.
There is not much rim and the front is
large butterfly bow. 1t is countri6ei
and very becoming when the hair is cut
close TO the forehead in the style called
''brasse." The other hats are DevonSnires
with velvet facines; pulcinellas, and
lIonguevilles in honor Of skirmishing
princess who lived in the days of the
Fronde and knew all about turnings I'D
A GAY TIME
There is {. little fun to tell concerning
ladies who make such subjects special
study. The event occurred at Deanville.
1t is fashionable place when we have no
exposition and no live duke to follow
down the Rue DIES Nations. Even this
year there have been few celebrations
AT Deanville, such as the foundation of
OF soup kitchen, races and the perform
ance OF an operette. On the occasion of
a ball at the Casino, it was arranged that
the hall should be at the disposal of le
monde proper until one, and that after
one clock le monde improper should be
admitted for the sake Of a change, never
theless, considerable number of most
improper couples gained admittance an
hour before their due and stood up in the
same quadrilles as blue-veined aristocrats.
Their presence were at first unobserved,
but our 5seeIrs de 6itune soon thawed and
apondoned their limbs, so to say, leaving
them to perform the most extraordinary
antics, twists, waves and gyratory incon-
grulties. La noblesse looked on aghast
until 8 tremendous scapa!ier seuI,' a pas
tourelle part excited the volcanic fire with
in, and the leader of the orchestra was
requested to stop the music Down he
came, and his band, delighted to get to
bed early, walked off behind him, leaving
the desk. lie monde improper fancied
propriety would soon be restored and
walked about, but there never is a gath
ering OF denaa-naondaanes without a good
musician among them. A bon uiyeuy
rushed to the piano and furious attack
On the chords was the signal for no less
furious polka in the hall The female
monde proper hid its face with its screen
fan and fingers while the male portion
walked out for the police. 1t could not
be found, but the manager was called in
and two gendarmes anu two custom house
officers. These were all the cooked hats
to be laid hold Of a curious scene
awaited these rubicund functionaries, it
took them momentarily by surprise and
kept their hands down
THR BEAU OF THE BALL,
The deuaS-aa0ndaSnes had barricaded
themselves behind the music desks. In
front OF their forces stood young man
wearing "huissier's" silver cham round
his throat; he was to act as speaker and
began to parley with the enemy. A
round OF applause greeted his first period,
and SO humoristic, so absurd was his ora
ton that Ia noblesse put down It's screens
and looked out between its fingers. If
repressible laughter was the second mark
of appreciation; meanwhile the officials
were getting red in the face, laugh they
dared not, burst they might, explode
they did: and no horn blowing was ever
like IL. They made their exit, and
gentleman with little finding that an
honorable retreat was all that could be
effected, responded to the humorous
speaker for the sake of responding, stip-
ulating that none of the property Should
be injured. after which the noblesse re.
tired. The general impression among
the aristocracy is, however, that this was
the only ball they enjoyed, for if the no
blesse retired it looked on from side pas
sages and saw all the crockery smashed
after supper.
BUTTONS.
Grelot buttons are quite furore. and
