The striped brocades remain in great
favor, together with most striped fabrics,
which are becoming generally known as
pekins; thus there are silks with bro
caded satin stripes, and satins with stripes
OF brocaded velvets; sometimes only one
color is represented, but the newest and
richest brocades have the various colors
combined in India and Persian cash
meres.
1t is the opinion of New York tailor
whose speciality is woolen garments for
women, that "a lady never looks so well
as in plain, perfectly-ftting cloth body,
avoiding all unnecessary trimmings of
every kind" He says everything, how
ever, depends on an absolutely perfect
and artistic fit, and this alone will make
tailors' costumes for ladies as fashionable
in America as they now are in Europe.
A Paris letter says that this season
there will be no radical changes in the
principal features of the toilette, but
numerous notifications in the details.
The walking dress, that for the street,
which is seen by all, grows more and
more simple, and even austere, with a
very pronounced masculine character
Dresses for receptions, dinners, and the
drawlng-room are complicated, and are
reaching degree of bizarrerie and oddity
such as Partisan taste has never ap-
preached before Shapes, stuffs and
ornaments showing all the historical
styles, combinations of colors and shades
which no one hitherto has ever ventured
to associate--such is the character of
French fashion, and its temerity seems to
have reached the limits which separate it
from extravaganza.
Worth sends short costumes of black
satin de Lyon with gay brocaded velvet
basques and trimmings. Harper's Bazaar
says the skirts of his walking dresses are
slightly pointed behind, and although the
foundation remains narrow, a full effect
is given by outside drapery. This founda-
ton OR lining is of inexpensive black silk
with deep knife-pleating of satin de
Lyon around the bottom. Then, instead
Of separate overskirt, the drapery of
satin de Lyon is sewed in with the belt,
and consists of four long full straight
breadths, shirred up each seam, and trim
med down each seam with gay brocaded
satin in Cashmere colors. Silk fringe
tied in the hem trims the front and side
breadths, while that behind, which is
very much fuller, has deep knife-pleat-
ing like the tlounce below it. A cluster

The English brink Bill.

The national drink bill is very
alarming document; and, though sub
ject to fluctuations, it increased most rap
idly during the period of prosperity
which followed the year 1862 1t rose
from e1l2,SS5,603 in that year to f147, )
2S8, ,759 in 1876; or, put in another way,
the expenditure per head rose from e3
16s to e4 9s. During the last two years
of commercial depression this amount
has been reduced by 95,000,000 year,
but it still exceeds 9142,000,000. The
whole of this enormous expenditure, how
ever must not be attributed to increased
intemperance. A large proportion prof.
Leone Levi calculates four-fifths) repre-
sents the moderate consumption Of the
temperate.
Higher wages and increased incomes
enabled all classes to live better, and to
consume larger amount of the luxuries
and the necessaries of life The con-
sumption of tea, coffee, and sugar in
creased more rapidly than that of beer
and spirits 1t is calculated that the
consumption of sugar per head rose from
33.l1 pounds in 1860 to SO pounds in
1876; of tea, from 2.67 pounds in 1860
to 4.50 pounds in 1876; and during the
same period the consumption of spirits,
rose from 0.93 gallons to 1.27 gallons; of
malt, from As bushels to bushels per
head. The statistics, therefore, though
they represent the amount of drinking,
are not an accurate measure of the
amount of drunkenness which prevails.
The Police returns are not more trust
worthy guides. The number of persons
apprehended for drunkenness was l00,-
957 in 1867; 13l ,S70 in 1870 and 203,989
in 1875; SO that in nine years the num-
bers were more than double. If all other
causes were constant, this enormous in
crease might be taken as proof that the
character of the population had deterior-
ated; but these statistics are affected not
only by alterations in the law, but also
by number of circumstances which
vary at different times and in different
localities. We will quote two cases to
explain our meaning: The towns of
Birmingham and Manchester have about
the same poulation, but yet the number
of apprehensions for drunkenness in
1876 was in Manchester 9,612; in Bir-
mingham only 1924.
1t is scarcely probable that the iron
workers of Birmingham are much more
sober than the cotton spinners at Man
chester, but it appears that the former
town covers larger area than the latter.
In the one case every policeman has to
watch over 16 acres and 66l persons; in
the other he has only 5 acres and 442 per-
sons. The disproportion will, to great
extent, account for the apparent sobriety
of Birmingham. Mr.. Chamberlain, in
in his evidence, somewhat significantly
says: "The statistics of Birmingham might
tomorrow be made ten times as bad as
they were before; just one turn of the
screw would bring in ten times the num-
ber."
