Ladies' Fall and Winter Dresses.

The earliest importations of French
dresses are made up of short dresses
for day wear, with very long trained
skirts for full dress; the medium demi-
train does not appear in the first in
voices. Very rich fabrics that give the
greatest appearance of warmth are
used, such rs the polkardotted velvets,
brocaded velvet with large detached
figures, and plush, with cloth for plain
er costumes; the warmest colors also
appear in abundance, especially in the
accessories that form trimmings, though
many beautiful costumes are shown in
two tones of the same color, especially
when heliotrope or other puppies are
employed. The dull copper reds are
very stylish as an illumination for black;
heliOtrOpe and lavender are also effect
lively used with black. The satin en-
ployed for draperies is very soft, and is
called Surah satin, though its lustrous
surface requires close weaving that
conceals the twills that are the special
feature Of Surah silks. The cOrsages of
new dresses are made with as few
seams as possible, and are therefore Of
the simplest shapes. The short side
forms Of the back are used almost with
ont exception, though some modistes
still prefer having two side forms in the
way introduced By Worth several years
ago. Skirts Of French dresses are

Fashions WOndrous Changes.

ONE thing greatly amused me: Last
season at Saratoga overheard lady
from New York describing the dress Of
q Shakeress, which she declared was
too prim and ridiculous to be seen in.
1t is wonderful what changes few
short months will bring in ones
opinions and the style of ones dress,
especially of a woman's: To-day d.
rectly in front of me in the meeting
house sat my Saratoga critic, clad in
dress which was almost an exact copy
of the Shaker garb-a short killed skirt
of just the heliotrope shade which the
sisters wear, and with round waist
gathered at the belt, over which was
deity laid the neat folds of an India
null handkerchief. She was actually
dressed in the ''prim and ridiculous
costume over which she had so recent
ly shrugged her pretty shoulders and
turned up her little aristocratic nose.
But then she did not look like Shak-
eress after all, for upon her graceful
head was placed flower garden and
fruit stall, yclept hat, that in turn
would have been set upon and scoffed
at by every right-minded Shakeress in
the house; and upon her dainty feet
were worn q pair of French-heel kid
boots that in contrast with the flat bot
toned CATERS of the sisters was a
shameful frivolity, not to be tolerated
by q disciple of Mother Ann Lee. IN

AMONG many other Irish grievances
which have at various times called for
Parliamentary interference there is one
which no longer exists. In former days
Ireland was afflicted with q plague Of
wolves, which not only committed dep
relations on the cattle in the country,
but sometimes on winter nights entered
villages and the suburbs of towns. In
1862 Sir John Ponsonby, in the Irish
House Of Commons, reported the great
increase Of wolves, and the same was
/ grievance. The House made q law for
the taking and killing Of them. The
wolves, however, grew in numbers and
boldness, and even at the beginning Of
the last century continued to Be great
nuisance. They are now extinct, and
90 is the breed Of large Irish wolf dogs
kept to destroy them.

Weinwurm, DR.. Hullah found good
voices and correct intonation, but the
singing was entirely by ear, and the pupils
failed altogether in reading a simple pas
sage written for them ON the blackboard.
In Bohemia and Saxony things were lit
tie or no better; but in Berlin The teach
ing was found generally superior to that
in any other parts of Germany, while in
Hanover again there was no singing from
notes. In Switzerland, Holland and
Belgium the music tea ching appears to
be more thorough than in other places
which DR.. Hullah visited. The general
conclusion arrived at in the report is
that the natural musical power of the
English is equal to that of the German
or any other people, but that its cultiva-
tlon is less extended.
On the Continent, the attendance of
children at school is both longer con-
tinued and more regular; the amount of
teaching force brought to bear on them
is greater, and the pupils display more
eagerness to learn. In the German nor
mal-schools for teachers more attention
is given to musical instruction than is
the case here; but in the elementary
schools the results Of the teaching are
mostly, to quote the report, "the poorest
conceivable; whereas, in Switzerland, in
Holland, and in Belgium, such results
are in an eminent degree satisfactory"
The difference arises from the fact that
in the latter the reading of music is
taught from an early age; while in Ger
many, as already mentioned, sing
ing is mostly taught entirely by the
ear. DR.. Hullah thinks it posi-
BILE to place musical education in this
country on level with that of Holland
or Belgium, and strongly urges for this
end the training of sufficient number
of teachers, and the appointment Of
properly qualified musical inspectors

1t is said that during the past mild
winter large quantities of ice were gath
cred from canals and ponds containing
much decaying animal and vegetable
matters. Now, as it had been demon
strated, over and over again, that the
freezing temperature does not free water
from organic impurities, people who
value their health will not put such ice
into water which is to be used for drink
ing purposes, and corporations that sell
ice will do we'll to warn purchasers, when
handling over ice obtained from contain
mated sources of supply, with regard to
the improper employment Of it, or the
law will find occasion to make not only
serious diminution of the dividends of
these corporations, but still more Sc
rious restriction of the personal liberty

GERS. One OF the great dangers to the

Gautier As a Writer ON Art.

The foremost of these writer's, and one
Of the most accomplished of the century,
was Theophile Gautier His work is the
central example Of the habitual transfer
to creative literature Of those forms of
language which properly belong to the
critical treatment Of the works of art.
No considerable man of letters has ever,
I think, left body of writings so thin
in human interest, SO careless in the
grasp Of character, action and event. The
charm and movement which his tales
often possess depend less on any human
ity in their personages than on their WV
idness, and often the high grace and fan
tasy, with which they are conjured up
in their physical presence and costume.
Often, as at the beginning of "Le Cap
itaine Fracasse," the story is intolerably
delayed by protracted passages of sta
tionary picturesque description. And
in the short and highly wrought lyrics
which are his poetical masterpieces, it is
amazing how Gautier contrives to ex-
press everything in terms of material
imagery.
OF thought, striking out vital rela-
tions between things in nature, or Of
feeling, the cry of the heart, there is lit
tie; but instead, a procession Of pictures
in language quite free from gush or re-
dundancy, and as pure and clear as it is
vivid and various. The poet calls up the
memories of his past life, and memory is
white and misty figure Of a woman who
leads him by clue, like Ariadne, down
deserted forest side to an ancient tur-
reted manor-house; no smoke traces its
blue furrow against the sky; the chains
of the drawbridge are broken, the water
lies in verdigriscolored pools in the
moats; the ivy fills the crevices. He goes
on past the marble monsters of the EN-
trance; the old dog lifts his head and
drops it again; he enters the hall, on the
tapestries Of which Apollo here pursues
Daphne and there guards the sheep of
Admetus, and where Solitude writes with
her finger the word "desolation'' i'm the
dust; and presently he reviews one by
one the portraits hung upon the walls,
and each realized in q perfect word-pic
ture, Of bis former mistresses. This is
not an isolated example, but an instance
Of the method of Gautier everywhere,
even in the criticism of literature, as
where he characterizes Hugo's style, not
| by definitions in terms Of the subject,
but by images borrowed from Gothic
architecture.

from DIR. Hullah's report to have been
the case. At Stuttgart, for instance, he
found the pupils singing mostly "by

twelve years Of age to read music at all.

years too late.
