The Fashionable Girls of New
York.


Girls never dressed more becomingly
than they do now. The tabernacle
dresses, copied after the English models
show their figures in q most bewitching
way, and bring out all the good points
with an emphasis truly satisfactory TO
the eye of man. The Newmarket coats
are particularly attractive as they are
now cut. Take tall shapely girl, boil
her down and mold her down into tai
or.made Newmarket coat, which will
fit her as snugly as stretched rubber,
and she looks about as Jolly as it is poss-
ible to make her. Our American girls
knock their English cousins out in this
sort of dress. because they have got
such pretty little feet to stand on. Many
of the English girls now III town have
certain Straight backed carriage that is
very stylish, and from the waist up very
voluptuous and wholesome; but when
they are looked at rs an entirety, they
are found TO be wanting. For Instance,
the distance from the waist-beit down
TO the feet is usually too short,the breadth
OF the hips too great, and the
sze of the feet beneath the Newmarket
coat is invariably mOnstrous. 1t would
not be so bad after ali, if these English
girls would wear big, but Well-titt
shoes. The trouble is they try to fit
there feet into little shoes, and the re-
suit is they Top over at the side and
bulge out at the joints, giving unmistak-
able indications of corns and bunions.
But the 5right-eyed American girls, with
their easy carriage and graceful swing,
rather profit bv the Newmarket coat, as
the skirts are cut short, and their per-
feet feet well displayed. 1t is great
thing to see our girls in the afternoons
parading up and down Fifth avenue,
dressed in these tight-fittiug costumes
with little square-toed boots, silver
handled umbrellas. small turbans with
