CLIPPINGS FOR WOMEN.
American Women Particular.

American Women Partlcular. Brooklyn Eagle.
 It must be very hard for a dressmaker to go home without bringing something entirely new to a class of women who must have something new, whether or no. The American woman is far more exact ing than the French woman. Very few of the latter demand an entirely new style, provided they are dressed with faultless taste; with new styles in the often unnoticed details, they are satisfied.
 Not so is the average American wo- man; she desires to make a sensation With her clothes on the spot; strike the eye with something pronounced. Now, the American woman who habitually gets her gown in Paris soon learns to abide by the quiet taste of her couturiere, and she then becomes, to the eyes of those who know, the most beautiful, the most grace full, because she is the handsomest woman in the world ,and the most distinguished also.

A QUERY.

Oh! what is the sad in the fall-time, That's not, in the June tide sweet; And what is the glad in its tender green, That's not, in the ripening wheat. Oh! what is the blithe in the day-dawn, That's not, in the twilight dim; And what is the joy in the morning song That's not, in the evening hymn. Oh! what is the bleak in the cloud
 wreathed,
 That's not, in the sun-lt sky; And what is the grace of day unborn, That's not, in the years gone by.
