Thoso will be mingled with jot, and Fronch taste will make them simply oxquisito. There will bo ombroideries and fringes, 'The former will cover tho entire tablier of dresses, head tho flounces, and, with friuge to match, orna- ment tho polonaise, Theso, with very dark, ‘oxydized silver ornaments, will bo the newest, but thero aro all- sorts of fringos in ney pattorns, among which aro beavy wool fringes for camel's hair cloth, which Js to bo in high favor this wintor. Flat galloons, with jot and steel interwoven, will also bo iu do- mand, Thero will also’ bo haudsome aud very oxponsive cut-stoel ornaments. Bilk and wool smbroidery on camel’s hair polonaises is also | rontinued from last senson, varying somewhat n dosign and combination. And now to that important part of a woman's loilet, THE WAT, OR BONNET. ¢ It is rumored that tho altitude is diminished; that the crowns will bo low and lmgo, fitting closoly ovor tho hair, while the'coronets will bo broad and embollishod. with full faco-trimming. The crowns will bo perfectly plain, but flowors wil bo placed on them -anywhere,—for wroaths boueath .. the brim, clustored &t tho #des, huddled behind, =aud some- Almos clamboring to the crown; but for tho coronet, moat rochorcho of all, will bo & band of ostrica-festhers, Tho coronot is to stand out well from the crown, to admit of s scarf of soft gilk boing twisted around tho lattor Jn & carcless fashion, and held ot tho side with somo ono of tho new ornaments. Stroamers will not bo as much worn, and featliors and flowers Fill join their forces in sn all-conquoring effect, which will be charming or otherwise, as they are blouled by a skilled hand directed by exquisito tasto, or aro the result of such fancies sy might soem to uaturnlly avigo in the biain of an An- gelica Paild.

The brouze-greens aro also in high favor, called, m honor of the Bliah, Per- einn greons. ‘I'wo or three long cock’s plumes in thi siado, hold by n cut-steol ornawent, will be much worn ou round hats, *Smail fruits are also rcen among the flowor-garniture for bonuots, and two_or three ostrich plumes aro worn ou these, For round hats, one long plume is more desirable; and bappy the womau who own & variety of these oxpeusive oruaments, 80 that she can chango her hat oy oftou as sho does her dress, Some feathers ore slio made into aigrettos, nud somo are vory cunepicuous, Wings will be worn, but will not be considered 80 desirablo as they wore last winter, Tho orus- mment known a8 the Shah aigretto will be for n time the most sought after.

Thie question desorves a stirring discussion at this vory timo, Tho presont and rising gonera- tion of our American people of Puritan doscont havo vory vaguo idons 18 to tho roason of thoir projudice aginst recreation on Sunday. Tho outery that the clergy make against what thoy call Sabbath-desocration is listencd to, without ealling upon thoso gentlomon to define what they mean by such an appalling nome, or to give their yeasons for dubbingit o sin to indulge in socinl and musicsl smenitics on oven tho Lord's Day. g . ‘Itia to bo dosired that some ono who baos the ‘historios of the lnst two centuries at hand would ivo us a littlo of tho bistory of the: Puritan iabbath, and how it grew to be tho storn institu- tion of carly days, aud sa it is still obseived by many among us.
