L—A depertment of a 1ady’s toilet which requires as judicions 3 ju@g— ment and as refined s taste as her dress, with its appointments, is that containing ber nnd:au garments. I _know many women who pride themselves on their title of “lady,” and equally on their elegant exterior, who mever give a thought to the daintiness of their underwear. ‘Materials are so cheap and the facilities for cheap making so unlimited tbat it is in the power of all to provide = pretty if not a costly outfit. Pretty night-dresses, . with tucked yokes and a ruffle at neck and wrists, sell as low 8s §1.50. Of course, forthis amount, one must not expect linen or even eambric, but <he muslin is soft and of very good quality. Some very handsome robes de nuit, in process of mak- ing for a bridal troussean were shown me the other day. One, of fine cambric, has a yoke con- sisting of a wide full puff, with a band of fine embroidery on each side. This is followed by a piece of biss tucking, next to which are the puffing and insertion. The same is repeated acrogs the back. The yoke is cut in shallow, square scallops, and these are edged witha fine, deeply-scalloped embroidery. Down the front is a large, flat puff, trimmed on esch side with embroiders. Another has a double yoke, if there be such @ thing, of alternate rows of Valenciennes and Hamburg embroidery. The yoke is divided into an upper and lower part by & narrow pufl passing from shoulder to shoulder. From this depends a tiny gathered ruffle. Some very handsome drawers have a scanty pufl bordered on both sides by insertions, 2nd by a rufile edged with narrow Isce. Another dd and pretty pair has two bands of bias tucks ided by a series of four horizontal ones—the tucks du the upper band run from left to right, those in the lower vice versa A narrow pieated ruffle finished the bottom. Never Lave handsomer skirts been purchasable for such swall sums. A trained skirt of good quality of muslin has a cambric ruffle a foot deep. Above this are four narrow tucks, and the price is $1.50. A bandsome walking skirt, demi-train, has a ruffle § inches deep, finished with a Ham- burg edging sbout a finger wide. This em- broidery is scalloped in deep points, and be- ‘tween them shows a tiny plested rufile 2s deep as are the points. For this skirt only $2.20 is demanded. Everything is indeed incredibly cheap. I have lately seecn SOME SUPERB DERSSES which would carry off the palim for eleance of design and execution, but which can lay but lit- tle claim to economy. Oneisa handsome black e and 5w a ¢ box-pleat =i the Dok etk disposes the guods i gracctal folds.

The tablier consists af {folds, each beld in place by au ob- bong bow of black ribbon 2nd a diminutive slide of tinted steel. This dress is exceedingly band- sorze. Another elegant toilette, of dove-colored 1aille, has a decp side-pleated flounce across the front, and at the back five plisses diminishing slightly in width as they ascend. The polonaise is the shape i the back, aud the front is cut in three decp points, the one falling in the centre being a little the Jongest. A deep silk Lr‘mét, dove-olored, forms an_elegunt fin- ish.

THE ROMAN RIBEOSS, which formerly found such favor with us, are azain candidates for popularity. They are cer- tuinly very pretty, and,nsed 26 ornamentation on dress of subdued and delicate tints, they pro- duce a delightful effect. A very pretty over- ;li-cw oru‘ e bastis g,mngdesiv;?ul for wear over 3 i sill sl is ished witl Bows of Rom:r:\.ribbon in whk:’h sg;rnllel and blue dominate. The double ribbons are «till worn, and are a seimple and tasteful mode of .adorning white morn- ing-dresses. The little s worn around the shoulders of Parisiennes have found their way into our favor, and are largely used. They ard a pretty addition to a toilette otherwise too light or cool for evening wear at the sea shore. A pretty fancy exists now, which has life only from a sad cause,—the premature decline in favor of the black lace scarfs for the head. Ladies begin now to tire of the graceful folds of Chantilly, which formed such becoming head- dresses for out-of-door evening wear. Now there is a rage for drawing a straight piece of white tulle tightly over the face, pinning it at the back of the head and letting it fall in long euds to the waist. An exchange, noticing this fashion, remarks that it is *intensely becom- ing,” and, with s slight modification of the ad- verb, we may let the expression stand. The conceit is a novel but becoming one. THE PLAMING RED PARASOLS which are claimed to be the height of fashion in Paris appear to find little favor here, for in all my fons among places where fashion mnyiregutns 1 have scen but one. It wasof bright scarlet twilled silk, with a handle and point of ivory and coral. I cannot say that I ad- mire these_parasols; they scem to me t00 pro- nonee for thoroughly good taste. - For moruing wear, at home or among a party of informal intimates, there is nothing pretticr or more comfo: those dainty litde white sacques. A very lovelyr little one §s of lace serI)cd ‘muslin, The sacque is cut half tight-fitting and has near the bottom two rows of Hamburg open-work insertion abont an inch and a half apart. A band of edging finishes the edge. Net mits, in which reposed the hands of our honored “foremothers,” are again the rage for belles of to-day. Ladies with pretty hands will be quick to *follow the fashion,”” but mesdames atilicted with gaunt, scraggy hands will view the custom with wuwgrl. A fiying trip to the sea-shore last week show- td me some novelties in the way of 4 DRESSES FOR THE BEACH.” Narvy-blue cambric formed the skirt of 8 dress, which for trimming has a deep gathered flounce. This is surmounted by & biss band piped on either side with scarlet cambric, and the edge of the rutile is similarly piped. The overdress is an apron-front, with long, square cuds tied inalargebow at the back. The tablier and ends are bordered with scarlet linen fringe. The basque, t&tfif—flmng behind, but Joose front, is also edzed with fringe. The sleeves, coat-shaped to the elbow, fall from here to the wrist in a full flounce piped with scarlet. With this is worn a black straw hat trimmed with blue ribbon, and ornamented with clusters of bluebells and scarlet poppies. A bizarre, but, withal, & rather becoming, attire. MaTriE S. PARIS. THE AMERICAN COLONT. Special Correspopdence of The Tribune. Pamrs, July 22.—Notwithstanding the fm- oression that few Americans would visit Paris :his summer, we are enlivened by the presence >f & larger number than is asual for the season. Among visitors at the fashionable Basselievre Sarden-Concerts, which are the grand rendez- sous for the Parisian beau monde on Tuesday and Friday evenings, many ladies from the United States arc noted for the elegance of their tuilettes, Many of these dresses are the work of Parisian modistes, and are besutiful in the extreme. At the last concert several charming Philadelpbians were present, and, as the pro- verbial beauty and grace of these belles the Quiker -City are well kgows, seanely meccssary to add ppearnnce was el U, and s § demo ith the demands of the oe- casion. Several Chicago ladies were alsonoticed for their beauty and the charming arrange- ments of their wn:ge‘m._ Ons g’{t{. hr:.:f e&c;;ge 3 white grenadine robe, trimmex h ros silk, with a jsunty hat of white chip embedded in roses, which well suited the beautiful face that beamed beneath it. _Another was dressed in blue and white, charmingly srranged, with Tice straw bat and bloo ostrich tips, and al- though others deserve equal notice on account of personal besuty and pretty toilettes, it suf- fciently substantiates the good taste of our American visitors to state tbat they utterly dis- card the glaring combinations of gaudy colors now, ling for supremacy in the fashionable world. taste for @AUDY HUES in Paris has doubtless originated in admiration of the Oriental magnificence which has latel been so conspicuously brought to view; but {f we Jook beyond the charms ‘which painters and ts have thrown around a brilliant Orient, there will be found beneath the splendid vest- ments, described by Gautier, Hugo, Lamartine, and others, nothing to admire. Infact, Oriental costumes have been the subject of blind adora- tion for poets and painters from the seventeenth cen! , but an insight to the characters of these jewel ked mabobs will dim the most brilliant diamond that gze{:n‘n. This has alveady been y the SHAH OF PERSIA, who informs us that he again contemplates a visit to Paris. His reception will not be 8o regal as it was before, and our tradesmen have no ambition now to assume the dangerous title of furnishers to His Mejesty, as their old ac- counts with him are still unpaid. This jewel- bedecked monarch of subjects who are only rag-bearers, rules a land where all is misery, verty, and death. The Queen of Mad: Peais signified her intention of visiting Paris, and, as she is represented as a model sovereign, doubtless many of the refinements of our city will ere long adorn her palace of Tananarivou. The presence of the Grand Duke Constantine, with the Grand Duchess, and the King and 3\:2::\ of Greece, addsmuch to the gayety of aris. in accordance A GRAND DINNER was given yesterday to the royal visitors by M. Thiers, and some of our citizens whose palatial summer residences gre within the city’s bounds are making arrangements for regal fetes which:. promise to be equally brilliant. It is not neces- sary for Pari';?an women to leave the city in order to enjoy summer homes, as many beauti- ful ones are in itsprecincts. Thus, Victor Hugo resides in winter on the Rue de Clichy and in summer gt his villa Montmorency in the Six- teenth District of Paris; but the most elegant of these vity summer residences belongs to a Russian whose winter home is on the Rue Albe. In the unusual pumberof festive occasions, therc is O DISPLAY OP NOVELTY. in the toftettes. The polopaise in a great variety of form keeps it ground in the fashionable world. Dress skirts are still close-fifting at front and sides, whilst the back breadths have as much fullness as possible, and are in most instances very long. M. Vizentini is still look- ing for a Tirginie in London for M. Victor Masee's opers, as none can be found in Paris, and curiosity is still on the quivive to know ‘who the heroine will be. The opera eomique is equally unfortunate in having no prima donns, and more so on account of thewant of adirector, but the engagement of Albani at the Theatre- Italien promises & brilliant fature there. MATHILDE. A CIICAGO PARTY. MRS, SAXM WHIPPER OF “ OUR SIDE.” To the Edttor of The Tribune. CHIGAGO, Aug. 5.—I am a young man of not unprepossessing appearance, and although fond of sodety, from afear of Loring my friends keep, even in a large assemblage, somewhat by myself. I come of agood family, and so have ample. opportunity to gratify my passion for partics. No matter where onc is given or what the weather may be, I am always on hand, and though I seldom have much to say to the as- sembled guests, am often the last to take my leave. A few evenings ago Iattendeda grand entertainment given at one of the finest houses n the ¢ity. Ido not speak of the fine house as any great recommendation, as many of my pleasantest recollections are of gatherings in small houses. I arrived, as was my wont, quite early, and settled myself in one cormer of the dressing-room, where I could sece and hear all that was going on about me. It wasnot long before a number of gentlemen had come in and were standing about in groups putting on their gloves and telling over the news and gossip of the day, when my attention was attracted by the rustle of a dress in the a the simultancous appcarance of a short, dumpy little gentleman at the threshold of the gentlemen’s room. The conversation, which until then had proceeded without intcrruption, suddenly_ ceaseg, and all eyes were turned to the open door. The little gentleman with red eyes and puffy checks shuffied in_with an air of great importance, and was soon lost in the increasing crowd. The conversation began anew, and, from what I could hear, seemed to be busy with the new arrival as a subject. Ina group dlose at my clbow was a spruce oung man with a well-waxed mustache, which e twirled constantly, and who seemed to know almost every one present, apparently in answer to who the short ifi:;lsntlem:m was, said: “ Why! don’t you know him? It’s Mr. Samuel Whipper, of the ——Side.” They live on Tub strect. Very aristocratic. One of the ‘old familics.” They have rather a pretty dam;mer, but in my opinion she'is not over bright;” wherenpon our informant twirled his mustache more vigorousl, and looked uncommonly wise. As if by mutu: consent the group broke up, and some joined other “riends, waile others went to the parlors below. 1elipped out unnoticed myself, and, with as little delay as possible onsuch occasions, paid my respects to the host and hostess. Tn order that I might see who was present I sidled through the throng, and flnally took up a Posmou in one cornerof the room which secmed ittle frequented by theassembled guests. After standing some time with my back to the wall, wondering what the young lady in blue onthe opposite side of the room was laughing about, and if what she heard was really 50 amusing, or whether she might not be pretending, and i a flirty couple not far off had any idea bow silly they appeared, to- gether with a variety of such thoughts, I saw Miss Gigele come in, and, 8s she weat by, nodded a good evening. Presently the gentle- man left her, and knowing her to be a kind- hearted, sensible girl, and that she is somewhat acquainted with my eccentricities, I ventured to step over and offcr my arm for a promenade. When not studying how we might edge through some almost impcmelplible &pace, be- tween friends aund strangers, I was engaged in looking at the faces about me, or wondering what the people were talking about, and if they never got tired saying the same thing so often, or, if they didu't do that, where they found so much to say, and if they really interested their hearers. Miss Giggle paid no attention to me, but greeted her acquaintances on 21l sides as we moved slowly along or came to a stand, and seemed to enjoy berself -fully as much as if she ~ "had reecived my unbounded attention. After making one or two rounds of the parlor I excused myself, and, looking about, found a comfortable chair hid. den away behind beavy lace curtains in the bay window. Frum there, unobserved, I fould see all that occurred, and felt xp(:l’fef: ly free to in- dulge inalittle quict meditation. ~ While thus enfiagcd Iwas startled by a sharp, shrill voice, and looking up beheld our short gentleman with the pufly diceks, and on his arm a rather fleshy ladpwith a very red face, who was trying t cool herself by the vigorous use of a small ivory fan. I am deplorably ignorant sbont what la- dies wear, save that know_when their dress Jooks neat and _becoming, and I feel free to say that Mrs. Samuel Whipper's dress—for she it was—became her perfectly. “Samuel,” said she in a high-pitchied voice, “we will remain here. 1am tired walking about having my train trod upon. How carcless these young men are. Shouldn’t wear trains, did you say { Iwould Mke to know if the gentlemen are not the ones who make us wear them by admiring them¢ I am sure I would gladly dispose of mine, for I'm ashamed of it since Mrs. Crooked has comein. Samuel, Jo yousee Miss Giggle out there in the hall!_How strangely she behaves. 1 never saw such an acting girl. How glad I am our dear child is not like her. Just look. I do_believe that young manis squeezing her hand. All my imagination did you say? How dare you talk to me s0, Samuel? You must bear inmind weare not at home, and should not be scen disputing in company. uel, where are you zoing? You must not leave me, See some of the otlier people! And pray what is to become of me? Do you think I will allow Fon to go off and leave me here all alone? No ndeed. But Lere comes Mr. Twaddle, so you may go, and remember we go home directly af- ter supper * Good evening, Mr. Twaddle, T am delighted to sec you, and now thatIam rid of my hus- band—vou know we are not always in need of our husbands,—we can have a lttle chat all by ourselves. No, I thank you, I will not dance. I liketo rest now and then, and after alla pleasant tete-a-tete is far more enjoyable, es- pecially when one hss a pleasant companjon, And 50 you have moved overon ‘ourside.’ 1 am surc you will like it. Reserved? Yes, we area little retiring, but there isno harm in that. You see we have lived o much within ourselves, and some years ago the other side mot s much the start of us that we eanceived acreat | fur one anotier. and :mothing for, and which somehow have never gotten over it.”” “ Oh! ex- cuse me. Why, what a delightful place you have there behind the curtains,” said Mr. Twad- dle, as he trod on my unfortunate toes; “Mrs. Whipper, allow me to introduce my friend Mr. Saynothing, a gentleman of my profession.” &7 am delighted to meet you, Mr. Saynoth- ing, and especially so because I understand you are one of our rising young lawyers. Do you know, Mr. Saynothing, I have a ‘great admira- tion for all such men, they seem so persevering, and, besides that, the profession of law fits one to fill 50 many high positions in life. Think of our statesmen and editors, of our scientists and economists who were once lawyers.” g 1 thought, and after revolving the subject in my mind, came to the same conclusfon I had reached on previous occasions, viz : that, asa profession, the law offers more inducements for the study of economy than any other I know, “I have been chlnkl:gs since my arrival this evening,” continned . Whipper, “of the y’oun% people of our %ruz city, and how differ- ent they are, especially the young ladies, from those of my time. Now, I donot refer particu- larly to those of ‘ our side,’ for I know they are far guperior’ to, and much more retiring in their behavior than are our neighbors:across the river. But one thing am certain of, and that is, they are not nearly so bright, nor are they as preity as we used to be. Their lack of knowledge s really lamentable, and if this is to increase in the same proportion what will become of the succeeding generations? Added to this, some of them will flirt. Now there's Miss Giggle. Do you know I saw her only a short time ago sitfing in the hall with a gentle- man, and I am positive he squeezed her hand. If it h been my daughter, evea in this large company, I would have— Why, where are my glasses? I believe she is sitting thero now. Mr. Saynothing, give me your arm, please. No, I was mistaken.” And 50 we retired again to the window, where she resumed her seat in my chair, and I stood listening patiently, wondering if that were all the otherswere saying. The music played, with now and then a %flusv: the Mpeo{:le danced, and talked, and laughed, but Mr: "hfi)per talked on without intermission. told me of her last summer’s trip, of her intended one this summer, of her house, of her children, of the time she rose in the morning, and when she re- tired at night; in flll."l of everything I cared B forgot almost as soon as it was uttered. She had begun on the sub- ject of breakfast and had informed me that they were tired of beefsteak and rolls, and could not driok coffee in summer, when she suddenly came to a full pause. I followed the direc- tion of ber glances out of the parlor door, across the hall to the supper-room entrance, when I discovered that which had so summarily dis- posed of our morning meal,—her husband, with 2 beautiful young lady on his arm, seemed to be sccking for sowe quiet corner where undis- tulrbcd they might cx%’oy their supper and them- selves. The young lady's face was radiant with smiles, Yor it was not often that Mr. Samuel Whipper deigned to favor cither young or old with so much_attention. Her soft blue eyes logked kindly into his great puffy face. Her velvet checks were flushed with a delicate blush, while two smiling lips exposed a double row of gfizfl—white teeth. Mrs. Whipper's bosom_ rose and fell like the troubled seas which tell of some near-approach- jug storm, and I do not deny that these signs filled me with a ‘secret joy; for had she not disturbed the peace and quiet of my little retreat, and spoken disparagingly of the young people of the present day, especially 60 of the one nearest my heart, the guileless kindhearted Miss Giggle? and had she not deterred me from visiting the supper-room, although the rattle of dishes, the hurrying to and fro of dusky waiters, with their shiny faces and white aprons, and the econstant flow of people through the open door, had caused bright visions of salads and oysters, ices, {ruits, and & multitude of nice things, together with a quiet corner all tomysel! to float through my brain? Yes, I was delizhted to lead ler to the supper-room, and it gave me great pleasure tofind her chair and place it close to that of Mr. Whipper’s, and then to watch with what a calm determination she proceeded to punish him for his indiscretion, Poor man, how I pitied him as he sat there trying to appear interested in charming Miss Teczle's account of her last burglary fright, and how excited she was on learning there had been men in 8 house three streets away, while Mrs. Whipper sat on the other side, and, at intervals of evergcminuts and a half, planted her elbow square between his ribs, asking at the same time if he did not enjoy the salad; if the cream was not unusually nice, and if he had noticed what miserable coffee it was, together with many other questions of alike nature, each ac- companied Dy a well-directed nudge, which |73 had the effect of bringing the arm, which was carefully carrying a well- filled sppon to " his ‘mouth, back 1o its original position, and causing himn to give sudden, and to Miss Teczle unaccountable starts, so that she finally asked if he were not well, or if he did not enjoy the cream, and sug- Fes!.cd that they had better return to the par- ors, and I obscrved particularly that, though they had discontinued coffce mornings, Mrs. W. drank it with & relish at night, and that rolls seemed to be very acceptable indeed on this oc- casion, but with still greater pleasure did I ex- cuse myself thereafter, and a very very happy halt hour-did I spend alone 1niny room that night, smoking my cigar and thin] of the aristocratic Mrs. Bamacl Whipper of -t ous side.” SI1MON SAYNOTHING. MATRIMONTAL. BROOKS—RAYMOND. One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred last Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock at the residence of the Hon. B. W. Ray- mond, the uncle of the bride. The cause was the marriage of.Mr.’J. W. Brooks, Jr., a prominent young merchant of this city, and a member of the wellkmown wholesale queens- ware firm of Pitkin & Brooks, to Miss Minnie L. Raymond, daughter 'of Mrs. Mary Ray- mond, well known among the young people of the Second Presbyterian Church, and estcem- ed by all for her many good qualities. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Monro Gibson, D. D., who used the beautiful marrigge service of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was one of the most quict and recherche affairs of the season, and there was no attempt at dis- vlay; all was conducted in the most cordial, home-like, and substantial manner. They were marricd in the drawing-room, with the beautiful soft light streaming through the open windows, at the hour when the lengthen- ing shadows betokened the close of one of the Toveliest of our summer days. The presents were Tich and elegant, and - cmbraced _many objects - of util- ity and vertu. Immediately after the cere- mony the newly-married couple took their de- arture for the East.

Yesterday a Day of Dullness at the Banks. The Produce Markets Less Active, and Irregular. Provisions Strong---Grain Tending . Downwards. FINANCIAL. Nothing occurred during yesterdzy to vary the dull routine ruling in financial affairs at this sea- s0n of the year. Transactions at the banks were mainly confined to counter business. City custom- era did not scem to be in need of funds, and the demand from country banks was moderate and far within the means of the city banks to supply. The opportanities to use money profitably a% tuls sea- son are limited, and hencc paper is carefully scru- tinized, for the question may well be asked. How can customers employ funda safely 8o as to make their interest? Those who can, are gladly accom- modated with all the money they ask for, at rates very considerably below the figures ruling to yearly customers. The fact is, money s still accamulat- ing largely in all the leading cities of the country. Of course, this state of things cannot materially change till business of all kinds becomes active, and the new era of prosperity for which the busi- ness public have been so long and eo anxiously waiting is fully fnangurated. ‘There was no change in the rates of discount at the banks. To castomers 8@10 per cent are the figures; but on first-class coilaterals many of them ‘would be glad to concede 1@2 per cent from these figures, —possibly on large sums even more than that.

Of this there is now fally 100,000 bris in eight or stock, which is not lees than 20 per cent of the whole production. The percentage of lard and meats on hand is fully equal to that figure. The first car-load of new spring arrived in the market Satardsy, consigned to McDermid & Oertel. ‘We referred yesterday to the difference in opin- fon that exists with regard to the consequences of tne position taken by the Committee on Appeals from grain inspection. It now appenrs that that differcnce is likely' to develop into something more than words. The principal shippers of corn from this market are understood to have taken connsel together, and arrived at the con- clusion that it will be necessary for them either to give up business or to be their own inspectors, and decide for themselves what corn they will take for shipment. They state that there is no other alter- native. Under recent rulings they have been obliged to take corn which they did not believe to be sound, and which has afterwards proved to be what they feared.
