Last Monday evening the merry jingle of slelgh bells were heard going from house to Lonse gathering up the pca};le who were willing to hm%.h o scorn the idea of rain, but no sooner were they well on their way than a steady down- pour causedfumbrellas to be hastilyjunfarled; then every one decided it would be much better to have an oyster supper, and Mrs. E. N, Can- ficld kindly Invited the company to her housc, where they had a very delightful time until 2 o'clock in the morning. Tharsday evening there wasa sociable party atthe Academy. Ar. H. M.

That primary law of present fashion, that every- thing should cling as cloge as possible, so far from being a ‘*dead letter,” is more antively enforced than ever before. The polonaise gives no evideuce of iwaning popularity, and even exhibits some mew and pleasing variations In shace and_trimmings. The Prin- cesse polobaise 18 probably the most admircd of all the numerous styles. An exceedingly hand- some onc of this sort has throuzh the cutlr centre of the front a lengthywise fasertion of rich stlk, while the back shows loo; slde-bodlal .and the graduated and symmetrical scatns ol ‘the charming Jarguerite modcl. Below the hips beglns the looping, and over it falls & pleated sash, which is brought from the uoder- arm seams. ' But popular as are polonaises, they by no means monopolize all thelavor.
