Pamts, April 14.—The common expression, **Triste a8 3 bounet de nuit,” has puzzled many, bt the tristesse of 2 ** bonnet de jour” was recent- 1y exemplified in the drizzling rain at Longchamps at the openmg of the races. Among the hats which were metamorphosed into bonnets de nuit by the dampness, one of dainty chip,fwith marabont pompons, hung limo about the face of the wearer, rendering it positively a caricatore. This, with a few others, were exceptional cases, but, neverthe- less, the general appearunce of the nats which had been prepared for the important occasion was not improved Dy the penetrating moistare, which also sadly changed the complexion of many of the wear- ers. Among this conspicuous display, individual taste was apparent In the endless variewy of shapes, but, in obedicnce to the exactions of fashfon, re- garding color, yellow predominated. * As Russian proclivities are atpresent in the agcendency, & military chapean, christened the Iiymatieff, hns made its appearance in honor of that General, whose physiognomy {s abont as attractive as the hat. This lion of the day, with his thick lips, flat nose, large cars, and disdainful expression, evident- ly disrcgards the efforts of the ladies to im- mortulize him, a8 he depurted for London without _ acknowledging the intended compli- ment of the admiring dames. As every passing gvent I3 eagorly grauped by fashion in her ‘search for novelties, ft s impossible to notice_ all the changes which follow each other In rapid succes- sion, and, therefore, itis only necessary to mention thoze which promise a continuance thronghout the Beason. Among these the long CORSAGE-CASAQUE, SQUARE TRAINS, AND DEEP EILT PLAITING scemed to enjo; the honors a8 are prominent, and at a recent opening a - visitin toilelte of plain bul foulard, mace 15 the' aboys manner, wus noticed as beinz peculiarly hand- some. 'The skirtwas of plain foulard, and the cocange-casaque of the new fonlard **a jour.” Bridal slippers are now made In Louls XVL style, with gold-cmbroidered hecls, and Jarge buckles of chased gold, confining roscites in front. At a recent wedding in the Church Saint Roche these Duckles were thickly studded with diamonds, and, as the present style demands dresses to be short in Iront, the effect was very beantifal. Tho bridal robe worn on this occasion Is_also worthy of men- tion, being formed of a new material of alternate stripes resémbling Spanish blonde and_snow-fiake £atin, with narrow pointlace quillings edging every stripe. A heavy satin cord outlied the trarn, and the conventional vell and flowers completed the charminz costume, To please those who admice bizacre styles, a yellow known as the *JAUNE IPSEBOE" . has been revived, and parasols are now scen of this color on the bonlevards, with eometimes a huge monogram -in red embroidered on them. Thls * juanc Ipscboe " was once worn by o few ladies of the Conrt. of Charles X., out of respect to the novel writer Vicomte d’Arlinconrt, who was then lionized fo a great extent. He introduces one of his principal heroides in a toilette of gorgeous yellow, buttoned with brass buttons diagonally across the front, and describes her gracerul mo. tions to the lively contortions of 8 worm cut in hulf by a gurdencr's spade. The devoton of the Vicomte to the Bourbon party obtained for him 8 credit which his merits a8 an author never could havedone, and which would otherwise have con- demned his heroines to oblivion or scorn. 1 s indecd a marvel how they have struggled Into life at the present time 28 models for the fashlonable world_when the Vicomte and his works were en- tirely ignored after the Revolution of_1830; bat it 18 maintaired that we have only borrowed the ** fuane Ipseboe, " and not the brass buttons, nor his conception Of graceful motion. There are, however, counteracting influences to this tendency towards volzarity, a8 modistes are morc inclined to study the artlatic costames seen on the Parisian smfr-e than to copy them from the demi-monde, Tehich bosts at times of originating fashions for e world, After Albant's recent trinmp, the greatest sensa- tion of the scason is i GOUNOD’S **CINCQ 3MARS,” at the Opera Comique, but the impatlent public who chafed ander frequent delays, snd at length eagerly thronged o witness its firstrepresentation, how ‘pronounce it unworthy the author of “*Faust.” Unforescen obstacles caused its post- ponement on eeveral occasions, and much d?nv— pointment wns experienced when the announce- | ment was made that Obin would not nssume the role of Father Joseph, as was long expected.
