NEW YORK." NEW STYLES. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Nzw Yors, Sept. 27.—Two uew styles of cos- tume have made their appearance during the past few days, and both are elegant, novel, and pleasing. lence you may be sure they have at once et with high favor. The first and princi- pal of these is the Lozenge dress. Its name is taken from the lozenge-shaped pieces of lace which completely cover the costume. A skirt of any brightcolored silk is made long and plain, and over it is this other skirt, apparently of lace. These losenges are fastened together at their points or extremitics, and so form openings of shape simalar to tuemselves. The ! original Lozenge dress was of ccru thread- ivory-colored barege. lace worn over There I8 now no restriction us lo color or material in the skirt, and the lozenges themselves are of different sorts. Tne features of the dress are a pleated skir, and over this the lozenges so arranged that between them the dress should be seeu. The back of the long pleated train is crossed by a scarf of lnce and lozenges, and ornamented by 2 bow with long loops and cnds. The walst is all pleated, and above the pleats arc lozenges of lace. A faille or ribbon belt contines the waist, and is fastened in front by a handsome buckle. The original dress, which was of ivory barege, moss-green faille, and ecru thread lace, is being: largzely copied m other colors and combinations. Blacks or-white lace over cherry, rose, purple, dark blue, or yellow, and white or delicate ecru over turquoise-lue and saffron-pink, are consid- cred among the most elewant. For young la- dies foulards of handsome Chincse varicty are preferred, while rich silks and faitles take preced- ence for elder ladies. THE SBECOND NEW DRESS DESIGN is the Marguerite, aud_very lovely it is. The Margzuerite is o form of the Princesse, and is designed for home dresses, informal dinners, and other such oceasions. There is, to begin with, the regular well-fitting, elegant robe, into whicl 5 inscrted a front of the same material, but of a lighter shade than the dress. This 1ront, which is shaped like the usual {ront breadth, narrowing at the belt and extending from throat to foot, is piped alont its edees with silk that in color either contrasts or Lar- monizes with the dress. This inserted piece is down its entite length one mass of rich em- Droidery done in sitk or floss of all colors. ‘This is known as the * broderies multicolores,” and is to be much worn during the winter. At the back of the bouice is a square of em- broidery, and this bodice is laced quite far down with a hicavy silken cord termination with tas- sels. The long train is pieated and the sides are embroidered to match the front. ‘The sleeves are usuully a plain coat-shape, ished by a vleating of cashmere and one of silk, Loth ornamented by a heading of embroidered revers, ‘This style of dress is desizned only for cashmere, but in all probavility it will be re- vroduced in other fabrics. One sent over as s model is richly embroidered with flame color and witk: pipings, ete., of tame-colored silk. 1t is very rich. Another, in twosbades of bufl, is embroidered in black, is exceedingly handsome, aud has already been duplicated. One s being made of moss-green cashmere; the insertod {ront, barely one degree Jighter, is'very beauti- ful. "The front is thickly embroidered with dots ot rose color and silver, and the pivings of the front and the plisses of the slecves are of rose- colored satin. People with * lots of money should dress well. They find no_ditficulty In doing so, and often duserve mo crediv for it. It s those to whom is given alove of the beautiful and an exquisite taste in one hand anda purse wofully light in_ the other, tnat should be warmly praised, iu this day of extravazance, for making much out of little, for being pretuily, tastefuily, and stylish- 1y dressed when every quarter of & yard must do its full share. NEVER JIAVE TIINGS BEEN SO CHEAP, really handsome things been with- of sumany. . One_of our largest houses gave openings last Wednesday und Thursday. On the first dav were displayed the Paris_models and dresses gorzeous beyond description, and elegaut carriages deposited their fair freisht to inspect_all this splendor And ladies lovked and left: for the pric Thursday the plainer dresses, but all landsome, all stylish, all ressonable in price, were displayed and from stases and modest coupes came a surge of feminine fairness that swept all the dresses away, I can’t make a moral, but perhiaps you see one here, for now these dealers tell me they would prefer to cater to the buyers of Thursday than the lookers-on of Wednesday.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Paris, Scpt. 15.—Trimmings and appendages of toilets seem of more importance at present than materials which compose the dress, and the bewildering varicty of these almost defies description. [t would not be difficult to im- agine that fashion bad been ransacking the ward- robe of Queen Elizabeth, as embroidered plas- trous in strange devices remind us of the “roy- al stomachers or foreparts of white satin, em- broidered ail over with spiders, flies, and roundels, with cobwebs of Venice gold and tawny silk,” and as delicate feather trim- miog is displuyed tor adorning evening toilettes, and silk braids wrought with pearl and garnet beads contrast their beauty, it secms impossible that the “hundred French gowns,” or “the one hundred and two round gowns” of the vain Queen could have been more handsomely orna- mented than those of the present day. Even the simple toilettes known as ‘“grisailles,” which serve for iransition between the costumes of summer aud those of autumn, assume an clerant appearance when trimmed with the hand-embroidered satin bands especiully de- signed for them this season, and on this ac- count they have been bronght more Yromlnenuy into nof Although rather a misnomer, the grisaflles now include small checked silks of Gther colors than black and white; and those of maroon and white are remarkable for their beauty when trimmed with maroon satin bands embroidered with white running vioes and leaves. COSTUMES NOW IN PREPARATION FOR COOLER WEATHER display combinations of scarlet and copper-color with greenish browns, and moss, and lchen hues; rose with olive and dark greens; cafe au lait with tle green; and light blue with bronze; whilé many of the new French fabrics, Known as moss cloth, are made eutirely of that material without any coutrasting shades of silk. Visiting toilettes arc to have trains of extraordinury length, and those whose means are inadequate for the supply of separate toilettes for all occasions will probably retain the demi-trained skirt, as most suitable to per- form the double duty of promenade and visit- ing costume. The extra long trains are well adapted to the surroundings of a Duchess of the Lue Grenelle, but they will prove absolutely ridiculous if pedestrians at- tempt to munage them. I will remark, en passant, that the promenade costumes of.- this Ducliess are inade to escape the ground, and, as her tolettes never compromise with each other tor various occasions, those for visiting never do duty on the promenade, nor has the walking- suit intruded on formal occasions. A solution of the question regarding SUORT DRES3ZS FOR THE STREET would not be diflicult, if sound judgment and refined taste could Ze it; but an iucreas- ing disregard of the laws of harmony and true clegance by the public generally promises s Tong postponement of a sensible view resard- ing the matier, and, contrary to early iudica- tions this seasot, the masses azain aceept long dresses in the street.

Sketches at a French Watering- Place. Plomptitude of Middle- Aged Women in France. The Gambetta in His Yonth--Dining in Paris—Beggars m Rome. A FRENCH WATERING-PLACE. A lady correspondent of the New York Evening Mail writes from Trouville, the noted French watering-place, a8 follows: ‘“One is so sleepy in the delicious sunshine after one’s morping talk and 10 o'clock de- jeuner; and it is so. sweet to besleepy within sound of the cooing waves, with feet half buried in the warm, dry sand, with the human ‘voices around murmuring a drowsy monotone, and the back legs of one’s chair driven into the sand, tilting one to just the angleso dear tothe American soul, but which the female American body never dare assume save on the Trouville sands. * I look af my neizhbor, and see that sheis about 33 years of age, the age at which appear to be the great majority of the ladies of France. She wears a handsome diamond over her wed- ding-ring, and the French badge of matronhood —a tiny pair of diamond solitaires—in her ears. She bad an opulent bust, and a waist cruelly compressed by inexorable stays. Just below the waist, her pounds avoirdupois, curtailed of their fair proportions higher up, burst: into a riotous aflluence of contour. She is lavishly powdered, but not rougzed, and her teet, although more shapely, are as large as those of the Englishwomar in broad straw hat and hot, heavy feathers the other side of me. By all these sizns I recoznize her_as the typical woman of ber race and Kind. No one coukl mistake her for one of the English matrons who tramp—yea, verily tramp—over the sands every day. By that mustache she is not American or German; hers s Gallie, not Saxon, blood. By those fect oue can swear that she is not Spanist, and that she is not ltadan, because on her hair is no meretricious Iustre of the hair oils and pomades that daughters of that sunny clime loveso well. She is French to the minutest atom of her body, and by her elegant toilette probably Parisienne. ** Then I begin to wonder whyit is that French women. slender to fragility in_youth, begin at 30 to develop into such massive and mizht) creatures, that the sublimest efforts of their lives are those put forth to check supeérabunaant flesh.

Leon was a dilizent pupil; his copies Were * of remarkable neatness, and the prieste me. proud of him. At first they did nbtnluemp::: suppress his readings nor find fault when he de. claimed to the other children the speeches and Teading articles published in the favorite paper of his family. Duringz the exciting months of 1848, Mmc. Gambetta rewarded her son when ho had won good marks by smuswling into the seminary the papers received at the Bazaar, and the boy continued to declaim the incendiary ar: s unchecked by the pricsts. Isut, when Lonis Napolcon became President young Gambetta was taken to task for his re. publicanism. He was scolded, locked up, and eeverely punished; worst of ali, his favorite. ational was confiscated. Learning of this, his mother cat the most remarksble speeches from the paper, and surreptitiously sent them to him in cakes, ies, snd articles of clothiug. Fmally the priests resorted to the extreme measure oy cxpilsion, informing his fother tht Legn was forming the school into a club of Jacobite urchins. Accordingly he was taken home in His father met him with a frown; his motaer blamed nerscli for stuffing his head with the National, while the neighbors prophesied that he would be shot. In this yeur (1549) agents of the Governmens were sent into the departmental towns to in- timidate the weak and make out lists of those who might oppose the re-establishment of the empire. - Scarcely had the aveat bezun his work in Cahors when Leon's father shut him upin the lyccum, where be remained cut off utterly from the outer world antil he had com- hleted the course for @ bachelor’s deerce. Then con was taken home again. _His father at onee told him he had cnough of buoks, and musy apply himself to trade. It was useless for him to picad the want of taste for buying and sell- ing, the father suid he mustacquire it: besides the establishment was an old and bonorable one, and must be kept in the family. The mother, with decidedly ill-grace, coincided. Leon’s last lhope died "away, and he settled downin the Buzaar. The .Vational had been stopped; neighbors ceased to be friendly; few dared utter their convictions. ‘The boy sickened of his ewployment. He de- termined to go to Paris, where he hoped to sup- rt himself, for a while at least, by teaching, ut hie had not a single friend to Fo to for ad- vice, knew no one in the Capital, and had no money to xet there. It was in this emerzency that bis mother came to the relief. Having no- ticed his perplexity for several weeks, she one day beckoned him to her side, aud gladdened his heart by telling him sie saw it was of no nse forcing i to continue in an irksome business, and that she had resolved to help him seck out the vocation which nature had prepared for him. Placing 3 bag of mouey which she_had secretly amassed in bis hand, she “This, my hoy, is to pay your way for a year. A trunk full of clothes is ready for you. Try and come home somebody. Start soon, and take care to let no- body suspect you are zoing awas. Do mot say gool-by toa siugle soul. I want to avoid a Scene between you and your father.” On reaching Parls he went at_once to the famous Sorbonne, ard hired the cheapest room. * Then he wrote to his mother. She replied al- most by the next mail, announcing the excessive anger of Gambetta pere, and expressing the lear that he would never pardon her boy for sacri- ficing 2 good position for a wild-goose adyenture, In the law-school Prof. Valette was attracted to the slender bov by his assiduity,and at the close of the first year drew from Lim his history and aspirations. He dissuaded Leon from becoming a law-teacher, urging hitn not to throw away his remarkable voice in 3 class-room, but to prepare for the Bar. At the same time, he wrote to bis father, remonsirating witi: him for nursing anger against his sup, and suggesting a little money spent on him would prove the best investment the family bad ever made. “I'his letter is said to have produced an intense senszation in little Canors. Mme. Gambetta was delighted. The neirhbors took the buy's purt, and the father wus forced to relent. He gave his son an allowavce. In less than two years Leon passed all his law examinations with dis- tinction. He had mastered the civil. criminal, military, forest, and maritime codes and the commentarivs on them of the standard author- jties. In 1860, he was cafled to the Bar, and after arguing his first case was bewzed by M. Cremieux, the leading jurisconsult, to_beome his private secretary, woich he did.

In the boulevardsand in the arcadesof the Palais Roval are famous, time-houvred restau- rants, where the best of dinners may be had— frood but cxpensive. But it will zencrally be found more convenient—certainly more seonom- ical—to dine where the price is tixed. Oneof the best of these places, the: Brabant-Vachette, furnishes s faultless dinner, wine not included, in an clegant room for $1.20, Near by is sn- other place,—long deservedly popular,—the Diner de Paris. For $1 yon may have soup, but- ter, und a sardine, or radishes—any three dishes you may choose from a varied bill of Tare, of fish, vegetables, meats, or puudiag, a salad, an icecream, and two articles of dessert of your sclection—and also, either a botilé of English ale, or of common wine, or half a bottle of choice wine. The materials are excellent, and the meats, well :cooked for you expressly, are served bot. Another Testaurant on the same plan, aud similar also in quality and price, bas been opened within & few days'in the Palais Royal. Dinuers at mnch lower fixed prices may be had Ia many places, inferior to those meutioned, above, yet quite tolerable. I have before me the .advertisement of one of these, offering soup, a plate of vegeta- bles or fish, a desert, and wine for 22 centa. For dinvers at the_table d’hote of the large hotels you pay $1.20, poor wine included. 1t is better to dine nere. There is another ¢lass of restaurants known as Establishments de Bouillon.

New York Sun. Soon after the opening of the Languedoc Canal, the Gambetti cstablished 2 Genoese bazar in the Town of - Cahors. The link of symnpathy between the townand Paris was the Autional newspaper, founded in 1827 by MM. Thiers and Armand Carrel. It was taken at the Bazaar and engerly read by the young wife of the ncad of the establishment. Their chil- dren grew up Instilled with the doctrines an- nounced and debated in’ the journal. The first of the boys to scek a wife in France was Leon Gambetta's father, who was also the last to carry on the old business. His bride belonzea to a larze family, had been orphaned in infancy, and been raised by an elder sister. Upon set- tling at the Bazaar she soon evinced quite an absorbing passion for the National, and after Leon's birth (Oct. 30, 133) she used it in teach- ing bim how to read. As a boy Leon was sell-willed, frank, boister- ously mirthful, and much given to breaking Jouse from the paternal restraint at the Bazaar and rambling about the old town. When these rambles were forbidden, as happened very fre- quently, be southt his mother, aud be: 1 her to read again and again the speeches of Thiers and Guizot in the Nutional. In his sth year ne was sent to the Jesuits’ preparatory school ut Monfaucon, the father being persuaded that Leon was rillinz his head with frothy orations when he shouid be learnivg accoanis aud writ- them no mere, as they have all been gathered into an asylum provided for them by the city- It was estimated last winter that the number of these real or would-be blind, lame, halt, and in- firm beings was not less than 600. It is larger, however, In the winter than in the summer, 38 the contadinl, who have little or nothing to est inthe country, come into the city to bez, thus gaining a liberal sustenance from charity. Al toe professional begzars, who are well known to the police, havc been taken to their new home in the former Con- vent of Sette Sale, but they have shown them= scives 5o averse to accenting these kind offices of the city that it is evident that after all they had rather a merry life of it. Sitting all day long on the strect-coruers, and calling il faint and pitiful voices on the sympathies charitable persons, and displaying their persos- al defects to a kind public, was not all of this gypsy life. Aftera well-spent day the fortunate mendicant who Had known how to plead ‘wel Tus cause retired with a bag full of pennies 50, perhaps 100—to a neigLboring osteria, where wine, and oil, and a well-filled dish of macarof awaited him or elsc returned to a comfortable home and wcll-dressed_relatives.
