New YoRrk, Oct. 25.—Itis oiten remarked that a lady is judged by her ioves and shoes, and though these are certainly only small items in the tout ensemble, vet they possess a weighty importance. Never before were there o many varieties of glove, aud never was there less ex- cuse for a shiabby and unsightly glove, because prices in this line are o’ reasonable. The first choice for elegance is the undressed kid or the # gant de Sucide,” which can be bad in every conceivable color or tint, With any number of buttons between one and twenty-four, and at a variety of prie An excellent glove of this sort for visiting and the strect comes in all suitable shades with three buttous, and costs $1.10. Others of somewhat finer quality range from this to §1.65, while thosc with more buttons incresse in proportionate price. The aressed kid, of course, is still worn, ~and in this style you can obtain any thing you desire at-all prices. The mousquetafre glove, which meets over wrist ana arm like a stocking, cou es to hold its place, agd is in_demand for full dress and for dinner wear. The color of the glove is now al- most entirely optional. With a moss-green toilette, pear] color, cream, palest rose, Or a buff or linen tint are preferred. Very delicate and lizht gray are also clegant ehades. Among darker colors for more ordinary wear are dark brown, gray, and steel color, and threc is the number of buttons usually selected. There are Jadies who wear in the borse-cars and on ordi- nary shopping expeditions six and seven but- toned while sloves, but it is usually the same Jadies who wear solitaire diamonds in their cars and all their other portable jewelry somewhere in_ sight who affeet these, and their example gr0es for little amoug persons of taste and judg- ment. TOE ENOES which are to inclose aristocratic little feet arc veculiarly welt adapted to their end. For the street the scnsible English walking shoe will be worn with its zoud serviceable sole and its re- liable square heel. Shoes of this sort are mostly of finely-finished pebble goatskin, or of the beavier varieties of kid. Ihave scen some ad- mirable walkivg shoes made of highly-dressed calfskin, which were as easy and soft Lo the foot as the finest kid, Butioncd shoes are preferred be mst ladies, as they impart a handsomer ap- pearance to'the 1oot, but laced ones are in good stvle. Forthe bouse there are all sorts of retty and fantastic designs, sowme, very pleas- 5!;{, others simply abominable. Among these latser is a shoc displayed at one of our best houses. It is of fine French kid, 2 high-buttoned boot, the toe, instep. and front heavily em- broidered in white. 'The shape of the shoe ren- ders it too heavy for sinple boudoir use. and it would be inappropriate clse- Where, Ladies of taste and means are wearing at bome a low shoe or slipper of black satip.

Now that Christmas presents will soon cause much and laporious thinking and plannine. it would be well to remember these for the confi- dante and bosom-friend. It has always seemed o ke a species of rank injustice that only the gentlemen 8re the recipient of all the lovely slippers. DRESSMAKERS TELL ME that just now they are “busier about traveling dresses than those of any other sort. Soon the tide of Florida travel will sct in, and at the same “grirls of all ag time many ladies will seck otber Southern re- sorté and mot a few go Washington-wards. Traveliug dresses are so pretty now, st least there 15 such ample opportunity to make them sv, that mach attention is bestowed upon them. They are plain to a degree, but are elezant and stylish, a great deal because of their simoplicity. The first, requirement, of course, is that the cos- tume shoula be of some dark color, that will not too easily show dust, that will not be at all conspicuous, and that will not be ruined by rain. Dark-brown, gray, and a very decp wing-calor are the best, with the preserence in favor of the two first. Then, in selecting a traveling drese, it is a matter of importance to get 2 very soft materisl _that will ot crush or wrinkle. Hence an -+ all- wool fabric is by far the best. The third require- ment is that thie entire suit should be ot one material; by this I mean, should not be a “combination™ suit. Asa rule, when you sce now a silk skirt worn under some Wovien upper aflair, you may consider the wearer a bride or o thrifty Jady, who is utilizing a sKirt that best does duty g0. Very stylish traveling costumes are made of three pieees, a skirt, overdress, and paletot. Sometimes the second of these gar- mentsisa polonaise, or is accompavied by a plain basque, for on a long journcy a lady Ire- quently wishes “to lay aside ber upper heavier garment. Many ladies, however, obviate this Tecessity by carrying a shawl or cloak, Lo b sumed when needed and disearded at pleasure. A very tasty traveling suit, just completed, isol olive-brown canels Liair, very thick, very soft, and witha shaegy, furry surface. The skirtis | trimmed by a single gathiered founce, bordered at_1s foot y o braid three inches wide, and headed by a row ol the same. The overdress presents in froft a deep rounded apron, with a square back slightly but gracefully draped. ‘This overdress is finish- ed at its edge by a row of the broad braid which 15 of the same shade as the cloth, and ol min- gied silk and wool. Above the overskirt is & Tong sacque cut into the tigure. but fitting lousely. It is double-breasted, and has a rolling coat collar. Trwo large, square pockets in front and tio similar ones at the back afford conven- fent depositorics for the thousand little things s0 many ladics deem it necessary to travel with. e these against the. advances of the To se. kets have light-tingered gentry, the four pi deep tabs,whicll button down securel pocket in the cuff of the lit sleeve oilers a con- venient lodgiug to the ticket. This sacque is trimmed with one row of broad braid, and is fustened Dby two llnes of large, round buttons of color and . texture suitéd to the dress. A round felt hat, with unobtrusive brim, is banded by folds of olive- Drown silk, with a bow of the same at the side. A suall uoright wing of olive and scarlet lends a brightening bit of color to the toilette. A FAVORITE HAT for traveling now is & soft cloth or felt hat, just such as the gentiemen oten wear. A band of Tibbon around the crown, and a_binaing of the sume at the edge of the brim often constitutes all the trimming, but the addition of a wing or tip, or else a cluster of loops, is to berecom- mended as imparting a more feminine, heace a more ladylike, aspeet, This hats may be ob- tained iu every desirable color, aud have several great advantages. They are light and _casv to the head; one may fali “asleep in them with im- punity, for, even if literally “knocked into a covked hut,” they may be righted and restored to their original symmetry. Above all, they are becoming to most faces. T A preity, though withal somewhat novel, “costume de voyage” has just been shown me. It is dark gray, of some new material, very soft and woolly, like a sheep. The skirt, made just to escape the ground at all points, lias a double box-pleated flounce. Above this is a finger-wide band of dark silvery-gray fur. A polonnise reachivg to a point in'front falls low atl around, but at the left side is raised in several upturned pleats. A band of fur borders the polonaise, and also forms a line from the throat down the entire front. Over this. when comfort requires, is to be worn a long, hulr-fiiting sacque, loose in frout, but setting firmly to the figure behind. It bas long, pointed pockets, deep cuffs, and a small shoulder eape, all of which, as well as the sacque itself, are bordered by the fur band. A softcrowned Derby hat, of color like the dress, has a baud of fur about the crown, while 8¢ the lett side the mischievous face -of a little aray squirrel shows plainly agalnst a brizht red wing. High boots of the material composing the dress are well foxed with pebbie goat, and have a band of fur sbout the top. The dark aray * gants de Sucde » have also bauds of fur about the wrists. This comfortable suit is to be worn during a trip to California late in_next month, when the *cold, chilly winds of No- vember " will make it quite desirable. A very prety and stylish traveling dress for a - young girl of 16 is of a dark, rich chestnut color, and of soft but heavy cashmere. The underskirt has three narrow side-pleatings at the bottom, head- ed by threc rows of incl-wide braid of the same color exactly. The plajn overdress has the rouuded front buttoned on the back by a row of buttons and simulated buttov-holes. The tiwht-fittine jacket is double-breasted. and, like the overdress, is ornamented by three rows of jnch-wide braid. The little jacKet is fastened with round flat buttons of oid stone, aud is further embellished by two oretty little pockets. Worn with thisis a small round-crowned hat with a drooping brim in front, which is a great. protection to the eyes awainst cinders and dust. Several flat folds of brown silk surround the crown, aud form @ pretty oddiy-shaped bow at the side. Mere a_beautifully-shaded wing of brown and blue lends further attractiveness. As a rule, CHILDREN'S TRAVELING-DRESSES snould have as little ornamentation us possible, ourney is hardly conducive to the good ap- pearance of any one’s dress, much Jess a child” who is generally so restless. Some very pretty and sensible traveling (uisters are shown ior p 10 12 or 13 years. They are of mocral it cloth, in color are usually dark~gray, or brown, and are warny; com- fortable, and _becoming. Mothers will do well 1o consider them when meditating a traveling dress for a restles: dv, who regards comfort as of ¥: more importance than style, and who cannot sit still even at the risk of crumpling her flounces. Marris S. NEW FASHIONS. SHORT STREET DRESSES COMING IN AGAIN, AXD GREEN THE FAVORITE COLOR. New York world. Green is the color most in vogue, varying in shades from dark blue to a peeuliar yellowish tint so much used during the past season; dark brown is also azain coming into favor. The dress known as the princess is no longer the highest fashion. The polonuisc holds its own, worn very long and cut very low in the back. Clasps, such as are worn on cloaks, are much nsed as ornaments in holding the drapery, as also are bows of broad ribbon and of the sumne material as the dress. Skirts of dresses are wide, but the all-important point is that all the fullucss should be carried to the back, ever! thing being plain over the bips. Of course, with_the present style of dress, it is quite im- possible for crinolings to be worn. The petti- coats must be plain in front, the first breadth Dbe trimmed or flounced if desired, but it should be put on without fullness, that being necessa- ry only at the back. Dresses for the street arc quite short, but not sutliciently so to show the feet. The skirts arc round, and trimmed with a broad braid or band of cloth or velvet. Cashmere as dress materfal is much used, and so arc velvet and satin. At Mine. Connelly’s, 7 East Sixteenth strect, is a very pretty visiting and carviage costume, the color being dark plum, the underskirt of silk of the same color, with a deep side-plaiting around the hottom. The overdress is & long polonaise, plain in front, and draped quite Jow in the back. At the sides are fastened broad bands or sashes of velvet. which, when the dress is fastened, are brought over the front of the skirt and careless- Iy tied. ‘The trimming is a broad band or mara- Bout feather (simulating fur) of the same color as the dress. The sleeves are close at the wrists, trimmed with a band of marabout. Brocade satins aud velvets are still muchused, as are damasse goods. A very pretty dress is shown of dark plum-colored veélvet, draped and trimmed with brocaded velvetof the same color. Sleeves arc all close to the arm. For simple morning-dresses, linen coltars and cuffs are worn, the cuffs being, with the ught coat-sleeve, worn outside of the siceve. The duchesse lace is still fashionable, a5 are Irish and Kussian laces. Trimmings of jet and claire de lune, or moou- light jet, are much worn; ornaments of the saine going with the dress. With velvet dresses ehould be worn slipoers made of the.same cotor, in velvet, as the dress, with Louis XV. heels. Of vourse the stockings should be of Lhe same color also. Cloaks are still long, but not so long as those worn'last_year. ienne is still used, trimmed with fur. Velvet cloaks are more fashjonable than they bave been for many {::nrs. A very pretty shape is the coat, or Louis XV., made of cloth, with the vest of silk or velvet, a5 best suits the taste of the wearer. This shape, Mme. Pinchon, in Tenth street, has fn an exceedingly pretty cloth called drab de moutop, which 15 very soft and pliable, being al:o appropriate material for ulsters or traveling cloaks. 4 B A Hackensack man was. last midnight, creep- Ing softly along the bedroom floor on his hands and knees. and was feeling tenderly under the ‘bureau for a something he bad nidden there the eveninz before: but his wife awoke and eaid: what under heavens are you doing#’ #Dear,” said he, “I'm walkinz in my sleep, and dreaming that 1 am plucking water-Jilies from the soft blue bosom of the lake.” How to et that flask out of there before she got up in the morning was what worried him more than the water-lilies did.—XNew York Herald. 7] GOSSIP FOR LADIES.

The family was composed of a gentleman and lady and their dnughter. The latter, when she had reached her sixteenth year (twenty vearsago), felldeeply and passionately in_love with a youne officer , Who requited hér love. But the parents of the . damsel disaporoved of the match, and alarmed | at the prozress of the attachment they used * their influence to the utmost, and contrived to marry their danghter to a Count, 3 wealthy man, clever, well informed, and very anxious for the match, though many years oler than the younz girl. The marriage took place, though : ihe Count was fully aware of a previous attach- i ment. Probubly he thought it merely u voung girPs fancy, and the parents did their best to make him belicve that it was so. Unfortunately, the result proved their mis- take. The young girledrooped and pined— never smiled, and_ could not be persuaded to forget the past. Her husband fell into the mis- take of taking her to his house, near_her home, nearall the ussociations which he should most have dreaded and avoided. fle became more and more devoted taher. She turned from him with ever-increasing dislike. At lenath her state of health alarmed the physician, who or- dered an immediate change of scene. But the ‘mischief was done already. From morning till night the unhappy young creature would sob and moan, 2ud notning could comfort ner. They traveled over France, Germany, and Spain, but the ouly effect of change was to bring on c: treme indifference and listlessness, il creased till, when they came home, the Count found that he had done no good and his wife had become a-harmless iunatic. Even then, perhaps, something might have been tried asa means of recovery, €ome return to happier times, but the Count was wild with remorse and really deep affection, so that he gave up his life m trying to gratify her various fancies and fre- quent caprices.” For twenty years this has gone on. They live in an ideal villaon a bill overiook- ing the Gulf of Spezzia. An old placeit really is, with bandsome, lofty rooms, and outside you could want nothing more lovely than the aroves of olive and the vineyards. The Count spares no money to please the poor woman in his charge, but his care is_poorly requitea, for her madness has taken the form of loathing his | very presence, and no reason can now dissimi- laté the feeling which bas made her a wreck. He takes refuge in his books, lives like a her- mit, spouts Latin_and Greek poetry in bis solitude, is devoted to astronomy, aud has an excellent telescope. But his life scarcely de- serves the name. I dined once with the mis- ‘erable couple. She came in running when he rang the bell, and sat down, without ,noticine any one, at the head of the table. She had & strange way of dipping her Lands in the sou| which was distressing. But her husband will | mot live apart from her, even watching her at ! night and sleeping in ber room. But it was ter- rible to note the shrinking whenever he ap- | proached her—like a nameless horror coming over her, and at the same time the cunning of maduess makes her dissemble, so that she will look at you, mocking him behind his back. He seems to have accevted this torture as a species of expiation for having forced her inclination long ago, but does not scem to realize the [ol!g | of persisting in a system of treatment whicl does not_amcliorate” ber condition in the least.

Groveport is a beautitul little village situated about ten miles out on the Columbus & Hock- | ing Valley Railrond.

It was at last decided upon to surround the house, which was done. Then one of their number went to the door and demanded that the fellow be furned over to them.

Of course, the * Histoire d’un Crime” will be translated and published in ‘book form, but pending its appearance in that zuise I will venture to give a few extracts from its pages.

Paris Correspondence New York Trivune. One morning in May ftast an aide-de-camp presented himself -at M. Victor Hugo’s door, bearing n message from the Emperor of Brazil. The Emperor wished M. Victor Hugo to know that it would give him much pleasureif M. Victor Huzo would callon him. Au imperial invitation m Europe passes for a command, and etiquette would hardly permit an Emperor to £ro further than this in_cxpressing his desire for an aequaintance of aman below his own rask. M. Victor Hugo, however, replied that he re- gretted extremely to be obliged to decline the Ewmperor’s request, but that it was a rule with him pever to make a callon auy one. With this' auswer the aidede-camp departed, no doubt fn a_ state of - considerable aston- ishment. He reappeared uext morning, desiring to know_ywliether, if the Emperor should call on M. Victor Hugo, his visit would be returned. To this M. Victor Hugo replied that he regretted still more to have to say that it would be 1mpossible; that he was coustantly in the habit of receiving visits which he never repaid, and that if he once departed from this rule it might give just offense to mauy persons who would think themselves entitled to the game courtesy. On the third day came the aide- de-camp with a third inquiry: Whether M. Victor Hugo would have any objection to ar- rauge for a meeting between the Emperor and himeelf_at some place and time convenicnt for both. To this suggestivn M. Huzo acreed, ana i was settled that the interview should take place at Versailles, n the Chamber.of the Eenatc, of which M. Hugo is a member. But it Tappened that _this conversation occurred just before the 16th of May, and the dispersion of the Legislatare broke up the rendezvous. But the Emperor, as you know, is not easily baflled when once be has mnade up bis mind to a thinz. Not many days later, a note was brought " Victor Hugo, thus conceived: * Quelqu’ 1 viendra_ vous roir demain -matin @ news heures.)’* 1suppose the “ some one’” saved the etiquette. Punctually at 0 the fotlowing morn- fue appeared the Emperor of Brazil. His visit lasted till 1, and froin the first the-two were on the best of terms. The civilitics tnat passed be- tween them may be casily imagined. They talked on many subjects, among others, natur- ally, on M. Victor Hugo's poetry. On the Em- peror's expressing his admiration for some of the poet’s early writings, M. Hugo asked him whether he had read ‘his last book. “L’Art d'etre Grand Pere.” “Tenez, vous allez voir,” exclaimed his Imperial Majesty, and forthwith recited the lines beginning: Jeanne parle; elle dit des chqses qu’ elle ignore. —a compliment to which, albeit coming from an - ‘Emperor, the Republican was not insensible. The Emperor then asked if he might sce the famous Jeanne, and the little girl~-now, I be- Hove, 7 years old—was sent for. and_presently came into the room, and ran to her grandfather for a kiss. Might he have u kiss, too! entrested the Emperor, upon which the child in French fashion offered her cheek- No! said his Majes- 1y, you must kiss me as you kissed your grand- fatiter, and, holding his” arms wide open, the child sprung into them, and put her arms about his neck, and kissed him affectionately on the mouth, the Emperor holding her some tiine, and returning kiss for kiss. M. Victor Huzo {nquired . whetner, as his Majesty had shown some interest in the book and . its heroine, he might offer Wim a copy. it wasreadily accepted, and mpon M. Victor Huro returning with the book, which he had gone into another room to seek, and taking up a pen, the Emperor said, »You will permit me to dictate the inscription,” and under hls dictation_the poet wrote om the fly-leaf: YV ictor Hugo s Dom Pedro de Alcantara"— which, 1 presume, was the Emperor's way of relieving bis bost from all recoznition of his rank, and expressing his own desire to receive the bookas tge gift of a personal friend and an equal. 1 fear, indeed, that the grace and good il of the interview on both sides quite vanish Nodler my pen, but set you would have mnder- £tood and felt it all'if you could have heard it fronhthe lips of M.

They parted with many assurances of mutnal re<) and liking, but M. Victor Huzo added, as they stood at the door together, *I should be sorry, indeed, if there were many Emperors like you.” % But why!” * Because 1 shoald find it 5o difficult to speak illof them.” ‘And with this the illustrions_Republican dis- missed his fore the latter bad asked leave to repcat you to-morrow at. 0 * Some one will come 1o & o'cloc!

Some days later, as ¢ Victor Hugo had just sat down to dinuer with & few friends,—lc éeldom dines alone,—the bell rang, the door opened, and the Emperor ap- 1, cryiog ount, ‘Is there room for me? hall I disturb noboay?” ‘There was room; he sat down, dined, talked, as his way is, to cves body, on all manner of _topics, and departed, caving behind hmn nothing but pleasant im- pressions of his good sensc and good feeling. A TURKISII DINNER. London_Society. There is no table-cloth, buteverything isneat- Iy arranged upon the polished metal. Before cach guest Is a piece of ordinary bread—a fiap of unleavened dough slightly baked and looking like mottled leather—and two spooos, ane of them in box or horn, and the other, more deli- cate, in tortoise-siiell, the handle ornamented withcoral and inlaid mother-of-pcarl. Sometimes these spoons have s little crooked branch of coral at the tip to avert the evil eye. Each per- son is provided with & small ring-shaped cake called * semitt,”” some pieces of which are al- ways taken before the Ramazan dinuer, as well as & smal] quantity of coudiments, such as caviar, olives, ealted and dried mutton, cheese, or pickle. At the table which Tam describing these ‘¢ hors d’cuvre ” were spread about in abundance, surrounding a handsomessilver stand, hoiding covered cups filled with excellent lem- onade, of which each muest partook; and then, the stand beiog removed, a stout nesress de- posited in its place with au air of triumoh a large tureen filled with a delicate white soup. The spoons are raised in expectation; it is Besme Hanum who resolutely tucks up her right sleeve above theelbow, and, as mistress of the ceremonies, 1s the first to dipinto the tureen, murmuring the customary invitation * Bouyou- roun,” at which all the spoons joln company; and sfter a few minutes of silence well em- }:ln_ycd the soup is Lorne away. to make room or a tarkey stuffed with rice, currants, fir-nuts, and spices.

Vegetables form an important .part of the Turkish culinary system; you may frequently count a dozen varieties at the same time, besides many herbs and plants of which we have no knowledge on our Westera tables. They use, according to the seasom, marsh-mallow leaves, cucumbers, vine lcaves, cabbage, or even the half-open bud of the gourd or melon, o form the **dolmas® stuffed with rice and cbopped meat, which never fail to make their appearance at every repast.

The “aschourah,” a sweet, porridge which makes its appearance uvon most festive oc- casions, deserves a few words of explanation, as this preparation has a legendury origin. As- chourah is composed of Indian wheat, bar- ley, wheat, dried raisins, nuts, almonds, wai- nuts, pistachio-uuts, and even dry Windsor and haricot beans, boiled and sweetened; the ereater the varicty and incongruity of the ingredients the better the *aschourah,” for it is a remem- brance, says the lezend, of Noah's residence in the ark, “into which the water must have pene- trated at length, and produced an unexpected soup among the remuants of his dry stores.” ¢ Aschourah™ is made in great quantities in all respectadle houses during the first ten days of the month of Mouharem (the first month of the year), to be seat about to friends, and to be lib- crally distributed to the poor.

Purls Letter. TWhile speaking of Madame Thiers, I may say that she is o stout matron, who shows few signs of age, Tat, rather joliy-looking, motherly in the extreme, and still a fine-looking womau. That she has a will of her own is evident at a glance. When young, she was quite p belle, and when studying ber face yesterday I could easily fancy what she must Lave been during the reizn of the Citizen King. She was a young and very rich widow when she married M. Thiers, and the fortune has o prospered since that it amounts to between 80,000,000 and 40,000,000 frzncs, ac- cording to popular report, though real estate Is alwavs valued at more than it will really being. A very large price is generally set upon such property as the Hotel Splendide. Place de 'Opera, but if it had to be sold it might bring only balf the estimated value. But the Thiers family have been both economical and fortupate. | mayadd that they have al- ways been cxtremely close, to use & common expression, giviuz little in_charity, ana spend- ine little cxeept_where there -was a definite ob- joct tobe malned. - Yet when M. Thiers was a Minister of State, and had money placed at his Qisposal as frais de representation, he gave marnificent entertuinments. In her ‘Parisian Letters,” Madame de Girardin (the Viscomte de Launay) has a great deal to say about them, and she not -only praises Madame Thiers for her grace, beauty, and varied charins, but for the richness of bher costumes. She made a grand impression upon account of the profusion of lace, which made the little woman look as if eoveloped in a cloud. The Princes of the House of Orleans were always preseut, and dancing of the gayest sort went on until morning. Atone of these fotes a young man, who had been danc- ine all the evening, rushed out of the saloon, Seized bis hat, and started down the steps in reat haste. He ran against a servant who was brineing in a quantity of ices from the Cafe Foy. Servant, waiter, mdsses, and fces all fell to the bottom together, and the young man turned round in f:lstonlshmfint to stare at the ruin he had caused. “fhere's at least fifty francs’ worth gone,” zald the waiter, with a melancholy gaze. “ At least," sald the dancer. 47¢% hard on a poor fedow like me,” con- tinued the servant; * for 1 can never make any one belleye that the accident was not dug to my own carelessness. They will accuse me.” ] would pay you cheerfally if 1 had any money.” “What! A gentleman like you with no money#” ] nave some at home,” said the young mag, and he insisted upon this as he saw the look of incredulity upon the face of the wWalter. “You will sce if I have not. Just wait until to- morrow."” T'ie waiter was not at all sure of seelng the ¥oung man again, but he conld not help bim- self. The next morning a lackey inlivery called at the Cafe Foy and asked for the iwaiter who had bad the accident at the reception of Mme. Thiers. When he came forward, the valet de piea said: “* My master, the Duc d’Orleans, is very sorry for the trouble he gave you, and he begs you to accept this bank note for francs.”? 2 all her guests on A VIOLET'S FAITH.
