Meand his show-women are most obliging, and, being old customers, they allow us to examine everyibing. Our attention is first attracted by the remarkablo toilettes these youn ladies wear. One, of bright red satin, is trimmed with red and gold damask, which is more like curtain than dress material; another of bluc brocade, dashed with silver braid, looks ready for the stage; and, in fact, tho whole effect is alarming. I express my astonishment to Aliss .\Ilrg, and ask if these are not evening dresses. “Oh, no,” she replies, “they are ‘howe aud yisiting styles. Asmy meons allow me to indulge in handsome things, I wear what is most the fashion.” Happily wo are to find coucolation in the next room, where a dozen dresses, made to order, are rceciving fnishing touches.

This is framed, as it were, in bayadere plisses, aud tulle, grace- fully draped, is” caught up on one side with flowers of- varied hues. - Low waists are made with points behind and before—cuirasse and princesse forms. Points are the Iatest fashion, but not as yet thorougbly adopted. Evening dress-skirts are wade rather short in front, showing satin-slippered feet, and, unless for dancing, very loug behind. Visiting costumes are dewi-long, and walking ones very short.

Before leaving Worth’s we must go back to the show-women and give the following plaust- ble explanation of their remarkable dress shich at the sume time accounts for the unive: sal reputation of that house to overcharge trim- ming, and sead abroad gaudv dresses, the fash- fou of which never seem to be adapted by other Paris_dressmakers. In the first place, Mr. ‘Worth is aman of taste and courage; in the eecond. he is a great finavcier. He likes to iu- dulge his first talent, but not altogetber to the detriment of the second. So his home styles are_usually £ood, and keep up bis reputation, whilst now and azain be makes a littlo coup de bourse, as it were, and dressing his girls up in superd stuffs—out or_going out of fashion—he atiracts the attentioh of novices just arrived from Enzland, R-ssia, America; or the Sandwich Islands, and, making them believe that this is the only or people of fortunc and taste to dress, he rids bimself of §5,000 or §10,000 worth of material which would otherwise remain a dead weight on his hands. Practical, if not alto- getber admirable. SOCIETY TOPICS. And now the goose fatteneth for Christmas. Clara Louise Kellogir is “wedded” to high- heeled boots, and yet Clara is said to be unmar- ried.
