Journal of Commerce } Parts, Sept. 24.—The modes for the coming winter are assuming. in style, a. resemblance to those of the eighteenth ecentury. For the last few years lightly-powdered hair has been adopted by the fades of the court haut-ton; the coming season it will be more generally worn. The wearing of the hair powder has been stigmatized as an uncleanly fashion by many writers of the present day; but we can- not believe that women of rank, taste, and ed- ucation would have ever consented to wear any thing either repulsive or unbecoming for go longs periou. It is certainly not unbecoming; for white. as it isa mixture of all colors, har-. monizes with all, and. therefore, a white head siress will suit any costume. whether dark or light. Any one who has had the pleasure of seeing the distinguished actress of the present, Madame Piessy. in the costume of the last cen- pi cannot fail to have observed the grace and besuty of the powdered head-dress. of the ample skirts, laced sleeves, and rick stiff silks of the eighteenth century. The origin of the fashion of hair-powder, which was introduced in the reign of William and Mary, and con- tinued in use till the death of George the Third has been accounted fur in various ways: that it was used to give the appearance of age, to coneenl gray hairs, that a jester brought it from France. dc. A iate writer asserts that it was owing to the passion for things elassical Preralent in that age. Whilo the poets sang er translated the praises of classical heroes and heroines. tho cavaliers and d. nes powdered their locks in imitation of the white marble busts and statuettes they brought from Rome, Florence. or Paris! All chaussure is now high-heeled; and it ertainly adds stature. The full skirt forms as it were a lasement to the pyramid of dra- pery; the low waist shows the bust to advan- tage ; the hair raised from the face, and rereal- ing tis fair proportions. does not disturh the harmony of color by an abrupt transition from white to black. * It is in the style of arranging the black hair thatthe fashion of the present day differs from that of the last century. Then the hair was collected in bows or knots on the top of the head. and the pyramid of artificial elegance was often terminated by an ostrich feather; now the front locks are raised. as they were then. to some little height over the fore- head, but the back tresses form a coiffure very low. almost lying on the neck. The beautiful autumn robes are all trimmed @ quilles ; that is. with patterns in velvet or satin down the sides of the skirt. The corgages of walking dress are all made high. The shapes of sleeves are in a great variety. That called the Venitienne is cut open, and hangs long at the back of the arm. Another is composed of a large puff. torming a short sleeve. from which hangs a deep frill caught up at the front of the elbow. A very handsome one is entirely formed of graduated puffs from the shoulder to the wrist. where it is finished by a band. A more dressy sleeve is large and open, being cut up the whole length in front of the arm. Kt is made double d trimmed all round with a ruche. Under this sleeve are worn large puffs of tulle, trimmed with riband bows. Qthers are plain at top, fastened by a wristband, and trimmed in the same way. Tho fichu is grow- mee favor daily. At one time we see the fichu Marie Antoinette, or black lace or richly embroidered muslin. trimmed with lace and riband to match the color or trimmings of the dress; or the ficha paysanne of guipure or em- broidered organdi, in large flat plaits. drawn down on the shoulders and the middle of the back, to forma lowhbody. This fichn is crossed in front, and is fastened with a large gold or silver pin; the ends fall on each side over the band. The autumn bonnets are generally a mixture of crape, lace. and velvet. of alight color, such as green d Isley, blue de Chene, rose de Chene. &c. Others have velvet crowns, with open- worked fronts. and are decorated with fringe. There is a variety of new shades of velvet for Winter bonuets. A lighter and brigther red has aken the piace of grenat; the dark blues and greens ure all of a lighter shade; the quantity of black lace with which bonnets are tsimmed would give too sombre a look to the coiffure if the velvet wag of a very dark color. Feathers rich velvet flowers will be the favor ie dec- orations. For evening ful! dress, the novelty, as a coiffute. is a kind of chaperon. formed of small claret colored daisies, from which two barbes of black Isee fall down behind The last new pocket handkerchief is a small square of catubrie. bordered with a suevession of flare insertions and hems. each edged by nar- | row lace; the lace which finishes the handker- chief must be wide. several inches deep. The round handkerchief, richly embroidered, is also in vogue The gorgeousness of all artictes of jewelry in- y. The necklace—an ornament which will be much wern thia winter—brace- lets, Sevignes. agraffes, wreaths, and bouquets | for the ooiffure, &c., are splendid specimens of richness, combined with good taste. Many GAMe-or Cress. —A very extraordinary feat was performed on Sat- urday night, in fth street. New York. by a German, last from Iowa. He has come to con- test the bighesi prize in the Grand Tournament. He played three games with three opponents at the same time. One of these opponents was a first-class player; other was nearly so; the third was a good player, but not considered of the first cla: In two hours and a half pe had beaten the best and poorest players, and in an- other hour. it getting late. he gave up the game without bringing it toaclose.
