[From our Fashion Correspondent.) Naw Yors, July, 1569.—This has not, so far: been a very rapturous season for the proprie- tors of summer hotels and the caterers to the gay watering places. The weather has been cool ard damp, and city people have been glad to stay in their comfortable Rouses. August may improve the prospect if it should come out very warm, but I am inclined to think that there is not quite so much money to be spent, as formerly, on the superfiuities, and that the expensive watering places will have to suffer. ‘THE DRESSMAKERS’ HARVEST. The past few years bas been a harvest for feshiopable dressmakers, of which they have made the mest in putting up prohibitory rates. The moders “suits” very ‘ted affair, and it is not uncommon for the making to cost twice and three times as much asthe material. A simple street costume, whicb has cost fiftees dollars or less, will come up to fifty or ry Bas lef: the dressmakere bands. required margin f large city dressmaking establishment are few lies who can aflord to draw on their Tesources to that extent for any considerable lepgth of time, so the number of such estabii-h- ments must always remain limited. For we past two or three years the changes in costumes have been so great, and so rapid, that yery many have employed first-rate dressmakers 10 order to obtain models from which they could fasbion their own wardrobes, or get theirseam- stress, or less expensive articles, to do so for then. The style of goring, of making two skirts, of changing sashes into bows, aud Adding bows to ;aniers 1s now preity well un- der-tood, and the fashionable dressmaker finds her occupation not exactly gone, but less eagerly sought and paid for. FREEDOM AND SINPLICITY. “Jenkins,” to the contrary notwithstanding, Jassert there never was a time when it was Possible to dress fashionably with so much freedom and simplicity as at present. Sensa- tion paragraphis's talk of false figures and false faces,ct a thoasand dollars spent in enamelling, a8 if every woman practised these arts, and was but a painted aud bedizined copy of ber real self. It is like generalizing over the cholera until everybody is supposed to bave it, when the real truth is that only one case was reported, and that doubifal whether it was real cholera or not. So long as women can wear plain linen suite, and be ready for the streets as quickly as aman can put on his bat and coat, there cannot be much fault on the score of simplicity. The fault is in charg- img upon all women the faults of a tew, and in taking it for granted that an extravagance committed by one person who can afiord it is Tepeated by a thousand who cannot afford it. FASHIONS AS THEY Ane. The truth is, written fashions tell not so much whst is worn as what is not. Itis ar axiom m fashions that,as soon as 1 style is opularly worn, it ceases to bs fashionable. ‘he aim, therefore, of the fashion writer is not so much to tell what is, as that is not, gener- ally worn, In this way readers of fashion Magazines and periodicals are kept in a paroxysm of tear and anxiety. The style of to-day is discarded on paper to-morrow, al most, perhaps, before it has been worn, and the admiring copyist sees something else de- scribed in glowing terms, aud imagines ber pretty dress cloak or bonnet pas:ce and out ot date already Practical women, even those who like to dress fashionably and who can afford to do so, are ured of being swayed by such paltry notions. They do net see why a garment that commences with being pretty, tasteful, and convenient, should noc remain so as tong As 1. is desirable to wear it They discover ia them- selves an individuality which can be as well expressed by dressing As they please as in any other way. The folly of discarding handsome «iresses that have been once or twice worn, unless they have been ruined by an accident, 1s now very nearly obsolete. In England, the (jueen sets tae exc-l- lent example of wearing her dresses until they Are at least partly worn ont; the Princess of Wales has been heard to remark that <he rarely buys a material that will not cut over for the children: and even Empress Eugeni,in ex- travagant Paris, appears im the same costume at different court balls. To cite example here, two of the most admired suite at @ recent reception were “made over” from dresses of ceremony three years old, and in the work Toem of a fashionable dressmaker 1 saw the other day four or five dresses that were being remodeled, and to show their antiquity 1 will mention that the modern panier of one was made out of the old fashioned flowing sleeves, and tke new coat sleeves cat from the gores taken out of the skirt. ONLY SOMETHING To WRAR. With freedom to wear what we have got we shall get rid of the necessity of obtaining what we don’t want, thus saving the accumulations of clothing, that are the bane of many women’s lives. A secret inspection of any modern house would leveal six or eight closets, and perhaps as many bureaus and wardrobes, nearly all filled with clothing of the female part of the family. If the nominal master of the bouse has a single drawer or shelf, or corner of a closet reserved to bis own private use, be thinks himself very well off, and does not yenture a complaint. ‘wonders, to be sure, wha’ the mysiery is about women’s clothing that they require so much room, but a remark to that effect would bring down upon bin such an avalanche of reasous, and denial, and explanation, that after be bas tried it once he is too happy to be al- lowed to keep quiet for the remainder of bis life. FASHIONS FOR COUNTRY WRAR. All the new dresses in preparation are for the seaside or for country wear, end are of Pique or musiin for morning, of linen for trav- eling wear, or of Chamberry gauze or silk tor evening entertainments. It 1s quite the fash- jon now to wear white suits in traveling, and if their tresboess can be renewed before they ‘ome too much soiled, they look very pretty ¢ not out Of place in brigh: -ummer weather, The yprettiest of these traveling dresses are made of striped white pique, trimmed with English embroidered bands put on as ruities, and beaded with a band of insertion to match. Additions! ornaments sre not unfrequently and very stylishly supplied by square bows, And clustered loops of blac’. velvet ribbon, which are surmounted on s:iff net, and can therefore be taken off and pat on at pleasure.
