SOCIAL LEADERSHIP. We are sadly in want of social leadership; of ap te st society,” which would be recognized, its existence respected, its claims acknowiedged. Where it is to come from is not so clear. Per- haps Miss Emily Faithful, the editor of the London Victoria Magazine, who is to arrive in New York in Uctober, will be able to tell us, as she has a lecture, which is very ay spoken of, upon the subject. The text, however, is Ruskins’ “ Bookshelf,” so we may be quite cer- tain in advance who her ‘best society”’ will con- sist of—Dickens, Carlyle, Ruskin, Proctor, Browning, Lowell, George Eliot, Huxiey, Her- bert Spencer, and others, to whom it will be very pleasant to be introduced, but who will hardly answer for our social figureheads. Oid habitues say the opera audiences of to-day are not at all like those of fitteen or twenty years ago, principally on account of the degen- eracyolmen. While a gent eman could only wear black and white, all men at least looked like gentlemen, but now they have taken to stripes and checks and mixed colors, all gentle- men look like hotel clerks, runners, and ticket- takers, and with their siyle assume something of their conceit, insolence, and freedomot mane ner. lustead of the courteous and deferential, yet dignitied and perfectly dressed gentlemen of the old school, the academy is filled with loungers, who hardly care to exhibit a clean collar, who rush out between every act “to take a drink,’ and squirt tobacco juice all over the lobbies. This is the modern idea of “ freedom,” and one of the results of the great “ leveling” process, which would turn the court ef heaven into a barroom. This is why, to come back to the subject, wa want social leadership. We want a social or- der, if you please, that understands its duties— that would stimulate the practice of the vir- tues and of politeness by example; whose posi tion would be so well understood that it would carry authority with it, and whose fanctions would be recognized, because its obligations would be measurably fulfilled. At present our hig! es exist withont se of their res; . They ran to g and horse-racing, and hold or thro: away money without any apparent consciow ness that it isa power for good, for which they are accountable » The press is acquiring a cont n polities; perhaps tt is dest ial leader also, butif it aspi tion it must get rid of the fipp : which now disgraces portions of it—which isthe in-trade of beth political ties, and nmakesa presidential campaign more like a qaar- rel between Sarah Gamp and Betsy Harris than a contest between two great parties, based on principles, worthy such championship. FALL FASHIONS. It is as easy to prevlicate fashion as anything else, when you know the source from which it comes. A stream cannot rise higher than its fountain. So there is not mach to_be expected ot fashion proper, it is like love, the old, old, story, never new, but always interesting, or stil! more hke the showman’s dog, the same ol dog, but with some new tricks. ; Dry goods houses are beginning to display a little perplexi- page of olsequent discredit thrown upou a peculiar class of mat- ter their fall importations, but no has been cansed © “Dolly Vard thet many chintz pattern reproduced in detain tor fall wear, but Doily t some of (he orders were counterraanded many of them were beyond recail, and ¢ Varden collapsed, and fore the market is likely to be ste with broad striped and figured fabr' which will be ditt it to get rid of. signs in fashio point at which th 5 exaggeration, which becomes intolerable, and then stop, Dolly Varden was cut off in an antimely sort of from the a way, before the chintz short gown had achieved any great advance on its original ugli- nese. The materials to be recommaniled for the coming season are soft, twille 1, al! wool fabrics self colored, in preference to ‘cotton and wool, or silk and wool mixtures, and especially in preference to high striped and figured materials of all kinds. Soft figured cashmeres and de Jaines, with black or wood colored grounds, are very good wear for house dresses, but it isan unpleasant mistake to buy such a style for a po- Jonaise to wear in the street, as the moment it is put on it is felt to be out of place, and all women haye not the meaus to remedy blanders when they have once made them. Poplins and corded materiais are subordinated to twills and smooth all wool delaines, which have been doubled in width in all the’ higher grades, and greatly improved in quality. ‘The rage for rough undressed goods has led to the sending out from the French looms undressed woolens, whose raw, unfinished sartace, is con- sidered distinguished,” aud which have a use in showing women how easy it isin fashion to make a thing common, or uncommon, All the patierns in linen jace and linen fringe are re- produced in woolen lace and woolen fringes trimming woolen dresses, but velvet will alsy L very much employed with the landal of assisting the poor operatives of St. E who sufiered so much daring the Franco- sian war. ‘There is nothing new in some slight advance in richly embroidered in black will figare largely among dresses of ceremony during the coming season, anda new shade of stone color, which carries light wonderfully well, will be associ- ated with delicate blae for dinner dresses, For the rest,last year’s tints and colors are still in vogue, bottle green, plum color, absinthe, peacock color and the light indefinite shades tor evening wear. The “blue greens” and ey greens" have been so run inte the ground, an ave now become so common that it is safe to predict much less demand for them than last season among ladies who lead rather than fol- low fashion. THE LATEST DESIGNS POR PALL WEAR. The recent novelties in fasuion consist princi- pally of see-saw changes in the overskirt and polonaise. It may be of the highest importance that we shouid make overskirts one month short, the next month long, and the following month terraced up at the back in a wa or mn appendage should be now short and round, then drawn tight!y—and, if it were not faahic’ tkit, or ett out ditogether’ but there shod # -» OF left out ; but at least be @ sufficient interval between to give a rest after the making of a dress before it needs altering. Itis discouraging to women who can only afford a dozen—more or less—dreases of a season, to find that their efforts are, atter all, of ‘no avail; that they cannot keep up with the fashion; ‘that. before they 2 fairly the is -—as all dress- made, if makers Dress for |. cepted pertorce. -Male dressmakers recommend the baving of balf d>z+n in white and color, to wear with diferent dresses, and make the very much like the vests of gentlemen, with or w ut sleeves, with or without poci ets, and with a line of embroidery near the edge.

Fine hatistz neckties a: in high vogue, edged with Vattenciennes lace, and are exceedingly becoming to brunettes. ‘The Russian blouse has given a new lease ot life to the Russian leather belt, with its chate- laine attachm vhich hang conspicuously at the side. Shirt waists reappear in cashmere and twilled flannel. aud are very convenient! worn Ms eicM eng two skirts by young girls; but the Jackets of ye c 1 m- broidered, of velvet, or cashmere em are newer, and can be worn on more sey occasions. Very usetul mourning dresses are made of biack and white al! woot check, trimmed with black velvet, but plaids are almost ignored. Black velvet braces have been revived, and are worn with hanging loops and ends. SCHOOL AND COLLEGE DRESS FOR GIRLS. There is no one peint of more importance to ‘irls in the acquisition of a higher education fran dress. Principals of advanced schools, particularly those which confer degrees and re- quire a severe coarse of study, appeal stren- uously against diverting the attention and risk- ing the health of students with the ant caprices of fashion, and demand a simple, con- venient dress, as nearly uniform as ble, which shall be adhered to throughout the scho! period. A failure on their part consists in not supplying a few general rules for such a dress, as these would have the etfect of authority on the minds of parents, and be likely to be strictly followed. [tis not only convenience, simplicity &nd & certain degree of uniformity that are re- quired, but warmth, which must not be sub jected to capricious Variations. In the absence of definite rules, the following ‘‘school costume’ is proposed, subject to modifications of color and material.
