A called meeting of the business men of this Distriet was held last night at the rooms of the National Fair Association to take steps to ar- Tange for an appropriate reception and enter- tainment of the visitors to the Yorktown cen- tennial who have occasion to pass through this city. Mr. Wm. E. Clark, president of the National Fair Association, cailed the meeting to order, and stated that several weeks ago, at an in- | formal meeting of citizens, the project of mak- ing proper arrangements to entertain such dis- tinguished visitors as might pass through and temporarily stop in this city had been discussed with favor. Baltimore had nobly seconded the Alpena. 63 | project, and there seemed to bean uprising of the people throughout the whole country favor- able to this plan. He hoped to seea willing spirit manifested by all to make a creditable showing in this undertaking. He nominated Col. McKibben for chairman of the meeting. Col. McKibben came forward, and by this time there was present a fair namber of business men, among them Col. Blackburn, Wm. Dickson. Mr. Woodbury, J. I ur, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Rock, Mr. Moxley, W. J. Stephenson, Frank Hume, J. J. Burrows and Dr. Duhamel. THE EXPECTED VISITORS FROM FRANCE. Col.

In the afternoon “‘Faiti its nature and effects,” was the subject of the ; Sermon by Rev. Mr. Laselle, and a short prayer- meeting followed. The young people's meetings, led by Rev.

At the close of it several penitents presented themselves for rayer, and three were converted, the meeting ing continued until near 11 o'clock. COURTING ON THE EAILROAD TRACK. Thismorning (the last day of the camp) dawned beantifully, but with a temperature somewhat lower than could be wished. The railroad track continues to be the promenade greund for court- ing couples, and Severn Arch will hereafter be remembered by many as the scene of enjoyable love feasts, at each of which two persons only were in attendance. Sometimes great risk is run, for not unfrequently the trains the coup! expect to stop at the platform dash past with lightning-like specd, giving but a moment to the lovers to clear the track. Yesterday after- noon one couple were sitting on the end of the tie, and had an exciting experience from this cause. 5 A MINISTER'S JOKE.

Dickson said he would be glad to know what steps had been taken at the former meeting, and what had been discussed. He ‘d upon Col. Blackburn for information. Col. Blackburn said that they were all aw: that the 19th of October would be one hundred years since Cornwallis surrendered to George ington at Yorktown. The celetiration of event in our country’s history, which event was virtually the closing scene of therevolution, | had long been contemplated.

A CARNIVAL PROPOSE Mr. Dickson said we might do a great deal in the way of preparations, even before this com- mittee met. He ed that something of the carnival order, with street decorations, mili- tary display, electric and calcium lights on Pennsylvania avenue, or it might be transferred to the National Fair grounds. He thought preparations should be inade for two evening's rtainment. He had understood that the railroads throughout the country had promised to make liberal reductions of fares in order to induce a general outpouring of citizens of the United States to attend this celebration. The round trip tickets would be for not less than twenty days. Mr. W. M. Morrison thought the quickest and best way to get to work in earnest was to choose A COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED citizens, with the District Commissioners at the ad, to raise funds and make preparations. He xested a carnival on the Avenue, and that it be thoroughly cleaned, and during the two days lusively for that purpose, and that all vehicles, including the street cars, be excluded from it. All the property holders and citizens living on the line would out vie with each other in illuminating their houses if requested to do so. Electric and other lights could also be freely used and decorations spread out without A system, however, should be adopted so as to have the proper effect. After some dis- cussion by Messrs.

The sermon of Bishop Wayman was listened to with great interest by a large congre- gation of both white and colored people. His theme was, “ Depart fre evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” After the sermon the bishop, by request, led the singing in one of his favorite “‘old camp-meeting” songs. Irving Park. The union camp meeting of colored Metho- dists at Irving Park, Annapolt Junction, B. & O. railroad, was largely atte led yesterday. Sermons were delivered by Revs. Robert Steele, N. M. Carroll and J.

There are only three great centers of Fashion, London, Paris, and New York—or you may re- verse the order and not be tar out of the way. Remove from these and Fashion seems to have | been left far behind. and to belong to a world | with which the majority of human beings have | nothing to do. In London the esthetic craze makes a new point of departure, and lifts dress out of the region of the conventional | and the commonplace.

Elsewhere—on.the continent, that is to say—the fashions (when there are any fashions) are those of Paris and New York. Everywhere | |are the course straws, scoop shaped bonnets, | trimmed with the twisted scarf andthe bunch of | roses; everywhere are the trimmed skirts with | draped polonaises; the little capes and the huge | collars; the beaded: trimmings and the cotton | embroidery; the Japanese figure upon red ground, and the Spanish lace fichus with bunches | of flowers upon the left of the corsage. Even the old town of Bonn reproduces in its every shop window the lace pleated tie and knots, | the costumes and mantles, the ribbons and bon- nets that are to be seen in the business thorough- fares of the city of New York. But fashion seems here of much less import- ance than in the city of London or New York. | There are things that take the lead of it even among the women of the higher classes, while for the lower it does not exist at all. Children are of enormous importance in Belgium and Germany, and their care occupies not only the mother, but the entire family, especially the fe- | male part of it. Moreover, the Belgian and German hausfrau is pre-eminently the house- Wife, and though she is not averse to fine clothes gives no time to them which ought by right | to be devoted to husband and children. jrule, she is not a tasteful dresser. {has not the subtie instinct of the Parisian, or | the quick imitative faculty of the American, and | | her thrift prevents her from cultivating pretty | | house ways and daintinesses in her own proper | person.

TOURISTS’ TOILETS. Perhaps the most singular extravagances and eccentricities of costume are to be seen in cross ing the Bri channel, and in the constant con- tact with the female tourist as she plunges in and out of churches and cathedrals. or occupies cheap end of the boat—which is the best | point for seeing—after having paid for the | est, as it ploughs its way leisurely up*the Rhine. | 1s “female” deliberately, though | do not like the word, because women under these circuin- | stances seem to have changed their natures and | lost some of their first elements. They put on | hybrid garments, assume a sort of roystering air | (which is the poorest sort of imitation of mascu- line effrontery), and with the inevitable woolen | Shawl, which is always carried over one shoulder | or in a strap, and never put on, is as recogniza- ble as a bundle of Cook's tickets. The elegant tourist is severely plain. Her complete costume of navy blue cloth or flannel velvet and trimmed with a broad twisted scarf | of mull, in which a group of blush roses is fas- | tened, and is further finished by the addition of | long undressed kid gloves. Her ulster is tailor- | made, and a long gray gauze veil appears if de- manded by an emergency. The tailor made costumes of cloth, of light | texture, but firm and durable, made by several | noted firms in London, are’ famous the world over and are worn by ladies of the highest repu- | | tation fortasteand cultivation. Theskirts, except |for habits, are always of walking length and | more or less kilted or very simply draped, the | upper part forming a princess polonaise or coat | basque with or without a cape. The hat isa felt | —soft or ala Derby. Wherever these dresses are | | seen they are a badge of that distinction which | marks the lady of experience andcultivated per- | |ceptions. ‘They are the least showy of toilets, as | bi | little so as those ofmen, but they ‘are of excel- | | lent material, good fit and cut. and neat strong finish, their beauty being in their perfect fitness | front and reappeared only and adaptability to their function. But though of Biiglish design and a spec | English product persons of Eng " | yet they are less seen upon the | lady tourists than those who | come from America. rican women have a wonderful intuition for a cood thing and four | | out of five of the well-off cl: go straight to Cobb’s, or some other ladies’ tailors. on arrival | in London and get fitted out with a cloth, tailor | | made traveling suit, a hat and ulster; and fi | the blessing of dress that is not dropping apart at every step or left in pieces at every stopping | place The “lawn tennis” costumes are utilized very | much young Eaglish girls for traveling, and they are very good if the journeys are not too | long: but though they are often seen on the | | chanael passage, they seem hardly appropriate | on the scor ‘armth, as the lawn tennis dress | | is more fanciful than protective. Such as it is, | j and as it is seen in all the shops of London. it | consists of an oid-fashioned “‘pinafore” over- dress, low-necked, and sleeveiess, except for | rufles around the arm holes. It may be of print, checked gingham or foulard, and has one | large pocket upon the front (for holding the | | balls), whieh ina traveling dress is placed upon | , the inside and used for guide books and the | | like—whatever will lie flat. A shirred bonnet of the usual scoop shape is made to match th | overdress, and the whole thing is worn ov | plain underdress of cotton or wool, to which i sometimes added a cape or mantle to match the underdress. It is in reality a protective apron for out ot doors play, with a shade hat or bon | net of the same material; but it is put to many uses, and is certainly an economical, as well as | pretty, idea. The most. effective are red, with small Japanese blue and olive figures over plain dresses of olive, with puffed or sinall leg of mut- ton sleeves, and drawn bonnet tied with olive on. The eccentricities of tourists are mainly seen in the style of the hat, an English firm having introduced an ‘*Early” English hat of soft felt. which, though intended especially for sports, has been adopted for traveling. The “hatte” can be thrown up in front or turned and twisted in every way; and quantities of them, in white (eream), peacock blue, red, ecru and old gold, may be seen all over the continent, sometimes making a bit of striking color, sometimes tied down with a gauze veil in such a wayas to make a “gipeey” hat of it. ‘but always an oddity when and wherever seen. Of course the opportunity for the pict: is not lost upon the American lady traveler, and she seizes it, if young and pretty, with natural and charming eagerness. If not young or pretty, | the desire for originality becomes Excensiveld reprehensible and subjects the unconscious object to a severe criticism. Even gentlemen | are affected by the mania for high-colored hats, | and it is not uncommon to see cream and red and even green felt hats in company with the | neat Bond street morning coat, vest and trowsers of mixed almond-tinted cassimere, which is the uniform of the English “swell.” Nothing can be more common-place than the ordinary traveling dress of the German It is the much-puffed and draped dress woolen, with a jacket or paletot or shapeless dolman trimmed with hanging fringe or jet, and a bonnet of straw with a twisted scarf or thick | wreath of ugly and high-colored flowers. Arrived at their destination, they sometimes make aston- ishing toilets, in which high-colored scarf drapery plays a conspicuous part; but they do not as yet seem toduive taken in, to any great extent, the pretty ibilities in cotton and lace | which in Englandiand America take such a prominent place in#ammer dress. The opportunitiess: noweyer, exist for them. Across the Me ‘(market place) of this old town, in front of my window, I can ‘see a pretty costume of navy bleeicambric with worked bor- dered trimming, very“neatly made, with parasol to match—border“scolloped and button-hole stitched—for twentyithree marks, each mark representing twenty-five cents: the whole cos- tume including parasol, $5.

A great novelty in tri » and one that will undoubtedty apo perth in the au- tumn, gives the raised effect of uncut velvet in duced the cost considerably, but took away all the distinctive effect and novelty. The trimming in this instance formed a wide, stiff border above narrow pleating round the bottom of the skirt, which was ungraceful, and needlessly expended the costly ornamentation. A scarf-like band upon the front, placed diagonally, would have prettier, and the finish upon the long coat basque would have been sufficient for the back. The new basques are all cut with deep, rather | narrow lappels; the interior pleating of satin when the exterior is wool, aod | avest of satin forming a sort of rolling collar, which lays back | flat from the front, and may be covered with lace or bordered with lace, a jabot of iace finishing the neck and extending down the front. There is a straw lace or netted scarf of straw, with fringe, which are placed over satin, and are very effective. They are yery finely made, and | are not cheap, consequently only used for rich bonnets of Tuscan bts it upon these— the wide scarf which they cover being rich in color and gathered with the straw netting in the | center, where it is fastened with a very hand- | some and finely-wrought gold clasp, the only ad- | ditional ornament—the effect is very good. A fashionable costume for the Spa's is of | shepherd's check, trimmed with blac! et and worn wit coarse straw bonnet.faced with black velvet and trimmed with asoft twisted silk | scarf ina larger check. The dress usually has a | straight cape to match. A quaint idea is the “pilgrim” hood and eape, with hood made of fine wool, lined with satin and usually in dark | colors, though the lining may be red or wine color, or old blue or gold, as preferred, if not of the same color as the outside. The outfit is very convenient to slip on in the morning and | may be carried in a strap with shawls and other things without injury. There is no attempt in Germany to follow fashion in the way it is done in America. A dress must be made as fashionably as is con- sistent with the ideas of its owner, but when it | is made it is worn without alteration, and with- out shame, until replaced by another. There is something, how that is very charming about high-class German women, ‘and it is the | Tepose, the absence of shams and neryous ¢ citement and worry which are, it must be fessed, somewhat’ characteristic of Ame! women. Their hair smoothly braided like satin, a freze ts only considered exe: on the very young and powder is unknow worse than’ yulgar—it is disreputable dress has the air of permanane: distin- tinguishes ail their belongings; but. while in the common people this leads to dinginess a dowdyism. Among the refined it is good, and harmonious, leading them to avoid fir gew-gaws, which only cheapen, never enhance the effect of dress. SOME CHARACTERISTIC COSTUMES. German lady ared wool, very silk br a mixture of wine color and olive, old blue 1d. There nothing novel ‘about the ma- ials which would be considered heavy with but the costume itself » very good and the effect of the drapery was en- hanced by not being too much cut up. It formed a broad scarf draped semi-diagonaily across tie ina broad knot and as cuffs and yest. The dress worn by a sister of this lady was a peculiar shade of puce colored satin trimmed entirely with beaded lace and real lace as a jabot for the neck and rafiles at the wrist. It was very handsome and vei effective, but the skirt had no. trimmings sav two narrow thickly-laid pleatings, aud an in- terior rutile of lace. There is a total absence in the streets of the German towns of the white and thin dresses, which are common in London, and, go far as the latter are concerned, in New York. But then jadies are much less frequently seen upon the | streets, and the opportunities for observing their home life are not many during a hurried trip. The difference is very marked, however, in this respect. between New York, London and the continental cities. Women are in the very quietly and neatly dressed and servants are seen walking in the streets, also the wives of poor artisans: but the rich women certainly do not make a habit of walk- ing. and therefore there are fewer opportunities of observing their dress, their modes or their manners. At a wedding, which we had the ocd fortune to see -by pure accident, as we passed the church where the religious ceremony was performed, the civil ceremony havi already taken place, the bride wore a plain dress of thick white sil hed round.the bot- tom with a triple ruche, but having neither drapery nor ovei The wreath of orange jossoms was carried completely around the head, unmixed with any other flower, but there was no vel A nied the brid her and arranged her dre her maid. Follo two young ladies, possibly dressed in prettily draped regular Parisian cos- tumes of pink and blue silk, trimmed nite a hite lace bonnets trimmed with They looked much brighter and hap- pier than the bride. There were several other toilets of great be .ut one of which was of nish lace, fvunced, over black satin, and another of dark olive green satin, with an open work of gold embroidery over poppy red satin. The most characteristic dresses are those which never change; the dresses of the peasant women seen in the inarket places and sometimes in groups, as they come in trom the country to make purchases. Short, straight full skirts, of dark linsey-woolsey; straight sleeves and bodies: thick low shoes, ‘and a handkerchief, usually white, doubled and warn as a cap, the corner tending down upon the back, and making a cov ering for the shoulders. This is tie dress that lacks the pleturesque French clement, the winged cap. but is eminently practical; and it must be id for the peasait women, that they look strong, hardy, healthful and bonny, usually, though I saw ‘one yesterday walking. beside a donkey, loaded with vegetables. whose face haunted mé for hours, it was so sad, so like one of Millett's, who has revealed the peasant woman in her isoiation and hopelessness. riage, got out with It snight have been who were There are not many things which it is advan- tageous to buy in the Belgianor German towns, but among the few are amethysts and ar beautifulas well as very quaint ch ajoy to tie eyes, and for what we would con- sider ordinary prices can be obtained such ar- ticles as thrifty housekeepers look at longingly in New York, but dare not think of purchasing. In the hotel where we are staying the sheets are pure linen, the coverlids down, the towels damask, the table cloths fineas “best,” at home, and the curtains lace, with rufied borders inside others of cretonne. The table service is exqui- site china, part of Minton, part of it the produet of the greatest native manufactory. And it is not chipped. The house is over an hundred years old, and many of the servants have been in its employ twenty-five or thirty years. The English take home quantities of linen and whole cases of china and faience from the Nu- remburg and Ludwig Wessel manufactories, but Americans have the fear of the Custom- house before their eyes, and are obliged to leave the things for which they ardently long. and which at native prices might be obtainable, behind them. Copies of old carved furniture, tall clocks, and | pinning wheels are common, and excite the wicked passion of envy in many breasts. But what is the use when one must live in exile to enjoy them. Still the possibilities of such things are certainly an element of happiness in life abroad. Lace of common qualities is not ap- preciably cheaper than in New York, but in the fine real hand-made manufactures, it is little | more than half the cost at home, and is certainly a temptation to those who have money to spen The fine Mechlin and Duchesse or Genoa point laces are the passion of the hour, and the usual sets consist of a large, elerine collar, a long nar- row collarette, which can be used as a barbe, cuffs, and a few yards’ (say three), to be used as flounces across the front of a dress, and which are in two widths—the lower one wider than the upper. Long, slender leaf patterns, ‘illed in with tiny roses, are the favorites, the mesh fine, ground well covered. Spanish lace is as ionable here as at home, and does not vary so much in price, though it is certainly cheap. A large fichu or smal! mantalet can be obtained for twelve marks ($3) of a kind that would cost five or six dollars with us; but the Spanish point is higher and offers few inducements to pur- chasers, probably because it is more ofa nov- is a total absence in England and on the continent of the pretty neckerchiefs of em- broidered and lace-trimmed mull, which have heats 80 ae the vogue in New yore and made so dainty an accessory to morning toilets; and we have been wondering where nde could have come from, and if it wasa ly local fashion. anywhere e itwill travel to New York with bronab.” tangled hain ths leg | costume id other localism coming to New York from Lon- don, but unknown in Germany.

I regret very much that Fam obliged to send this letter off, in order to. be in anything like time, before reaching Frankfort and Wildbad, the latter a watering place in the Black Forest. where we may find something odd in the way of costume. But in these days of telegraphic com- umunication and railroad uniformity, one almost despairs of finding anything different from the dead level, even in the Black Forest, and the occasional ‘glimpses of local and characteristic ‘al boom, while the Oscar Wildes: the human race. One of the things common to us all, to every everywhere, is the unutterably gaudy hits flowers and borders, its high ng and general vulgarity.
