THE FEATURE OF THE FASHIONABLE SEASON. matt | The Philosophy of the Watering Place. OUR DAGUERREOTYPE SKETCH. The point towards which the fashionable world at the North have been looking forward for several weeks, is at length past; the fancy ball is over. The kings and cooks, knights and nuns, dames and dandies, fairies and flends, have again cast their shells, and the insects of fashion are flitting about in all their variety of butterfly plumage. Every thing was propitious while the ar- rangements for the ball were in progress. Nature seem- ed to aid the project of pleasure, the weather was all that could possibly be desired; none of the little vexa- tious disappointments which are so apt to occur to mar, in some degree, the pleasure of the scene, happened on this occasion, but all seemed to combine te give éclat and add pleasure to gaiety. The weather for several days previous to the ball was charming; the evenings delight- fal—a bright moon and a comfortable atmosphere; 80 that all who arrived at Newport were in good temper’ and entered at once upon the work of preparation with a cheerful zest. The town became full, and the publio houses more than full, several days before the 25th. All the cottages in the vicinity of the hotels were engaged by the landlords, who were obliged to colonize lodgers in them until, at length, they were all full, and the publi- cans were under the necessity of turning from their doors loads and loads of fashionables who were, after each arrival, to be seen driving around town, eagerly enquiring for some place to lodge. Some of the know- ing ones had written on in advance, and secured rooms. But the number of these was few, compared with those who wandered about seeking some place to rest them- selves, andenjoy the comforts (!) and delights of the for the present, centre of fashion. Some of the pleasure see! had brought fancy dresses for the occasion, but by far the greater number had to depend upon the costumers; and in due time Messrs. Taylor and Gould opened their wardrobes, and exposed their brilliant dresses for the inspection of the public. Mr. Taylor being a professional costumer, (at 59 Prince street) of course knew what dresses to provide for the occasion. Wednesday evening and the ball room told the best story for his taste. We were pre- pared to discover in the picture which the costumed aesemblage would present, that kind of shabby finery which the worn tinsel and faded colors of theatrical wardrobes frequently, indeed almost always, prevent. But nothing of the kind appeared. The dreeses wero many of them ney, and made of rich material; the ornaments on all were bright; and where brilliancy was desired for effect, it was sure to be brought out. To those who enjoy ludicrous scenes, nothing could be more amusing in the whole affair than the scene at the costu. mer’s rooms, There was perfect medley of humanity The nations of almost all Europe and America were represented by the applicants for fancy dresses. In one corner of the room might be seon a French gentle- man costumed as Sam Slick, and wearing a mag- nificent pair of moustaches, while opposite him was « Grand Turk in @ quandary, |. ¢., 4 gentleman half dressed in the garb of the Turk, consulting a friar as to whether he had not better appearas a monk. In another part of the room was to be seen & brigund, iooking dag- gers at himself in a glass. A stalwart knight jostled against e French boatman,and a hump backed monarch sooght the hair dressers’ corner to give Mr. Dibblee di- rections about his ringlets ; but his story is cut short a Chinese are who wants a flesn colored head wit a long tall. A smooth faced pongetee seeks a huge beardand heavy moustaches—directionsare given how to make white faces black, ba black faces white; and red faces, Foanns Ca 18 he gown, brendiabee nis knife, & hermit wraps hi hile Hamlet 5 against an astrologer in a mystioal robe. Groups of friends occupy different parts of the room. and all converse in loud tones about their dresses. Sume speak Engiish, some French, some italian, and Germany is net silent, wulie, every few moments, ladies 38 the door to the rooms where they are to be furn! ith their fancy suits. All is confusion and noise. The only composed man in the room is the costumor himself, who, perfectly used tosuch scenes, moves about as quietly as if there were no noise, no uproar, no confusion. By the way, speaking of selecting costumes, reminds jk of one little incident o mage ag with the ball, which aswell be given young gentleman who ad intended to appear at the ba ured his costume, sadivane for a lark, put iton in the afternoon, before tea; andnow he had got it on, it ocourred to him that he might as well have a bit of fun in advance; so Set: ting some choice friends to accompany him, ‘the: proceeded to a favorite resort, known as the “Tea dens,” and the end of the matter was, that our friend got merry, and then convivial, and then—forgetful. He went to tleep, and did not ‘awake till about the same time the next day, when he aroused himself, and pro- oveded to the hotel to attend the ball. When told that the dance was over, the supper eaten, and the affair past some hours since, he was incredulous; and we left bim in the enjoyment of a firm belief that’ his triends were trying to dupe him into « belief that the ball was over. “Rip Van Winkle did not take his long nap so much to heart as did our hero of the Tea gardens, but ail this is out of er was 2 Wednesday dinner was served at the Ocean Houso eri thas usual, in order that the large dining hall might be given up to the decorators, wo soon hung is with eens and beautiful flowers. The or- chestra was raised about four feet from the floor, and 4 magnificent arbor thrown over it. Fifteen chandeliers were suspended from the ceiling, and a complete belt of light was radiated from hunireds, if not thousands of wax candles, which were placed at short in- tervals entirely around the room, at a right, jhetgnt to shine to the best possible advantage. The ef- fect ot this arrangement needs to be ie to be appreciated. The light from the chandeliers was, of course, very great, but being softened Lge! it need- ed the beautiful tittle sparkling gems w: rrounded the room to add life tothe scene. Asthe bright orna- ments of the dancers flitted about the room, they sparkled back the me which they received, and the reflection was caught up, and intercepted’ a hun- dred times before rH reached its souree. There was a perfect appearance of splendor in. everything ; it was really difficult to conceive that all this was but mock grandeur; and, indeed, it was not. Fortunes were worn upon forms of beanty, and many » man would might his days in comfort and contentment upon the income which would be afforded by the interest ng the value of the ornaments which were there displa; All were gay—happy—what could real lords, court Wieies oe sages uo more ! Weil, all was at length prepared, and the musicians, Cameron’s band, being in thelr laces, the ball com- menced. First came 4 quadrille, then a va walls, and then the polka, And these deoces alternating, made up the order of the floor for the evening. 1t was near midnight before the magnificent scene was at its height of beau- ty. We regretted, that we could not attain a position overiooking the whole scene; as it was wo made shitt of ths elevation which a chair afforded us; and as we feasted our eyes, thought of the kind con- sideration which we by accident heard expressed for the prees by Miss Ald--ge,che belle of Baltimore,who,while at dreaming that one of the “prentin chiels”’ shot,remarked to a friend that she hoped well provided for, and added that there place prepared from which they could look down upon the whole beauty of the scene; (would that all with whom w to deal were s0 considerate, thought we,) because, ed the belle, we ought to have 4 good description of it. Of course, her kind wishes had in view the * good devcription;” but no matter, it was 9}, 6: eu 60, . nu we saw mors beauty in a cer- tain sultana’s face at # subsequent period of the evoning than we should have discovered,if we had aot by accident swt nearly opposite to it at the tex table. Well, the chair aforesaid being brought into requisition, we got a view of tae whole scene, Nodding plumes, streaming ri- bands, and ail manner of gay head gear, floated in every direction, Polite courtiers, meditative students, pro- found philosophers, bold robbers, sulky brigauds, bloody pirates,erossed the paths of beautiful, stately dames, gay tower girls, peasant maidens, and gay youths of both wexes and of all, charaovers—thore they go. Mingle mingle in the walk, or thread the mazes of the dance, in the most agreeably confusion possible, while the notes of sweet music fill the room,and leave no opportunity for dullness to enter. No, ‘among all the cheracters not one was sven to represent the leaden queen Daullness. NO, the five hundred spirits which were congregated in thet ball, were all at ipods todullness. Versous who were at the late fancy ball ut Saratoga aud at the New- =~ ball, say, that ior number: da character, the last deserving of precedence. There were one or wo very rich costumes at Saratoga which were not on the floor at Newport, hut there w.re mavy at Newpor! that were not at Baratogn. ‘The rules adopted by the committee of management were five in number. » The price of tickets for gentlemen in fancy cos- tame was to lead $6.

Ke, After a full compliment had been paid to the cheer of the supper room, the company returned to the ball- room, aud were soon whirling in the giddy waltz, or per- forming eccentric revolutions around a given space of the apartment, in the beautiful Polka, and thus it was kept up until about four o'clock on Thursday morning, when the company rotired, the ladies to their rooms, the | gentlemen, some to their rooms, some to the bar room, some to the openair. Many of the ladies had been up two nights and aday. There were so many heads to ress, and so few ladies’ hair drowers in town to perfosm the work, that Mr. Flotcher, one of the artists in that line, was employed on ‘Tuesday evening to dress the heads of some of the ladies who were obliged to remain, in ail th 1 ness of stiff decorum, for thirty hours before they appeared out of their rooms, but, by some magic, they managed to luok as bright as new’ buttons. In short, all went off well; and, after the dance was over, the managers had « per ‘in the ball-room, where wit waited on mirth, and Champagne on both. Finally, when the gray light of (morning beyan to peep over. the ocean, u select party started for t jardena, from whence they returned, some at 8, some at 9, and some at 11 o'clock, & m, on Thursday, er looking ‘set, to be sure. A fancy costume, be it never so fine, does not show well by the Mgnt of the sun; and, finally, even these, like butter- flies, who had outlived thelr.companions, disappeared, and nothing was left to remind one of the gay scenes of the night previous, except the rattling of the crockery ware and the jingling of lamp hangiogs. which the ner- Yants.were removing. At a late hour dinner was served, and it was curious fact that the ladies looked much brighter than their companions of the sterner sex — Whether the beverages favorite with the different sexes had anything to do with producing this state of things, we do not pretend to say—we only note the phenomenon, Before dinner, handbills had been distributed through the house, announcing that at four o’clock the Razor Strop man wouldhold forth in frout of the Ocean House, admittance free, strops 25 cents.” So, according to the bill, the man of strops made his sppearance, and the ladies and gentlemen assembled on the piazza to hear the home-made poetry of this remarkable genius. The ladies declared it was very amusing; the men bought the steops; Smith pooketed his varning, and started off liks @ cunning Yankee, some dollars richer for the treat which he had furnished to the boarders at the Ocean House. ‘This little,incideut served to arouse the spirite of the drowsy ones ‘for the time, but all soon subsided into the former quiet of the day after the ball. When at length the time arrived for the passengers to prepare for their departure for New York, there was a gene- ral commotion; porters were in great demand; and the heaps of baggage which soon appeared in the porch, told that no small number were about to take their departure; and sure enough, when the time arrived for leaving, load after load were rolled off to- wards the boat, and there was a promise of breathing room,once more at the Ocean House,where there are still left «full complement. We bade our host of the Ocean farewell, and were soon on the wharf, whore we waited some thirty minutes, when the * Massachusetts” came to our relief, and we were soon in the good company of Capt. Brown, to whom we made known our wishes to be accommodated with a room and writing materials. As | there were several members of the press on board, the Captain gave up to our exclusive use the small cabln in the stern of the boat, and more than that, introduced the steward, who soon furnished us with an excellent supper, and made us as comfortable as possible, and all out of compliment to the press. May Captain Brown, his gen- tlemanly clerk, and good natured steward long live to cheer the spirits and lighten the labors of the chroui- | clers bp? ing events. May their shadows never be | legs. t a comfortable breakfast on Friday morning, we found ourselves at the dock, and once more put our foot upon old Gotham with a great deal of satisfaction; for let those go « pleasuring who like it, we can find dust and confusion enough even here. Go to a watering place, forsooth, and for one’s health too; ‘pon honor, it is too good a joke to apeak seriously of. Leave your quiet a your own good bed, comfortable sitting room, and faniliar faces—for strange faces, noisy halls and inid- night bac nanals. ‘To ride, to baths, to dine exopssive- sot drink generously. Is this seeking health where she Is moat likely to be found? ‘The fault ie not Inthe ¢; not in the hotel, not in any of the means at oom the wearfed mind and body. ‘The means are all at hand: but those who resort to the watering places will not avail themselves of them. Aud after the fashionable Season is over, the é/its come back to the city and se- clude themselves toget a little rest, before the winter season commences, W? hoard a gentleman complaining on Thursday night that he had had #0 hard time of it at Saratoga and Newport, that he was now going to some quiet spot up the Hudson river, to rest himeelf and re- new his energies, But after all it is but life. We find ourselves in the broad stream and steer our course with more or less care, yet, all to- ward the same goal. We all seek the islands of pleasure liein our course, and all endeavor to pluck the flo from the green banks a8 we glide along. We all sook pleasure, and why shall we find fault with others because they do not ire the same pories that we love’ ‘There are pendant all along over terile walls of life, vines producing beauteous flowers, nourished by imagi- nation and fragrant with hope; but alas, these beauteous flowers, they too, often cloak the nucleus of bitter fruits, which are the more sorid as the flowers wer: mising.
