Opening Day in the Metropolis. ‘The sem! anaval exhibition of fashion that cones with the autumpal cquinox took p'ase yesterday, to the delight of many who refreined frem purchasing unit! they odald know whh certeinty what was to be the prevailing style. ‘Hivbe:to these “ openings” bave been characterized by @ upepiaity aad accord among tee different estabiishm=nis that Imparte! dignity to the cooasion; they advertised in concert, opened in concert, amd in business matiers ap- peared to be actuated by a common impul-e, Now it is altogether different—each catablisbment is a law to itself and Opens to uit its owa convenience any time within the bounds of the menih sacred to faehion Fo-mrriy these openings used to be confined to ome day—now they aro spreed over the thirty days of September. The first pre monitory + ymptoms of thie state of things besame appa ent last epring, when there was observable, ins swualler do gree the same waat of harmony that yesterday marred the effect of “opening day.” If a feeling of indifference tw orested and fostored by scattered openings, the practice may as well be abandoned, for ‘opening day” will soon be a thing of the past. Oar modésier, if they wish to pre serve these holidays of fahion, sho Id come to come ar- Papgements among themselves, for the very charm of these days—that to which they owe their'suscess—is the opportunity they give of examining and comparing differ. ont styles, while the impression made by each is still vivid and distinct. This the new system iotally overlooks or ignores, and by taking away the opportanity so dear to every true woman cunsingly extrects the rery spics and fiavor of the whole thieg. Besides, the “each on bs own hook” principle, though {| may be more independent, lacks the imposing dignity of Compact masses and solid columns, and degrades fashion to the rank of @ guerilla However, we hare not yet reached that extremity, and we hope, by united action on the part of those interested, to avert such a catastro phe, and to retain for some time to come, in all their in tegrity, these pleasant exhibitions. Throughout the entire of yesterday the weather was most favorable, and crowds flocked to the different reception 10oms, from early morn- trg until evening. The preparations for the coming season indicate no feer of “crises,” ‘‘revuisions,’’ or the other Dugbears that frighten commercial mon. In fact, the quiet confidence of those who minister to the gratification of the fashionable world, expressed in this wordless way, is very Te assuring, and proves conclusively (hat “failure” i sim ply a teohpical business term—s mero abstraction, which bas no more effect upon private life or personal expend! ture then the bursting of a bubble has upon the curren’ that bears it along.
