Were St. Paul among us to-day he would be com- pelled to say precisely the same thing without any modification or the gloss of extenuation; except, perhaps, he were to add that as they passed away they, to a certain extent, improved. Fashion is the nearest approach to the Utopian phantasy of Perpetual motion that has manifested itself in modern times. Her modes are as various as her moods, and were it notfor the slight improve- ments that from time to time crop forth above the surface her caprices would be almost unen- durable. Asa general thing these improvements are still further improved upon by American women; and we rejoice exceedingly to see them adopting warmer dress material for winter wear, and taking more kindly to weiring thicker shoes and dresses that do not turn them into street sweeping machines. Our fair readera, however, need feel no alarm at our text; for itis not our intention to preach them @ sermon upon this pro- lifie theme, but rather to present to them an interesting melange on the fashions and fashiona- ble doings, which probably may delight their hearts and perchance eraze their heads for at least one entire week. Yet, by way of pre- lude, we say unto them Verily! verdy! one change doth tread upon another's heels so fast that ye must either read the Heraup or watch and wait yourselves, lest ye lose some beautiful, fascinating transformation. It is even dangerous to avail yourselves of the requisite amount of sleep—if ye rely upon your- selves—lest in the few brief hours that ye lie en- wrapt in oblivion some potent variations do not take place and that ere ye awaken again that these in turm have not made way for some con- trivance more novel and pleasing. A whisper comes to us from over the Atlantic that a great flunkey question is now agt- tating the public mind in England. In that land of “arf hand arf’ the “grandes dames” are determined that there shall be no ‘arf hand arf? moasures between themselves and their domestics. Mary Aun and Mary Jane, when rigged out for a holiday promenade, are too often mistaken for fine Iadies to suit their mis- tresses; and Jolu Tuomas, or the butler, if he uappens to have @ geutleman-like appearance, is often addressed as the guest, and the gentleman of the house is a8 often mistuken for a servant, To remedy this growing ovil the English ladies ; are going to try their hand at domestic uniforus— badges of servitude—for male and female servants, 80 tiat there may be no more “ deception as to their real condition.” That there may be no failure about what they are undertaking, they want their servants so conspicuous that they may be “knowa @ mile off.” One might be inclined to believe that the unmistakably servantish appearance of servants ‘‘a mile off’ would be a paliiaiion of their offence (!); but one of the fashionable journals—probably in the of the servacts—thiuks it but natural that giish ladies shoud not iike to be carcatureu, especially as they carry the fashions as far as they can well be carried without incurr.ng rid.- cule.” How sad to see the lower classes what they are not! The Loadon ladies think it very curious that the inconvenience of the present mau- ner of dressing has never occurred to Mary Aon before. She can scarcely have failed to observe that when the ladies of the house play croquet they do not disport themselves in trains, nor when they go skating do they appear in little fairy bun- nets that look as if you might blow them away.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENGE OF THE HERALD. Eugenic’s Chatelaine=Leoping Up Dressce and vn Conflict with the Pope—Young Ladios ia Pink=New Styles of nddress—Uolors from Spalo—Skiris and Skirts Trimmings— Afternoon aud Eventng Tollets—Furs, Paris, Jan, 31, 1868, Paris is very much overrun this week with fashionable items, but even the Empress’ jewelled chatelaine, of which so much has been said since the last ball at the Tuileries (and with which the left side of her tulle overtunic was looped up), has lost some of its prestige, and the curious complaint about loopiag up emanating from Rome is the preferred topic. The clergy are in disgrace for having shown signs of Benoiton tendencies in the arrangement of the folds of their robes. The Pope has decrced understrings, such as ladies adopt in cases of difficulty with Parisian macadam, and the measure is already in full force. Now, of course, your fashions correspond- ent has no voics in the matter, but would not our modern bunching up behind have been far preferable to the now obsolete tying up all round without any crinoline underneath? If the idea of clergy in crinolines cannot for an instant be coua- tenanced, can the authorized looping up be con- sidered efficacious? Obedience is fortunately blind in matters of othodoxy. Rome is the residence ot a newly married couple whose espousals have been celebrated in two acts. The first, legaliy, at Paris, where the Comtesse de Swieykows\a und the Duc de Nouilles were nouuced man and wife, aud the second at the Vati- can, where their union was consecrated, I can- not forbear noticing in connection with this wed- ding tuat the discovery ot steam promotes con- jugal bliss. Where is the husband who coakl patientiy wait for the consummation of these twe acts, if, as tormerly, he had to look forward to @ fortnight’s delay between the assurance that he was mnarried and the consciousness thit he was not? Too much steam and celerity beforehand may be objectionable, and this was the opinion of M.
