4 OLD AND NEW. Our Municipal Administration for 1879 and Its Complexion. "FORECASTING THE FUTURE. Legislative Action To Be Invoked and Reforms Inaugurated. Ma NEW YORK’S OFFICIAL “ROLL OF HONOR.” o— ‘The loca) political mind is just now in a perfect ferment over the advent of the new dispensation about to assume control of our municipal affairs. Next Wednesday Mr. Edward Cooper quietly steps into the Mayoralty shoes vacated by Mr. Smith Ely, Jr. Mayor Cooper comes into office under peculiar circumstances, He has always been a democrat of the old school. His social position, as the son of a distinguished father anda gentleman of no ordinary attainments, gives him inimediate prestige as Chief Vxecutive of tho metropolis. He has been elected to the oftice despite the bitter and powerful opposition of athoroughly disciplined political organization, WHAY Is LO FOLLOW? The question here naturally arises, What is to fol- low this decisive victory? Tammany, for the second time under ber present leadership, within a period of five yeurs, finds herself prostrate before a Mayor and Board of Aldermen pledged to strike at the yevy groundwork which holds together her com- pict organization. strong chain surrounding this democratic army in New York city is of golden fibre, Take away the patronage and offices which vive ‘Tammany the almost absolute control of over $20,000,000 in patronage annually and she falls to pieces from mere starvation, Her leaders do not go into the organization from wards and districts, work- ing night and day in the turgid waters of politics, without prospects of speedy and ample reward. Neither in the republican nor democratic ranks can philanthropists be found who will enter the arena of politics simply for the public good—not at all. Something of a more tangible nature is required by those “disinterested” gentlemen. The applause of their fellow men and the honor accorded in niches of fame and historical reminiscence are very well in their way, but the “loaves and fishes’ of official pap possess a far more substantial flavor. Thus it is that when men talk of fealty to one set of leaders or the other in Tammany Hall simply upon grounds of gratitude, personal esteem or principle they speak of things with which they are about as conversant as the typical ‘deestrick” leader is with the beauties of heathen mythology. Politicians will turn to the side which holds the butter that is to go on their bread, and the side that has not the dispensing of this oleaginous material will be sure to yet the cold shoulder. The analogy may be made perfectly ap- parent before many months of Mayor Cooper's ad- ministration have passed. Meanwhile the politicians must grope in the dark and await developments, with- out chart or compass to guide them. “INSIDE SLATEMENTS.”” It will probably be several weeks before the axe be- gins to fall, so far as Mayor Cooper is concerned. There is some doubt as to whether the axe will begin to descend at all, in view of the patching up of differences between Mayor Cooper, Comp- troller Kelly and Governor Robinson. This contin- gency, however, is not regarded with any degree of eredulity by gentlemen who claim to know a good deal of what is gong on behind the scenes just at present. In the interviews published two wecks ago in the # p with Congressman O’Brien, Comptroller Kelly aud Sachem Kearney very opposite ideas were expressed as to the tutere of the democratic party in this city and State. James O'Brien advises Mr. Cooper to strike out of his path all the old leaders of Tammany Hall, on the ground that they will effectually block bis administration of the city’s affairs for the next two years if permitted to remain in office. He contends, too, that the majority of the municipal departments are run in the interest of a corrupt | clique, and that the people expect the new Mayor to clear out the whole batch, without regard to political or personal considerations. If such a course is adopted then people may expect to seea lively time in city politics during the coming year. This is a simple course if the charges hinte: at by Mr. O'Brien can be substantiated. Mayor Cooper's path can then be made exceedingly clear. All he has to do is to submit these charges, properly authenticated, to Governor Robinson, and ‘hey will undoubtedly receive the approval of that entleman. The heads of the derelict officials must next fall in the basket and vacancies be immediately filled by Mayor Cooper, irrespective of the confirma- tory action of the Board of Aldermen. Tammany would undoubtedly be the greatest sufferer in this wholesale slaughter. Some people, how- ever, claim that such & proceeding’ might looked upon as of a virulent — partisan character, originated solely to subserve political ends, But it is argued on the other hand that the public mind is decidedly ripe for just such move- iments. The points are raised that while the whole country is in a state of stagnation, hundreds of thousands out of employment, . women and children actually starving for want of the necessaries lit not a proper thing for city and county officials to draw enormous salaries and de- vote their cntire time to the acquisition of wealth at the public expense Retrenchment, reduction and an honest administration of public affairs, it is con- tendea, should be the guiding spirit in y department. Then follows the reasonable conclusion as urged, that an administration in this city founded upon such principles will undoubtedly receive the approval of the whole people. Officials like the Bheritt Register and County Clerk, drawing, it is said, perquisites of from $50,000 to $100,000 per year, | could well afford, it is urged, to discharge their duties forat least one-tenth the amonnt. It is further argued that the system of political organization, originated solely to furnish patronage and place, should be abandoned and the men who make a busi ness of polities compelled to earn a living com- mensurate with their tastes and abilities. The sys- tem of family cliques and disreputable rings in eon- trol of all the fat things falling from the public erib in this city might thus be abolished and the metropo- lis brought back to the days when honesty and ca pacity and not intrigue and political chicanery con- trolled our destinies.

Morrison, May 1, 187; Philip Merkle, May 1, 1879, Two Police Judges go out in 1879 and two in 1480, LEGISLATIVE INTERFERENCE, It seems to be pretty well understood that the Legislature will pass a new charter or several im- portant amendments to the charter of 1873, under the operations of which we are living at present. In cer- tuin influential quarters it is proposed to give the Mayor absolute control of appomtments, taking away the Aldermen's firmatery power. This would wave Mayor Cooper entirely free and unhampered by litical intriguants, He could designate the very best men for heads of departments, police justices, elty marshals and other | offices, regardless of the importunities of ward states: men or leaters in the “deestric ie Another proposition is made to past « sweeping charter, en- tireiy remodelling the whole system of our city gov- ernment and doing away with many needless ay Xe In connection with the subj Mr, on Leginla- the whole plan ment, making many valua- . itis now said that many of those will be adopted by the Legislature of ondition of municipal aff sume state as when thi ‘View Wax prepared for transmission to Albany.

It is equally well known that their wmfuence has been most demo: pon the public service, and it is just as apparent 80 s00n as enough of those retainers are ‘ed from their accustomed source of nutriment o Ons must fall to pieces. They overawe and influence the entire official activity of the city; theircreatures have been elevated to conspicuous judicial, legislative or executive office and put to nefarious use after they have gotten there; appointments are demanded at the insulting dictation of their bosses and comnuit- tees who are perpetuated and sustained by assess- ments on the compensation of the officials.” ‘These well-timed expressions will apply with equal force to the present regime and give some idea of the herculean task before Mayor Cooper if he intends to reform and strike at the root of ail such evils, In 1860 the cost of the city yovernment was $10,140,358 78; for 1879 the estimates will probably be about $30,000,000, ‘THE MUNICIPAL SITUATION REVIEWED. To the 1,000,000 inhabitants of this city, a majority of whom are entirely unfamiliar with the manner in which the municipal offices are paid and controlled, the following summary is taken from the same authoritative source :— “It has already been stated that salaries and ottices now existing have a threefold origin and author- ity:— % ‘irst—Lhrough direct legislation fixing and creat- ing them. “Second—Through ordinances of the Common Coun- ciland the Board of Supervisors, and “Third—Through discretionary powers verted in the heads of departments and offices and judges and clerks of the courts, the result of which diversity of source is great inequality, excess and confusion. “The remedy for this state of things is in legisla- tion, and it is not an easy matter to determine the form which that legislation, to be effective, should take. “The salaries of chief officers and even of minor officers may be fixed by a simple statutory schedule, but in the case of salaries now fixed by law, as is the case with many minor ones, the statute should ex- pressly repeal them. If this were done the subject of the remaining salaries might be referred, with adequate power, to — some — compe- tent local authority, which should have con- trol of the whole ‘question of compensation of all officers and employes paid out of the city treas- ury and not expressly fixed by the Legislature. But it ‘must be borne in mind that this service will be ¢ aded and unsetisfuctorily accomplished unless the authority to which it is referred is in complete accord with the economical necessity of making reductions, HOW TH CITY IS GOVERNED. ‘The following references to the various laws show those salaries which are now fixed by the Legislature and those fixed by local authority uuder acts of the Legislature rd of Eaucation.—Coumissioncrs of the Com- mon Schools—-Powers of appointment and fixing of salaries of teachers and employés conferred on under chapter 112, Laws of 1873, ‘The College of the City of New York.—Trustees, | powers of appointment and fixing of salaries of teachers, &c., conferred on under chapter 471, Laws of 1872.

An- drews still remains, The Sinking Fund Commission is composed of the Mayor, Comptroller, City Cham- berlain, Recorder and President of the Finance Com- mittee of the Board of Aldermen, he latter official has yet to be chosen. IMMEDIATE VACANCIES. The only officials of importance whom Mayor Cooper ‘will feel called upon to appoint soon after bis entrance into office, should Mr, Ely leave the doors open in that respect, are two Police Commissioners in place of Messrs. Erhardt and Wheeler, a Tax Coim- iissioner in place of Mr. Andrews, and an Excise Commissioner in place of Mr, Morton, The laws are so peculiarly mixea, however, as to the last me tioned vacaney, that it is doubtful whether Mr, Cooper will intertere until the courts have deter- mined the controversy. THE COURTS. ALLEGED ILLEGALITY OF SPECIAL SESSIONS COMMITMENTS, A matter of unusual interest was before Judge Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, in- volving the legality of the detention of all prisoners convicted at the Court of Special Sessions for the past seven months. James Morrison was brought down from the Penitentiary on a writ of habeas corpus taken out by Mr. William F. Kintzing, his counsel. Assistant District Attorney Leary appeared for the people. The return to the writ showed that Morrison was convicted on the 13th inst. of petit larceny and sentenced at the Court of Special Sessions to six months’ imprisonment. ‘The commitment purports to be signed by Robert H. Johnston, as Clerk of the Court. Ti is tended by Mr, Kintzing that this commitment is illegal, inasmuch as Mr. Johuston’s term of oftice "expired in May last, and that the Board of Police Justices have not chosen his suc- cessor, although required by law to do so within a given number of days, and there is no provision tor providing a clerk in case of a failure to elect new ‘one as required. It is also contended that the act of 1458, in requiring the appointment of a clerk, is mandatory. In consequence, however, of the indis- position of the prisone 8 counsel, the writ was ad- journed over until the 3ist inst., when the point raised will be argued. In the meantime the prisoner ‘was remanded. HABEAS CORPUS HUMOR, William Kenealy, alias King, was sentenced to Blackwell's Island by Police Justice Wheeler for one year, on the complaint of his wife, for having aban- doned her. His counsel, Mr. William F, Howo, brought him before Judge Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus, claiming that the return of the police magistrate is informal and not suficiently specific in failing to properly return the evidence in the case. “Besides,” said Mr. Howe, ‘Major Noah has informed me that he consents to the discharge of my client.” “Who is Major Noah?” queried Judge Davis, “I thought there was but one Major ‘Noah’ in this court.”” (Laughter, “Your Honor is general in command here,” re- sponded Mr. Howe; “but the gentleman of whom I spoke ix the ‘general’ counsel who represents the Conmnissioners of Charities and Correction in cases of this character.”” Amid roars of laughter from the assemblazo dndge Davis announced that he would reserve his decision. IN THE PAPER DEPARTMENT. ‘There has already been published in the HenaLp the fact of the taking out by Archangelo Fosco of writs of habeas corpus to recover the enstody of two younger brothers from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who rescued them from Raphacl de Garcia, who was accused of kidnapping them in Italy, but was discharged. The case came for a hearing yesterday before Judge Davis, when Mr. Delafield opposed the discharge on the part of the society, ax alao did counsel for the Emigra- tion Commissioners. It was urged that it would be cruelty to send the boys back to Italy, where their father can only carn cight cents a day, whereas their elder brothers were willing to support them here. They were first described in this proceeding as “in the paper department,” which was found to mean ragpickers. Judge Davis took the papers for exami- nation. LAURA'S LOVER'S GIFT. Sobbing and weeping as if her heart would break Laura Moore, a handsome quadroon, stood at the bar of Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday. She was accused of having received and disposed of a pair of diamond earrings Which had been stolen from Mrs. ‘Thompson, at the Mansion House, at Long Branch, last tummer. Detective Price arrested Laura yester- uy morning in the Southern Hotel, in this city, whither she had just come from Schenectady. Coun- sellor Goldie addressed the Court on the girl's behalf, and another officer, who had been looking after the case, related the facts, so far as he knew thei, to Judge Kasmire. «If Your Honor please,”’ said counscl, ‘this is avery peculiar case. I may say an exe case. Chis poor woman (accompaniment of sobs from the trembling though tassive form of Laura) has | been placed in a remarkably false porition. She never stole, nor will it be claimed that she the diamond earrings. No; they were her by a colored gentlemen at Long Branch last summer. He was paying his addresses to Laura and (sob, sob, sob, from the priscner) he found them in the sweepings at the Mansion House, where he was an employe. She, this poor gifl, Your Houor, came to this city in ab: solute ignorance of the value of the gems she brought with her, and did not discover their intrinsic worth until necessity drove her to raise some money on them, She got $150 for them, and when she left this city (here connsel became somewhat obscure us to the manner and cause of her departure) she did so pertectiy innocent of any crime, so far as the inteut is concerned, She remained away from her friends and came buck last night at my request.” Detective Price very suceincily informed His Honor that Laura left, a warrant having been issued for her apprehension and a sheriff from New Jersey having mude very anxious and pertinent inquiries about her. she did return on Friday night and he found her yes: terday. ‘The case as presented to the Judge yesterday was too complex for unravelling. It was journed until this morning, and Laura, like a sunburned Niobe bathed in tears, was led into the prison. DORA FIERO'S FATE. r did si and thrilling episode of a brother trying to rescue his sister from a life of shame was related in the Henatp. The girl was pretty Dora Fiero, and she had been followed to a concert hall by her brother, who suspected that she was on the verge of ruin. He found her on the floor of the place waltzing with @ young man, and ordered her to leave and go home with him, She refused to do so, and her brother seized and attempted to drag her to the door by main force. Her partner interfered, and the brother drew a revolver, threatening to shoot down the first man who should dare to bar his way out with his wayward sister. It was an exciting cireur stance, and the morning journals next day rang the changes on a brother's love and a sister's folly. The case went into the courts, and was a nine days’ won- der, ‘Tho dear public was lulled to sleep by the bee — lovely Dora was saved, and there the matter ended, She was not, Yosterday she was brought into Jet- ferson Market Prison by Detective Price, of the snty-ninth precinct, and accused of having stolen 45, Her story was the same sud one so often heard in @ police court.

After riding a short distance (during which time my ticket had been taken up by the conductor) the engine broke down. The passengers were then re- quested to take the following train, the engine of which was being made fast on the rear end of the train on which I was. I very readily complied with the conductor's request, got off, and on at- tempting to enter the car with several others similarly situated was refused passage, having no ticket. In order to reach my destination—viz., Forty- second street—I was compelled to purchase anoth Upon my making complaint to the ticket agent Fighteenth street station, where the accident curred, I was simply referred to the company's office, No. 7 Broadway, which was certainly very meagre satisfaction for the inconvenience and annoy- ance I was compelled to suffer through no fauit of mine. G. T. H. SLOW TIME ON THE HARLEM. To rae Eprron or tHe Heratp:— The attention of the directors is called to the man- agement of the Harlem and Shady Side steamers. The Shady Side on Saturday morning took one hour and six minutes on the 8:15 trip from Harlem, and, as usual, put in an excuse that the coal was bad and gave vo steam. The upper saloon is not warmed and at night but poorly lighted. Some time ago one of the deck hats anda fire- man attempted to run the boat, and en- deavored to carry away Harlem Bridge, leaving the stockholders to pay the damages done to the boat, and these men are still retained in the employ of the company. The late accident to the Morrisania is another evidence of the carelessness practised ou the line, and again the stockholders have to foot a bill of several thousand dollars, Passengers are left to shiver on the dock, waiting the arrival of the boat at Harlem for the 8:15 trip, while the Dell ix always on time and takes in all the 119th strect passengers. Unless some means ure taken to make better time and some little atten- tion given to the comfort of the passengers the travel will considerably fall off, and the once popular boats will be no od ronized than the ‘Grove.” Let the stockholders and directors look to this complaint. The superintendent of the line is ill, but surely some one ought to see that the boats are properly warmed and lighted, Forty-five min- utes from Harlem Bridge to Fulton slip is long enough. ‘The boats can do the trip in thirty-five minutes, as they have often done, and probably rapid transit may compel them to do the same bag, ‘OVERZEALOUS. Ellen Whalen was arraigned in Special Sessions yes- terday, c! ed with having stolen an sccordeon from the store of Ehrich Brothers, on Eighth ave- nue, The complainant was Alexander Sisson, who is employed by the firm as a private detective. He swore that the prisoner took from one of the toy counters an accordeon valued at cighty cents, and, herman. it under her cloak, left the store, and that he followed her and caused her arrest. Counsellor Hummel ap- poured for the prisoner, and offered convineing testi- mony of her good character, The cheek ticket, show- ing that she had purchased and paid for the toy, was also produced, Mrs. Whalen testified to the purchase and payment of the article, and explained thut she was so much mortified and excited by her arrest that she forgot to exhibit it at the time. Her counsel became eloquent in ad- dressing the Court and demanded an honorable dis- charge for his client. After a brief consultation the presiding jud rendered a verdict of not guilty. ‘The announce it was the signal for an ont- burst of appli from the spectators, Less two months ago the same man, Sis- son, arrested a respectable woman who lives in Jersey City for « sitilar offence. The poor woman Was so terrified by her incarceration that she neglected to communicate with her triends, and upon her trial she was found guilty, In less than five minutes after the verdict had been rendered a num- ber of ladies arrived in court and vouched for the character of the prisoner, She was rel from custody the same di ROGUES PLAYING DETECTIVE. Louis Deslemer, of No. 37 East Eighth street, bought # diamond ring for $17 from a young man on the 20th inst. An hour after the purchase was made John E. Smith, of No. 510 East Thirty-third street, entered Deslemer’s store with the man who had sold vustody, and, declaring himeelf to be a Central detective and the man with him o who had stolen the ring, obtained possession of the jewel. Next day Mr. Deslemer very naturally went to Headquarters to ask for his rights in the premises and was informed that no detective had had anything todo in the matter, very accurately, and that gentlem arraigned at Jeierson Market Poli art yesterday aud held in $1,900 bail to give au account of himeelt to a jury. WHAT TO WEAR. Dame Fashion's Latest Dictates to Her Numerous Court. —— DRESSES FOR THE NEW YEAR Novelties in Silk, Satin, Velvet, Brocade, India Muslin and Crepe de Chine. RECEPTION. ee A BRIDE’S ‘There was a time when ordinary dress was so sim- ple and so little diversified that uo more thought was required in regard to it than was necessary for the selection of a suitable material and color for the pur- pose for which it was required, But now colors have been multiplied and broken up into an infinite num- ber of shades, and instead of afew standard fabrics we can count hundreds, half at least being only imi- tations of the original by whose name they are called. SEASONABLE FABRICS, Among tne materials used for the elegant costumes now designed by Fashion's handmaids it is observed that the light gauzes and tissues, which a little while since were considered so essential for evening dresses, are now somewhat in the background, Pre- yailing shapes require fabrics with more body, and they are, if possible, more rich and varied than ever. Regal velvet, sheeny satin, stately brocade, rustling silk, fairy-like India muslin, erépe de chine and a host of other lovely materials preseat themselves for the suffrages of the fair ones who have forgotten, or chosen to ignore the old adage, “Beauty when unadorned is then adorned the most.” Mousscline de laine is a charming material which is quite the ruge abroad for cvening dresses. It is soft, light and supple, drapes gracefully, and comes inthe most delicate shades. The same may be said of India camel's hair, only it is thicker. Mousseline de luine is particularly charming in white, and looks beautiful when embroidered. It is particularly ap- propriate, over white silk, for young ladies. Em- bossed velvets and sating are very popular, and the fashionable colors—garnet, rose, sulphur, straw color and violet—are profusely used, to the exclu- sion of gold and beige, which are more or less neg- lected. Evening dresses are usually made of two materials only, such as velvet and brocaded satin or faille and crepe de chine. Silk muslin, clegautly embroidered, is still in vogue for evening toilets, and white India muil dresses are mace up with a profusion of tiny ruffles, hemmed with colored silk flo nd trimmed with ribbons and flowers to match, and worn by very young ladies. The tints most desired for evening dresses are peach and lemon, palest turquoise, lotus blue, and a cream tint, which is the natural mate to olive. Pink is again almost a royal favorite, owing to its beauty asa combination shade and its especial effectiveness with black, brown and dark green. S$ TRIMMINGS. ‘The trimmings for evening dresses are of unusual richness and varicty. Perfect cascades of ribbon are used, often placed all down the dress—sometimes two or three rows on the front, and sometimes tho ribbon is ruched of placed in coquilles all round the bottom of the train and up the sides. The very finest ribbons are employed, with the two sides in different shades or else delicately shaded from the darkest to the lightest, or flowered on one side and plain on the other. Tuches are very fashionable, sometimes quilled in the middle and having the edges pinked out, and this particular kind is known as chicorée. Some prefer to quill them near the top, so as to give the effect of a tiny flounce. ‘The trimming which holds the highest position in decorative art is lace of all kinds and descrip- tions. It is worn everywhere. Some of the loveliest dresses have three jabots of lace placed perpendicularly on the front, from the waist down. dJabots down each side of the long court train have a very elegant effect. Lace flounces are seldom used, but ladies can utilize them by draping them diagonally like scarfs across the apron, and this arrangement gives a very rich effect. The latest novelty is to embroider black Chantilly lace with white. The effect is striking and handsome. Embroidery of all kinds is worn, and the height of elegance is to have the embroidery worked directly on the dress itself; but this is very costly, and when the bands of embroidery are neatly appliqué the effect is almost the same. Chenille embroidery in brilliant shades is very beautiful; but the most beautiful is the silk embroidery on tulle, representing garlands of flowers in their natural shades. Embroidered plaques are placed down the dresses, and are very effective. Flowers figure largely in the ornamentation of ball dresses. A necklace of drooping flowers, foliage or grasses is worn with armlcts of the same. These serve admirably to conceal a thin neck and apparently shorten a long arm. The sleeve is undoubtedly one of the most im- portant points with regard to the toilet. It shouldbe in harmony with the whole, both as to shape and garniture, so a simple dres# requires a simple sleeve. The intuition of coquetry can only advise when the siceve may be shortened to the elbow, or when it may be slashed to display the lace underneath, or finished with ruffled cuffs to show off the delicacy of the hand. TOILEDS FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY. Modistes say that « great number of handsome black dresses have been made for New Year's recep- tions, and that many ladies are exhibiting a laudable desire to economize by the purchase of dresses that willdo for acowmon rather than « particular pur- pone, There is a great fancy for black velvet dresses for reception and even for evening wear, Some very elegant black satin dresses are trimmed with beaded passementeric and fringe or lace for the older of the fashionable ladies, and black satin in combina- tion with moire or plain gros grain silk for younger matrons. An exquisite dress is of rich black silk embroidered ina lily of the valley und pansy pattern in a dense garland. Three ciubroidered scarts cross the tablier diagonally and form the drapery on the train. The skirt is trimmed around at the foot with triple clus. tered box plaiting, headed by knife plaiting arranged in the halt open fan style. A dress of plain black satin and silk has a very gracetul tablier of silk on the left side, laid in lengthwise side plaits—the plaited arrangement ex- | tending slightly beyond the centre of the front—and lengthwise gathered satin on the right side, the silk and satin so disposed covering the front and side ores. Silk and satin ix effectively atthe ck in bouffante drapery, while at the foot of the skirt is @ simple border of beautifully made knife plaiting. The basque waist of satin displays a vest of silk and the sleeves of satin, with cutfs of silk. AINDOW" CORTUMES, Varying the fancy for dresses of black, there are striking and attractive creations in which several colors are introduced, A beautiful dress is composed of satin, faille and very fine camel's hair, The basque of corn colored camel's hair is cut away above below the waist showing a vest of caroubier satin; a deep collar and tabs in the back, also of satin. The “vadne” train has a beautifully shirred front of corn-colored faille, crossed low down by a draped wash of camel’s hi Long handsome revers down the sides are of caroubier satin, and the back, of camel's hair, is gracefully draped and finished with a plaiting of taille, headed with satin. A charming combination of velvet, satin and faille is in the princess style, with a basque in front and square train in the back, the dress being principally ot black velvet. The vest and cuffs are of old gold satin, and handsome panels of the be nd material extend down each side of the skirt in front and are crossed by three small sashes made of double-faced ribbon, black velvet on one side and red silk on the other. Two large bows of the same ribbon are placed down the middle of the train, A ruche of red faille, faced with old gold satin, extends round the neck and down the fronts in a line with the edges of the vest and covers the front seams of the panels, Another similar ruche borders the train and ts continued up the side, simu- lating @ manteau de cour, ‘An exceedingly stylish and iadylike costume is in lavender silk and =. velvet, and a very rich and showy dress is of black velyet, bright olive satin and brown silk, richly embroidered in a variety of bright colors, A very gentee! dress is of velvet, moire antique and satin, agoibea with a rich fringe, each material being of the exact Bordeaux shade. A BILIDK'S RECEPTION, A bride will close her house and have her reception rooms lit with gas throughout the day as well as evening, and will receive with her bridesmaids in the wedding costumes. ‘The charming dress of white brocade, combined with white satin, haw white lace sleeves to the elbow, square neck, rounded at the corners and = finshed with lace ruffles raised upon 4 wire and bent over to form a lace collarctte. The b is cut en princesse, but with «mall side paniers and a trained «kirt, of which the trimming is formed by alternaty knife piaitings of white satin aud crepe lisse, over which the brocade is cut ont in Vandykes and edged with @ narrow quilling and rouraus of satin. One of the party will wear an exquisite dress of delicate rose-colored and white brocade silk and plain nearly hale oe aon “are ps ie the ar. brocade, the dress belng extended to the requiaite length by the blue silk. At the foot the skirt is bordered by a laid knife plaiting, over- shadowed by a shell-like arrangement of the brocade silk, edged With narrow knift plaiting of the faille. Ascarf drapery, formed of the two varieties of silk, ‘so covers the skirt as to rob it of the singular and outré effect which maint be supposed to attach to it. The trimmis of white and rose-colored laminé fringe, with tufts of ap) blossoms with- out foliage, confining the folds of the drapery. The Waist is cut square neck, and filled in with crepe lixse and Bretoune, while the elbow sleeves, of blu@ silk, ure finished with a revers of the brocade silk, and filled in with wochings of lace, Athird graceful and lovely toilet is composed of pink damassé silk, satin and faille. The ‘Lamballe” polonaise is made’ principally of the damassé, and is very bouffant in the back. It has a vest and @ square apron of satin, richly embroidered in silver, the long train of failie has a plaiting of the same, ten flounces of satin, embroidered in. silver, and a heading of damassé, cut in points and falling over the uppermost of the satin flounces, The elbow sleeves are finished with a deep ruffte of lace and silver. The slippers are of pink damassé, orna- mented at the toe and on the instep with filigree silver buttertlies. A SUPERB COSTUME. ‘This was made after the style of the “Adrienne” rincess dress, and is remarked for its grand air, rincipally of heavy, cream colored satin, the front is cut Pompadour’ atthe neck’ and separated a little below the -waist, showing* a skirt of garnet velvet, ornamented” with. two scarfs of cream colored crépe. de chine, that are trimmed with # heavy garnet silk fringe with tassela of cream colored chenille intermixed, ./Fhe fronts are turned back with large -revers of garnet brocaded velvet and satin, and caught together with ao large bow of velvet ynd satin over the long train, which is trimmed with a cascade of plaitings made of the crépe de chine. Plaitings of the same material extend around the foot of the dress. The cuffs and dee) lar are of velvet, and the slippers, with Spanish arch, are of cream colored satin, with garnet colored ross in em: bossed velvet. THE “LARTITIA’ STYLE. : An exquisite toilet is of pale blue brocade, satin, faille and plush. The “Laetitia” polonaise is of the brocade, and the cut away fronts show a vest of silk plush above and below the waist, wnd an overskirt of satin laid in folds and trimmed with chenille fringe. There are two long tabs in the back, faced with satin and surmounted by a rosette, and the long pointed train is of faille, trimmed with plaitings and ruchings of satin. The collar and cutts are o: plush and the but- tons of finely wrought silver. FLORAL GARNITURE, ‘There is a de-ided outcropping of floral garniture on evening dresses this season, Miowers of one kand rather than a mixture, seem to be preferred. ‘Thin dresses are profusely trimmed with flowers, large bouquets to hold’ in place the folds of the drapery, or smali_ bonquets laced here and there’ upon the train or the tablier. An elegant white satin dress has the train studded with violet pansies, while garlands of pansies cross the tablier, a garland outlining the square neck, and heading the rich lace and ruching that'trim the sleeves. ses, primroses und other blossoms are arranged with’ velvet antumn leaves and used tor trimming gauze or silk muslin ball dresses. The waist bouquct is one of the most de- cided requirements of the mode, and the little breast knot of pansies or violets one of the most popular caprices. DRESS COLORS IN ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS. All ladies know that a color presents a different tint in the daytime to that shown in artificial light. The color of @ texture gains or loses by the latter according to the amount of yellow contained in it, Violet, which is a complementary color to yellow, ia decomposed in gaslight; the blie disappears and it becomes red. blue, if pure, thus borders on green; if dark, it appears hursh and black, and if pale, loses color and becomes gray. Turquoise silk, which by sunlight is beautiful, loses its brilliancy and ap- pears faded. In ascending the scale of cold colors yellow greens are among the prettiest for evening wear. ‘Thus, applegreen is not far from emerald, and emerald, without changing tint, gaina in brillianey and rich- ness, Amber, already beautiful, ucquires richness; straw color slightly reddens in the folds; sulphur does not change. There is nothing, perhaps, more charming than maize, for, without® losing its pe- ferapd qualities, it gains an undefinable warmth of int. ‘The same effect is produced in red shades, for the zellow glare of evening lights, which is so fatal to luce, augments their splendor. Ruby is heightened in its beauty, particularly in plush materials; orange red brightens, and pure orange takes a flame colo: Black and white do not escape the action of arti- ficial light. Those beautiful blacks, so well named after the raven’s wing, become dull and heavy by not. retaining the blue shade which gives them life and depth. White, on the contrary, improves at night, and, if faded, revives. For this reason actresses often ask for a white that has lost its color, believing that the footlights will restore its lost brilliancy, This white is called blanc-de-lumitre. Acolor which retains its charm is silver gray— always pleasing and distii . It even gains a slightly rose color hue; but should the gray contain asuspicion of blue, like pearl gray, the blue tint is lost and the distinctive characteristic of pearl gray disappears. EVENING CLOAKS. A very handsome and useful ¢vening cloak is of double-taced soft plush, in the circular shape. The edge is finished by # simple hem, about one inch in width. The fronts are faced with silk, and a silk-lined bournous hood, garnished with a large silk taseelled cord, and a rich, oxidized silver clasp. This cioth is shown in a variety of colora— éeru, steel and iron grays, brown and drab, self- lined with blue, scarlet or some other lively color. Miniver cloth is also used for evening cloaks and closely resembles the finest mintver fur. An opera mantle, fit for an Eastern princess, is made of heavy white silk matelasse, with red gold clasp and profusely trimmed with feathers, f1 and beading. The latest freak of fashion is a celluloid watch- case, and these are very unique and pretty. ‘They are finished at the edges with # narrow gold band, and the handle and winder are also of gold, REAL ESTATE.
