SHppars laced with ribbon to imitate

Pelerines of fur , ivhlcn wo used to call

the Dal shoulders and smooth waists.
Velvet is much worn this winter for

Cinnamon is the favorlto brown this

The ball dresses are very handsome
this winter. The silks and satins have
never been richo.- and tlioro is a prodi
gal wny of using hico and embroidery
which gives a si < mptuous effect.
Silk will bo a very oopular fabric dur
ing the winter for house and visiting
gowns , as there are lee many tumpla-
tlons in the market in the silk line to
resist. ,
The season's now tweeds and Irish
friezes or homespuns , woven by hand
from tlio soft undyod wool , are the very
best of their kind.
The newest dross skirls nro of the

of them have an aslonishlug _ "Hare"
around the lower portion.
Fringes are largely imported in jot ,
gold , lined crystal , iridescent , garnet ,
and bronze bands.
Colored velvet or satin sleeves with
s'ish to mutch nro very pretty with
white bull dresses , and are 'very useful
in f'osheniug up last season's toilettes.
A band of fur at the bottom of a white

Now and very lustrous French failles

Persian effects uro much employed for
irtlstic indoor drosses. Those are com
bined with velvets in dooo rich winter
.onos. The pielurosquo collars and
leovos uro the special point of decora-
ivo study , and the princcsso is the
lavorod style among thesa charming
creations.
Skirt trimmings are everywhere visi
ble. but they are seldom wido. Puir-
ngs , plaitujgs , ruches , tiny frills , fur
and fouthor bands abound ; and some
times , on very clogunt costumes , the
slender fur border is headed by u rich
bead and metal passementerie.
A now and very shaggy make of
cheviot is among the fashionable fab
les for winter traveling costumes ,
coats , and long cloaks. No particular
color predominates , but brilliant bits of
roil bronze _ , red , green , gruy and gold
can be dUeovood on close Inspection of
tlio pattern.
It is siid that iho "Mother Shipton"
or lush pointed crown hats will bo
fashion iblo this winter. Those , how-
ex or , will novoi' bo so protly or becom
ing as the Gainsboroughs. While hats
are of the largest , bonnets are of the
snrillest. A bow with an aigrette or
Hewer , or a tiny e.ipoto of Iho shpo of
a llenri Doux cup , with strings to give
a dignified touch t j their jnuntlnoss , are
the favorite shapes bo far.

The sun is hastening to Iho cud pi' its jour

Pourson's Weekly : The habit of smok
ing dried liorhs in pipes is evidently of
enormous antiquity , for both in the
British islands and in many jmrts of
Europe and Asia , to say nothing of
America , the hupposeil nntivo land of
smoking , pipes of sonpstono and red
olay , xvhlch could not have been used
lor any otlior purpose than the burning
of nonio form of fragrant xvoed , have
been discovered in grax'os and tumuli
xvhioli dale far beyond the duxvn of lilw-
lory. Wilh regard to these islands , .
Ihoro is not the slightest doubt that
smoking xvus practiced long before to
bacco xvas introduced by Tluwlilns and
Itt-loigh. In the Illstorlo of ,1'iantes ,
published in 1576 , occurs the puebugo :
'The purfume of the ( tryed leaves ( of
coltcsfooto ) laycd upon quicko coles
taken into the mouth of a funnell or
tunnell helpeth Htioh as are troubled
ivith shortness of xvlnde and fetch
thoyro breath thlcko and often. " This
points only to the medicinal use of the
practice ; but if tlioro.xvero . any doubt
ns to tno antiquity of Ulnoking for pleas
ure among our ancestors , it would be
disposed of by the folloxving statement
of Dr. Potrle , ono of the most learned of
Irish antiquarians. IldWys : "Smoking
pipes of b'onx.o are frequently found in
! our Irlbh tumuli or boiulohrnl ) mounds
. of the mobl remote antiquity. On the
monument of Uonough O'Brien , king of
, , Tlioraondxvho xvaskilliiAin liiOT , nnd interred -
> terred in tliOixbbeyof t'orcumruo , in the
county of Clare , ho is represented in the
