Those who predicted the return of long skirts this season for street anil walking dresses, must by this time, confess them selves mistaken. .So far from short dresses having lost any of the vogue they had achieved, they have gained great ad ditional prestige. The most elegant ma terials are now made up into short cos tumes, rivalling in cost and pretension the most elaborate evening toilets. There are two favorite methods of making these costumes. One consists of a skirt and full casnque or Polonaise; the other, of two skirts, the upper one very long, and a basque, or hurt coat with lapels. The new methods of trimming exhibit the most extravagant use of cosily mate rials. Suits of rich yros-grnin, of the now shades, have the full and elaborate trim mings, plaited Ihmnees, and headings lined with velvet many shades darker, and arranged so that the velvet gives the warm, rich tone to the dress, without being actually seen. Mats ol velvet are very distinguished, | trimmed with a very rich eroehet cnvW'oid ery, into which the smallest quantity of rut jet is introduced, and bordered with wide guipure lace. The overskirts are very deep at the back, but are rounded Up and looped very high at the sides. The costume is not unlVequcntly com posed of a velvet overskirt and basque, worn over a petticoat of rich satin trim med with very narrow flounces, and quilt ed into a design as a heading. Hlaeh vel vet is very effective in this way, over a skirt ot blue or maroon satin, the entire costume—hat, gloves, etc.—carefully carrying out the idea of the colors and other details. The severity of the season following close upon a very warm summer, has brought out a great many fur-trimmed suits of great beauty and elegance. Col ors, such as fuesliia, maroon, wine-color and dark green, are even more fashiona ble than black, and are displayed to the greatest advantage by rich bands of grebe or sable fur, and collars, culls, and re vers ol satin, or rjros-fjmiu trimmed on. Jackets of quilted satin, bordered with fur, or without sleeves, are used tor breakfast aud morning wear, and in white satin, with swans-down edge, are not unlrcquently seen in the evening. Many dresses for dinner and evening wear are composed of rich gros-grain or poult do soh', the flounces plaited over under ones of muslin, edged with Valen ciennes lace. The upper skirt is looped high, and bordered with guipure lace half a yard wide ; and the waist is composed of muslin richly trimmed and having sleeves, and small, loose jacket or bodice, which displays the decoration, and has fancy basques attached, which take the place of SMSII Very pretty dresses are made for little girls, of white muslin, high iu the neck, with long sleeves and bright Homan .scar let or blue sashes. The lower skirt is trim med with rutiles, the upper skirt bunched at the sides, and cut into a round or point ed apron in front, and very much trimmed, as is the pulled bodice, with Valeneienness The winter cloth suits for ordinary wea.t are becoming n> popular as the linen suit, for Summer wear. There is no wear out to such suits, and they should he finished, therefore, with thick galoons or heavy braids that will last about as long as the material. Furs are used for trimming them by persons who expect them to serve as handsome winter suits. In furs, sublo is this winter taking the place of high-class mink. It is made up in about the same style, excepting that the lining is tiiiek ijros-tjrain, and no orna ments are used. Instead of tassels, and the like, the ends of the muff are drawn in with elastic, and close warmly over the wrist. * WINTUIt 1IONMTS. W e iiiv undoubtedly getting back as last as possible to the period wlnn hats and bonnets had a real existence, and were things to be seen, and felt, and admired, and counted upon as something that had a tangible existence. The “Sauar” bonnet and the little triangular Fanehon have gone out of existence; and now the Dia dem is following suit, and in its place is the high hat, with long, sweeping plume, and the graceful and piiplant Gipsy, with curved brim, and jaunty leathers set straight againstjhe small crown. A great many bonnets are made of the mixture of tie- browns, light coffee and chestnut brown, and two materials, velvet and gros-yrain. The trimming generally consists of a long plume of the light color, and a tuft of pink roses in bronze leaves. A very pretty bonnet is made black velvet, the brim lined with blue, blue strings, which tie at the side, and three Ostrich tips, one blue, two black. A becoming hat, for a blonde, for con cert or matinee wear, is of sky-blue gras grain, the brim turned up, and lined with black velvet. The trimming consists of roses, bows of black velvet, and bows and ends of sky-blue gras-grain ribbon, A handsome hat of gray velvet has the brim turned up and lined with black vel vet, and a front heightened by standing shell of white lace holding a jet aigrette, von light and exquisitely cut. A long gray plume is placed on one side, and hangs low at the back; and covering the end of this, is a small boquet of mixed roses with grass. Another bonnet is of pale Havana vel vet, surrounded by folds ot^ grot-grain, which are carried down the sides, and form brides or strings. A group of small ostrich feathers, in ten shades, curl over the top, and the inside of the brim is trimmed with a double quilling of gras-grain, a small bouquet ol roses, and a knot of rib bon with fringed ends. One of tile distinguishing features of this \\ inter’s modes is the large colored ostrich feather, placed in a curve over the velvet or satin bonnet, it is also to be remarked that we once more wear some tiling like tne tour lie tele, or cap of for mer bonnets—that is, luce and flowers under the bonnet—which lias not been seen for a long time. SKATING COSTUMES. Cloth is the material used lor skating dresses this Winter, especially for the sim ple costumes consisting of upperskirts and jacket, made for wear over plain black silk, or any other ordinary walking skirts. I lie prettiest are dark blue, wine color, or red juarron, trimmed with grebe pocket mull', and jaunty cap or hat to match, the former bordered with grebe, the latter edged with band of grebe, and orna mented with small plume and aigrette, set erect, and held by jeweled horseshoe. The prettiest skating-costume we have seen was made of scarlet cloth, and trimmed with white fur, and worn with white muff and boa, over a petticoat of white mohair, trimmed with plaitings headed with scarlet velvet. Hut this was too striking to be worn by any but a very tine line skater, and, morever, requires to be perfect in its details. TOILET FOIt THE MONTH. Morning dress of light blue French merino, cut with a Watteau at the back, and open (pagoda) sleeves. The skirt is slightly long at the back, and full, but perfectly plain. The bodice and sleeves are ornamented with a broad band of black velvet, which outlines a small pointed pelerine cape, terminating in bows and long ends at tiro back, and a border set up somewhat from the edge, upon the sleeve*. An evening dress, of Nile-green silk, is cut with a very long train, and trimmed in a deep Vandyke pattern, with two row's of silver fringe. The same trimming simu lates an upper-skirt, which is caught up apparently with silver grass, and surrounds the basque of the bodice, and the halt sleeve, which is open to disclose the coat sleeve beneath, and the lining, which Is of white satin. A very handsome black toilet is of heavy lusterless silk, cut with a train, and bor dered with a plaited flounce, notched out oyer a flounce of plaited organdy, edged with Valenciennes. Above the silk flounce is a thick soft niching feathered out, and above tiiis a wide flounce of lace, also headed by a ruching. Surmounting this is a narrow flounce of silk, with a muslin flounce beneath, and a niched heading. The foundation basque, with pagoda sleeves, is made ot muslin, boardered with rows of black and white lace, put on full; over this is the silk jacket, bordered with thick niching, the edge of which comes to the top of the lace. A pretty evening costume is composed of a white Llama over-dress, low square boddice and draped skirt, made entirely without ornament, with the exception of thick siik ruches round the neck and sleeves. A wide blue sash with fringed ends complete tills dress, which is charm ing for a young lady who is blonde. A fashionable “breakfast’’ costume con sists of pink silk, made with two skirts, and a basque, with open sleeves. The trimming is thick ruches fringed out upon the edge, and black velvet bows. The boots are silk with black Empress heels, tlie gloves pink embroidered with black. The beautiful light English pink, is the fa vorite shade. -v i.i-luouaoic piumcuuuu costume is oi lino black cashmere, bordered with erirnp cd fringe, over a black silk or gray Irish poplin skirt. The cashmere overskirt is long, and gracefully draped, the jacket cut as a basque, and open with re vers. To tiic silk underskirt of this costume a waist is attached, made of twilled cotton or lin en. Upon this a little silk vest is mount ed, and to this coat-sleeves are attached of .-ilk, which are worn under the open one of cashmere, and, with lace ruffles and a little cravat, complete an elegant toilet. A warm winter-walking dress is com posed ol two skirts and a coat of dark Idue cloth, trimmed with heavy black ga louns stitched on—five rows on the under skirts, four on the upper, three upon the coat, w hich is cut away iroui the front, and forms basque lapels. A close-fitting cotton waist is attached to the underskirt; the basque is lined with tlanuel. A fur-trimmed costume, of dark-blue velvet, consists of a skirt trimmed with three rows of robe and a Polonaise, which forms an upper skirt, and is trimmed with a single row of grebe upon the edge, and one row over the shoulders, forming a pelerine at the back, which fits in close to the figure, leaving the sides to How over the arms and sleeves, something like the Metternieh.—Demo rest. .Dressing with Plainness. 1. !t would lessen tlic burdens of many who find it hard to maintain their place in society. It would lessen tiro force of the temp tations which often lead men to barter honor and honesty for display. ;>. It there was less strife in dress at church, people in moderate eireumstanees would lie more inclined to attend. 4. Universal moderation in dress at church would improve the worship by the remov al of many wandering thoughts. a. It would enable all classes of people to attend church better in unfavorable weather. (>. It would lessen, on the part of the rich, the temptation to vanity. 7. It would lessen, on the part of the poor, the temptation to he envious and malicious. H. It would save valuable time on the Sabbath. It. It would relieve our means from a se rious pressure, and thus enable us to do more for good enterprises.
