A dispatch from London during the height of the society gayeties in that city Bhowed what au astonishing brevity had been reached by the decollete gowns of Eaglisn aud French woman of fashion. The San Francisco Ex amint-r states uow on the authority of Reiifern aud others that the startling fashion w 11 be copied, with the addi? tions, or, more comctly speaking, sub? traction?, in America this winter To combine tbe bodice Iy a fragile str ug of peat Is or a bi: of notion bcros-* tbe shoulders to dispense with th* makeshift sleeve and keep the bedice on by sheer force of cohesion or bt "force of will"?these are the tai-ks set b< f>re fashionable Aniericau womeu if 'hey would follow the examples oi their E u>lish and French sisters. Theor s s, especially if they ne ideal? ist as well, say that tne fine discrimi? nation, the inherent modesty, the keen common sense of the Aineticau women can he depended upon iu a crisis rs :r?vt> as this. "They always do the riijht thing in the end," say the theor Ut-idea liste. "Wait," is the answer of i he practical man, and America's men ?ire wailing for Ibis test of the Ameri? can women of their country. It has ieen noticeable in history that ex tr.Miieiy dtcoilete tiowus for wi me vv-T- contemporaneous with enu of profligacy in tbe courts of E iroi>e. A (i tion is only as pure, only ms tru \ a i - women, aud the modesty of women is indicated as much by their dress a* their speech. Therefore is this a area! ?n.-is in American history. Evening dresses designed for tbi." ?inter are exaggerations ct the styles jfgowiH in evidence throughout tbe grar.d opera stasou iu London thi yenr. L idy Southampton, the picturesque young English woman, whom an a? roiriug british public calls ' Our Juno,'" was photographed at that time in a wnite silk gown of Greek fashion, with i diamond cluster marking tbe lowest point of a very dtcoilete gown, and with fine pliant wires of gold across tbe shoulders, looking like stray gold? en threads upon marble. Lady Gray Egerton, once MifS May Wayne Cuyler, a Baltimore girl, is one of ine extremists in the daring fashion ?>{ the day. Tne Princess Hatzfeld! and the Countess of E-?sex, both American girls, are radical in the matter of abbre viattd cor.-ages. The Princess de Sagan and the Prin? cess Elizabeth Constantino de Russin, j with Counters Castellane, formerl> ! Anna Gould, wear go*vns as meagre as j to corsage as can be found io all Paris "If your arms and neck are ugly it i a sin to reveal them; if tbpy are beau? tiful it is a sin to conceal th* in," said a French wit. Such is the philosophy of tbe gayest ol nations as to the dress of its women. The fame of the house of Worth was built upon a gown that in tbe time of tne Empress Eugenie was considered shocking. It wds fashioned for the beautiful Counters Castiglione, who in the character of Salambo, the high priestess of the Carlhatjenians, wore it ??t a fancy dress ball. It was of striped red and black plush and was fastened over the shoulders by a narrow gold band, the fashion of this day. Though tbe pictures of the famous costume show that tbe line where the red and b ack plusb of the Countess's costume m?jt the dazzling white skin of the fair s loulders was at least three inches tr.gher than the dividing line of to day, yet the ct stnme of the Countess Cas? tiglione was so daring and so be?utful mat it sent the Empress Euuenie home iu a storm of tears. Worth and his Couu'e-s patrou was criticized for im m ?destv, and yet tne Countess Castig? lione would have blushed at sight of or e ol the gowns worn at the grand u[n-ra in L mdou last seasou. A model furnished by Jean Worth for an opt-ra gown is of cream brocaded Shi in, with white net overdress, em b oidered in apple blossom design, and >rt:-u and train of apple green silk. Tne 1) (dice is exceedingly lew, two rows of ducbtvse l?ce meeting the sash girdl ? .m1 defined on tlu sh Hilders by a shine l b n I uf tne si k foim ug the waist.

I hoy m y bo t?n'a liatug ' a ll" of lace. They m?y ue bands"of velvet au inch wide, or rows of pearis half t:iat width, or even silver or gold t reads of hurliko attenuation, but to call those any nothings sleevctf is s weak concession to thu prejudices of our grand in -tbers. Sorna ? f the lata gowns discard any suinb aace or excuse of the sleeve They have a corsage whose uncompromising line ouds beneath tne arm? pits aud is hold on and together I y tbo laws of gravitation, but mocks at such useless ai - cessoties us sloevos. His Life AYms Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a promtneut citizen of Hannibal, Mo , lately bad a wondei ful deliverance from a frightful death. In tellinii of it he says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumouia. My lungs became hard? ened. I was so weak I couldn't even tit up in bed. Nothing helped me.
