Conversion Is carried on in a low voice trom eta l to stall, and too bouse looki much like a drawing-room, in which the title ot Franco and the eltte of b ire shoulders lite rally iiliUer under tbe elite ot JoweiS and diamond. Ihere la a slight bunh when tho l'rinoesol the family and other distinguished aobloa appear in tho i-m- bey weai bine coats, tilt button, abort Jeeeinw, ilk stocking, and bucklod shoes. When t hoy are Mated a treat silence ensues, whioh la not broaon ntl an official announce I EmP,,r'1ur' . .

When they are seated the curiam la drawn up and tbe performance begins. I mut not forget lo say that two very ciand lord of tha land hare to stand bohind tbe Emperor ami Itaprets from tho beg nninir of the eutortaiumont to tbe end, when, I dare say, they wish it woro In the power ol Bleat lords to chango lers. Ibe audience nt-ver applaoas beiore tbe Emnror has given tbe signal. Between tbe acts tne Empro retires to a small drawlns-rooro, whi ioos, sher teto, and reirehuients aie carried round iu a'l tho At the end of the play a chamberlain Is usually arnt by the Emperor to oungiatoiate the acton, and mank them lor tbe pleasure adbrded. On spscinl nrcasiona tluv aie invited up to tho imperla' box, which happened on the night ot the Verre d'Eau, Madeleine Drolian was particularly distinguished gDd hlehly complimenieil. On this evening the Emrress wore a white Lyons ilk, with brocade floweis. A black velvet ribbon nodded with diamonds encircled her neck, aud hr bair was dressed a V Empire. Another drees 1 must dosciiba. It was a maize silk under train, covered with double tulle skirts, at the bottom of which a plisse fluuuoe of the samo lull, on tie right side fell a shower ot shadod pink roses in perlcct straggling branches, and over the wbolea white tulle tuuic, dotted over with gold rain. Ibe tflvct ot tbU toilet was ouzzlinsr. it looked as 11 it bad been caught from tin clouts, while a paeg'ng t irit, who had has lly cut tho flowers from a bush, Hung, them at random anions tho airy loids. ibe bcad-drcsse were principally ompo'cd of a diadem oi satin leaves, situ goiii libres; gold 11 groo loavea were a so mixed with autumnal tinted ioliage. 'I he oak and tbe vine aro tho favorite shaped leaves. Whit pearls are benutinilly strung, and aro worn with a small wulto ostrich feather on the left side. Ibese pearl strings aro in ail colors; some ar bronxed, others look like stoel, are wound lrom tbe cbignon ruuud the nock in aoublo rows, and lorn other graoclul loops all over the bead bosldei. i.taves are also mixed in these long chaole a. J he very newest shades lor court robes are tho pistachio green and tho deep China piuk. Tbess color are lovely ol an evetnnt;, tho former in siilc reps looks liko one sheet of glittering ocean when the sun shines ujion it, refloating the loam or sea green. Not one of our court ladies has yet worn one of these robes, for the shades have but just come out; several have been ordered both for next week's fes tivities at Compiegue, aud for loreign oouits. If we tuia our gaze from these marvellous evening novel ties, and look at tbe demi-toiletto department, we iludBnk skirls and corslet bodies ovor low white chemisettes. Alurnoon dresses and vclvoleeus aud poplins, both bordered with s'lk coid, whetiier ronnd Vandykes, points, or festoons. Oue point there is which 1 must insist on, and that is that the best dressmakers are beginning to introduce gather on skirt behind the waistbands of their robes, while the iront and tides teuiain pertect y plain. 1 his is done with a view to leavo room for tnuriiure, which I prognosticated in my last. This must not be blindly followed, as there are many who insist ou wide 11 it plar a behind, and as many agaiu who abolish them entirely, but 1 vote lor the gatuors, having compared the eltect oi the three stylos at the last Coino cgue ftte, and J humb y oec'are that a train rojo die4 'not look weil without tbe additional tvurnure tbe JYincess cut excepted, ol course.
