r , the gay world. - I Fathtoni for February. From Le Follet. Tbe weather has been so very peculiar and unreasonable daring the last month tbat our leading modistes have really been quite at a loss how best to accommodate the toilets in course of preparation with tbe exigencies created by the continual •variations of temperature. The Parisian ladies, who are generally blessed with the talent of management as well as the gift of taste, wear tbe fare and warm materi als already in their possession, bat wisely decline to add to their stock by purchase. Silk is rarely seen out of doors just now. Velvet, velveteen, different kinds of cloth, (and such materials as reps and poplin are iudnitely preferred to it. The silken fab rics, such as satin, moire, and the mani- Idd varieties of silks, taffetas, ponlt de sole, faille, grosgrain, cashemire silk, and !rap de Lyon, whether plain, brocaded or striped, are reserved for Indoor and even ing wear. For walking toilets the colors u ro all decidedly of a sombre hue, or of black relieved with color. No style is more “grand genre” .than the velvet pet tiest, with cloth polonaise. These cloth polonaises, tunica, or overdresses, are very well worn under skirts of a different Cbade of color ; but for once there “is a rj’e without an exception,” viz: that ijip upper portion must always be tbe> lighter. The tunics of walking-dresses are very long, and generally much raised, with hanging drapery. The large portion of the underskirt thus shown necessitates the trimming, if there is any, being car ried a gootflieight. For outdoor or carriage toilets no trim ming is.in such fashionable favor as hand some passementerie, combined with cords and tassels. These latter, arranged en Brandenbourg on the skirt and bodice, Lave a cachet of novelty and elegance that no other ornament, whatever it costs, can equal. If the passementerie is black it is almolt always mired with jet; in fact, this old favorite is of great use just i\ow to lighten the effect of toilets, and trim mings that without it would appear 100 hf-avy. Moire ribbons are also much wore as trimmings to outdoor dresses, have a very elegant and lustrious ef le i on cloth or velvet. The bands of i ,r or curled feather are still worn, but are not so new as the ornaments men i jned above, curled feathers especially i»eing in much greater favor for indoor wear. Buttons of all kinds are very much w.iru, and some of th£ most fashionable (.•3 Its in silver, or silver and enamel, of t:.q-.isite taste and artistic workmanship i.rr really perfect; but, on account of iL« bt s one qualities, very expensive. ag skirls are sometimes made with oiiil in one ; this is arranged by cut- Mg riie two centre back breadths about i.l'.: d yard longer than is necessary ; thfc < x:ra length is then plaited to the sid* much worn by young single or mar * ladies, but it is a less habille style ltj &n the basques with long sashes or tied under the pouff or raising the tcn, c- These sashes are so certain to turn 'Wrong side out every now and then that '■ ;s Positively necessary that they should *’ fc lined with silk. It was to obviate this Uiat the reversible silk ribbons we have t'ffure mentioned were introduced. Fringes, with fancy headings, or sur counted by passementerie, are very fash ‘' D&bly worn for silk dresses. The new- CKI, fflnst elaborate, and unfortunately the expensive trimming of the day is raised embroidery in colored silks. 1 11 ' effect is most elegant, and is produc fcl - it a much more useful manner than when the embroideiy was on the dress Itself, as it can now be purchased by the yard, or in isolated as a gar land or bouquet. A black velvet dress thus ornamented has a magnificent ap pearance. The most charming and becoming fichus of muslin and lace, or Chine crape, are worn with indoor or, evening dress. These little elegancies, accompanied by coiffures to match, give a wonderful finish ' to the toilet, at a comparatively small ex penle. The tulle and tarla tan dresses fur ball-room wear are trimmed with a multi plicity of narrow fluunces, just eat oat at the edge, bat never hemmed, as this de tracts from their One very fa vorite style of dress in either of these mate rials is the whole skirt flounced to the waist. Over,this is a very long skirt, cut in large scallops, edged with a ruch£, and rows niching above, following the same lines. This skirt is raised very high at each side by chatelaines of flowers.- There is but slight difference in the ferny or ornaments (If either mantles or bon bets. It is too late in the season for any very decided change to take place. Both bonnets and hats are still worn rather back on the head especially the former, and uf intended for at all dressy occasions are lied at tbe back under tbe hair. Tbe m miles are much trimmed with cords and tassels en fourragere / tbat is, with cords banging loosely on tbe breast, and fastened on the shoulder by ornaments and tassels. On some pf the tigbtfitting out-door coverings, such as' polonaises and casaques, these fourrageret are sometimes fastened on one shoulder only, and carried fronr thence to the waist on the opposite side, where they serve to raise the tunic. This style is very but should be confined to carriage wear, as it is rather eccentric. Isaac O. Barnes on Horseback. The stories of the wit of the late Co). Isaac O. Barnes are numerous, but to be fully appreciated, need the Colonel’s peculiar voice and dry manner, familiar to those who used to him. The following anecdote we jlp not remember to have ever seen in print. The Colonel, it seems, had been recom mended to take horseback exercise for the benefit of his health, by his physician, and accordingly applied at a well-known stable for the animal. *T want a regular trotting horse, to ride foV my health this afternoon." "Certainly, Colonel," said the proprie tor, and, judging from the customer’s physique and "a horse to ride for health,” gave him one of the hardest trotting horses in his establishment, upon which Barnes mounted and lumped off towards the country. In about three hours he returned, cov ered with dust and perspiration, and with the assistance of one of the hostlers, slowly and painfully descended from his steed. Limping into the stable office, and holding on the lower part of his back with one band, he looked into the stable keeper's inquiring face and ejaculated simply,— “How much “Three dollars. Colonel,’’ was the reply. die slowly drew his wallet,and laid down the required sum. “Shall you want the horse again to morrow, Colonel?" "No ; I shan’t want him to morrow." “Perhaps the day after to-morrow?” “No ; I shan’t want him any more at all." “Indeed,” said the stable keeper, with a sly twinkle in hisseye, as he noted Barnes bolding on his lacerated body. “Perhaps the horsje don’t suit you." “Oh, yes,” said Bafnes, quickly, "there’s nothing the matter with the horse; he’s all right. It’s the price I object to." “Price !” said the shiblekeeper, "why, I only charged you three dollars, Colonel, which we consider cheap for the horse’s services all the afternoon.” “Well, I don’t," squealed Barnes, rub bing his aching body, “for whenever I want anything'of this kind again, I know an Irishman who will kick me behind day for half the money.” An Unfortunate Result. It is interesting to know that the Chi* nese arbiter of the fate of millions the Enperbr, who, at' the age of fifteen has just been married, never saw either of his brides bef-re the day of marriage. He fancied he saw one—and she was hump backed —in a dream. By some strange chance a girl so afflicted—but otherwise of transcendent loveliness —was among the seven hundred girls from which bts Majesty's brides were selected. The Em presses whose duty it was to make the se lection knew of his Majesty’s dream, and fixed on this girl for one of bis wives; but the poor creature was .killed by the Court surgeons who undertook, by some heroic process to cure her deformity. It is said the young man takes the sad of fice most seriously at heart. A Relle of a Lost Race. # Mr. E. M. Thornsbury, from Bayou Sara, Wilkerson county, Mississippi, while stopping at the Willard Hotel, yesterday, says the Louisville Courier-Journal of Wednesday, exhibited a tooth of enorm ous size, evidently from the mouth of some extinct monster. The tooth was nine inches in length and five and a half in breadth at the base, the mots being also nine inches long, making the aggregate length eighteen inches, the whole weigh ing tea ana a half pounds. Mr. Tborns bury said he found the wonderful tooth In the above named creek. THE RADICAL: EifIDAY, 2B. t 873. ft *, * |*ew H. FRANCISCOS & CO., 5 1 3 M AR K E T STREET, PHILADELPHIA .
