THE - Rims FASHIONS. —" It is a little singu
lar that the only articles imported from France
which have not risen in proportion to the rise
in gold, or the depreciation of paper money,
are cloaks, mantillas and, bonnets. These in
dispensable articles of ladies' wear, although
made of MA& 'and more costly material than
ever, coat but atrifle more than they did three
years ago, so that there is no .excuse on the
score of economy for any lady to wear an un
fashionable bonnet, or a worn-out sack or
mantilla."—Ladies' Gazette of Fashion.
In Paris lives the devil, the Frenchmen say,
Hence there the devil often is to pay;
He originates all fashions in the twinkling of
an eye, •
And puts lip bonnets to a fabulous "high."
But this is one of the ills that husbands must
bear,
In pity for those who have "nothing to'wear."
But, reader, let me ask you, good lack,
Do you fancy an ancient bonnet or sack?
Can you. complacently look upon Fashion's
outraged laws,
Without any - just or unreasonable cause ?
Or can you abide anything of - slatternly wear,
By those.who have plenty, and money to spare?
Never! Hence America the gauntlet of fashion
has hurled.
At London, at Paris, and the whole fashiona
ble world!
Go look in at Mrs. Mayer's, No. 13zMarket

And feast your eyes on a fancifetreat—
For it is there that Fashion holds her regal
sway,
Where much can be bought with but little to

And hats from ‘,,sevehtyrfLyne to Ave" may be

Decorated with feathers, ribbons and flowers,
To remind one of rural groves and shady
bowers.
Fine silk mantillas at the little figure "four,"
Cloaks and Circulars, seven dollars to nearly
two score.
Gore and trail skirts at'any price you choose,
And ribbons which.rival the rainbow's hues.
All intermediate shades, from mourning black
to bridal whites, ' .
Which knock all other stores higher than so
many kites.
Head dresses ruches, ornaments, nets and lace,
To give , to the contour an elegant and finished
