THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 13, 1877.

YORK FASHIONS.
OUTDOOR GARMENT8 *
Whatever! else,you iifay seefitto’
do, have nowiing-* to do imli a short
cloak. Neither let your cloak be.of
plain material, unless, per chance,
that material be silk. Yet, even
litrte,, I would aripwer the choice of
silk devised' . in mosaic patterns, for
dMirt fakttt yr‘Ace against plain 1
materials of every kind, unless as an
offset to sucsh nj d'isplay boijrette or
mosaic characteristics. Even plain
velvet, although the most tro'y re-,
spectable thing possible, is at a dis-
thr^glfJ^^a^lRdry tuftings, kid
oth-rs are mottled in keeping with
bourette goods. As to shapes,.in the
selection of sometliiug to grumble
about, do not let us choose these.
They are all that we can'ask, and
wi.th circulars, dolmans and mantillas
on the one side, and sacqueson the
other, one must he a very Mrs.
Gjnmmidge, if one does not find
something to suit. But, in my judg
ment, the style whit* will prevail Is
tlit: derailong, half-fitting 6aeques.
In this shape, the “Felicia” and
“ Amelia” are handsome designs,
adapted either to material en suite
with the costume, or to independent
garments of any kind of goods.

In furs,tfi<T]tlS|eriif^ ia the newest
thing—a cape reaching to the shoul
ders, and having long ends in front,
narrowed down and finished by three
fnr tassels on either side. Mufl’s are
quite small mid finished with .tassels
of fur, these being in greater favor
in the way of ornamentation than
anything etye. AH things considered,
seal skin is perhaps the most desirable
of furs, as it is dressy enough to he
worn with a handsome costume, yet
may suitably accompany a plain oul-
fi^ while it is plso regarded ns appro
priate for 'mourning. * Seal skin
sacques retain prestige, but dolmans
of seal skin have been more recently
int roduced. Silk saeques ar.d circu
lar lined with fur are worn, hut we
do not rush after tljeni as we did two
years ago. Lynx and black martin
rank next to seal skin. Chinchilla
is a beautiful fur and very fashion-

r.nd other jets illumine dirk toilets
-wow*-by middle aged ladie*, but on
light-colored toilets, they are i:o*
much used, as the effect would not
be good. In the evening toilet espe
cially is foimd the opportunit y for a
pretty slocking, and the art of show
ing. it coaqettisUyy "xte serves serious
study. The ornamentation is all on
thuiuste|t, ftud the choice iles between
heads, embroidery, and open work.

The Northern newspaper contain
accounts to the effect that the dis-
States of Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts aud Connecticut and
through the St. Lawrence Valley,
\yere severely shaken by an earth
quake on the morning of the 4th inst.
The New York Herald terms the
project to resurrect “the dollar of
our daddies” and make it a full legal
tender for the discharge of all private
debts and a medium for paying prin
cipal and interest of the national
bonds, “the silver swindle.” Of
course, the Herald is expected so to
speak, for it is published in the land
of the “blooded bondholders.”
able, but although prices are not ex-
ttavagant, it becomes expensive, be
cause it is not durable. As to sables
of fine quality, black and silver fox,
I can only express my admiration of
the woman who wears them. If she
is not very happy, she ought |?o he,
for she has the satisfaction of know
ing that she causes lrgmy pangs of
unhappiness to other women who
survey her with envious eyes. Mink
is as thoroughly resj*eetahle as velvet,
hut fashionables pass the one as the
other, “on the other side.”
NEW DESIGNS, GI OVES, LINGERIE.
The “ Victoria” dress is cut in
princess style, with drapery across
the .^Vont; Up? Royal Princess dress
shows a peculiarly graceful arrange
ment of scarf drapery; the Adrienne
basque is a stylish modification of the
Breton ba«que, ami may he worn
with the Vau Zundt overskirt which
has a long apron draped across the
front, and is laid at the hack in a
deep box plait fastened by a sash.
The new gloves heavily stitched or
embroidered on the back of the hand,
divide favor with the self-stitched in
tne same delicate styles hitherto seen.
In color, the medium shade- are most
worn, but i^viqvabid aud even hand
some gloves are in dark hues; while
for dress occasions, we find all man
ner of pale tints, to say nothing of
white. For evening or full dress, the
Harris Prevost side-cut glove is pre
ferred, as it is extremely elegant and
stylish. The Harris Seamless is also
tcry durable and perfect in fit; while
somewhat moro moderate in price,
the Victoria and 'Horma Maria arc
much esteemed by judicious pur
chasers. We hear much talk about
“new collars,” but the facts are that
there is really no “ new departure”
in this line, and the upright linen
collarends rolled oVer, (the
most' maecnlin<rTliiii^''j)6s'slhle,) con
tinues to be Jkedtli.auanything
else. A chsfigo is afforded, )>y all
manner of la«i mid lisse
ruchings; these last being intensely
feminine. ■
, EVENING jrOJJ^IB.
I will- not be corhmon place enough
to write that evening toilets are beau
tiful. That is a matter of course.
But there are 6ome characteristics
peculiar to the present season, and of
these we will do well to take note.
Prominent here we find close, straight
falling drapery, often without any
looping, and heavy materials are
therefore employed to the disadvan
tage of diaphanous fabrics. The lat
ter, of coarse, can never be discarded,
but this.; winter they are but little
Hied in comparison with the former.
Satin, velvet, and thick silk, plain
woven, are combined with materials
of like character wrought in oriental,
bourette, and mosaic designs. Su
perbly rich fringes are the favorite
finish, In, not to the exclusion of
bands and box plaitings. A low cor
sage is the exception since the greater
number show sleeves- to the elbow
with heart-shaped or Pompadonr
The New York Herald lias this
to say: A singular report come from
Washington that, certain republican
Senators, in their* anxiety to defeat
Mr. Hayes’ nominations, are intrigu
ing with democratic Senators with
the object of getting enough of these
to joill them to assure the success of
this plot.
It is an open secret in political circles
that such a scheme was tried last
March to defeat the new President’s
Cabinet nominations. It failed then.
Will it fail again? We should sup
pose so were it not for a rumor, which
onfe of our Washington con-esporo
dents reports, that Messrs. Spofford
and Eustis, the democratic Senators
from Lgpisinna, now asking for the
seats to which they are undoubtedly
entitled, have been made to under
stand that they cau he seated tit once
by the action and votes of republican
Senators opposed to the President if
thf*y can bring enough democratic
votes over to these to defeat the
President’s nominations.
Such a rumor as the above should
induce the Democracy to keep close
watch upon the Senate, and if any
secret negotiations of the kind are
going on, it should at once be exposed
that the people may know who is and
who is not true to their interest, and
in future govern themselves accord-
i lgly.
