A singular effect Of the war is already visible in the arrival among t.s of French artists in dress, who sytematize their business as men are accustomed to do whatever they undertake, and who, therefore, bring a readiness, skill and adaptability with which our slipshod methods will and It hard to compete.

Their stock in trade consists of a book of deelgns of morning, walking, visiting and evening costumes. From these any laiv can elect her toilette, or she can have an original one designed for her. which will be entirely different from anything anybody ever had before. The materials are suggested, but can be varied to suit her taste or her pocket. People require a long parse, however, who employ a French artist to design original costume for them.

One of our large bouses has secured a very distinguished member ol the foreign tronpe of male dressmakers, and is making to order genuine court costumes which are to be worn at Republican entertainmentsdurtngthecom-ing winter. No two are alike, and each one is absolutely a work of art. as perfect and as true to lta Idea as a poem or a picture. Of these evening cost nmes In process of construction od was of black velvet, yellow satin and real point lace with garniture of flowers; another of purple silk, black satin, wide point applique aDd ornaments of roses and purple panstes; and the third of white satin, silver lace and tulle, the two sides of the overdress entirely different: one adorned with while water lilies In dark leaves, the other with marabout feathers. The cost of the first mentioned was 1 SHAWL COSTGJf K8 "Bejonla" or shawl costumes were Introduced here last spring and made a certain Impression on account of their originality.

Within a lew week they bave re-appeared and will undoubtedly achieve a brief popularity, as they are simple. Inexpensive and very convenient. The most of those on exhibition are made of plain grey mixed long shawls, which are cut right across, one-half sewing for the skirt which is made np with the fringe as a border, the other tarnishing the material Mr a hair-nttlng Jacket with wide sleeves and basques of unequal lengths to which the fringe Is added. The skirt is closed at the back and laid In large box pleats, it Is open In trontand looped np in three large folds at the sides over any dark skirt, walking length, the shawls forming only a long upper skirt and Jacket. Made complete they cost only twelve to fifteen dollar, and will therefore be a rage with those who like something "cheap and easy" and are not afraid of seeing themselves repealed at every street corner.

Shawls of while aud black check and plaid will doubtless be utilized in this way as the season advances. ODDS ANO ENDS. The times of buff" linen and white muslin which have been worn so largely over black or colored silk skirts, will be repeated In wool tatine. In cashmere and in alpacca over silk, poplin and merino, as soon as the weather becomes sufficiently cool to warrant it. The fashon Is as prevalant abroad as In tbls country, but in Paris the tunics of white muslin are worn over velvet as well as over silk, and lined with colored aarsnet aud bordered with white lace.

Velvet costumes will be distinctively elegant the coming season, and those wfro cannot afford the Lyons artleiewlll be tain to console themselves with silk-faced velveteen. The new cloth and velvet cloaks sim-ilatecoat and waistcoat of an old fashioned style and cat. We talk abont novelties, but in fact everything we get Is a resurrection of some old dry bor.es of the past. High bodies for winter house dresses are cut wi.h a postilion basque, formed by one large box pleat in the lappe at the back. Pointed walsu do not ad vance very rapidly in popular favor.

The principal styles now are cut with a deep point In the back, whtcn springs out over the tournure i us tea I ol laying close to the figure, as formerly. Hooped skirls are a trifle larger, bat have not yet got beyond eighty Inches. New mixtures for water proof cloaks are very pretty. They Include green, blue and Ham-boldt purple. New grey water proof cloaks are very neatly and stylishly trimmed with bands of the same cloth in darker shades, stitched.

It is the fashion now, at rilnner and evening patties, to arrange the flowers In small bouquets, mass them in large, low glass dishes, and at the close of the dinner or snpper distribute them, giving one to each lady preaent. jenwie June.

Remarks were then made on tbe subject by MoNsrs. Harrison and Eaton, after which the resola-tlc nswas put and carried unanimously. A discussion now ensued on tbe subject of Mr. Iean said he would like to see a mutual understanding between the teachers on this vrrv Important subject. The dlirerence of opinion perhaps may he ascribed to the different works now being taught.

The range or gtoitaphy is so great that it Is Impossible to fully master tbe study. A too real preponderance is sometime given to one part of geography to the detriment of tbe other part. Tbe speaker was of the opinion that topical or political geography la superior to physical geography, because the former Is of more practical benefit to the student. He said he was not fylng to Inveigh agalnal the vs. ne of physical geaaxiapby.

The ftct that Chicago Is located where It is. Is more Imnort-ant to ibe pupil tnan to know that th city exports so many thousand bushels of grain poT yesr. Mr. Harrison was the next speaker. He said a knowledge of geography Included a knowledge of the relative poeitlon and distances of piece.

Hy place mean cltlew, towns or batdtatlon of particular tribe or nations, for tbe Ural Idea we obtain or a map la that of a plan of the dwellings of tbe human race. We cornect Itstrlctly with man and with man's history, and here, with litany persons, ends the knowledge of geography. I til knowledge does not touch the earthltaeir.bat only the dwellings or men apon It. Geography should not only teacn the location of placeaor their distances, but also their population, ex-porta and everything that relates to man aa a ao lal being. Tbls was loo much negicid.

Geo. l.u key orrred a resolution that tbe Executive Commltiee lae and are hr'y Instructed to prepare an ad.lreaa to the Hcrtool Directors ol the city, calling atten'lou to the lack of Interest manifested by many or the teachers In the city In their work, and requesting them to fill their places witu those devoted lo public education. Mr. I.uckey then said that It ts an Injustice to eacbera who are earnest and zealous to find that the whole machinery of luatltute devolves npon them. This lack of attention to duty on the part or some teachers had been winked at too long, and tbe lime bad now come when lescher would either be required to at'end lo all the dntle their pMltion d--ntsnded, or give way to ttt'Mte who would.

I rpmraher a lady (by courtesy), the wife of a tailor, who years ago electrified the Saesta at a famons watering place by the num-ler and variety of her dress. Ko much space did they rennlre that she engaged a room expressly tor them, and had the happiness ot being pointed at and written abont by hungry newspaper correspondent as a distinguished personage and leader of aahlon.

Now the simple truth would have been that it was mere effort at vnlg-ar display on the part of a single Individual there was no fash-Jon abont it. Vet the fact was paraded all over the country as an evidence of the general extravagance or women. Good old ladles, who remembered the time when cotton short gowns were good enough for home wear, lifted nptbelr hands In holy horror at the degeneracy of the age, and clergymen wrote sermons with the female Bluebeard skeleton closet as a text. I conld not help being reminded or this circumstance many times daring the past summer. A few vulgar women without social position parade gandy costumes, which are often not half as costly as they seem, and forthwith they are voted and commented upon, and the whole sex is pnt upon trial ror their misdeeds, while a majority or really high-class women pursue the even tenor of their way, dress simply and unostentatiously do their duty conscientiously, without exciting a remark, or obtaining a word of credit.

I thick American women are generally so anxious to do right, that I cannot endnre to have them abused when they don't deserve it; in fact I dont like to have them scolded at all, excepting by myself. Here are three facts in regard to a grand ball at a famous summer resort. The daughter of the wealthiest person In the room was the most simply dressed. The three most tasteful toilettes, worn by a mother and her two daughters, were made entirely by themselves, though the father is rich, oneof the daughters, recently married to a rising young merchant, and all moving in the first circles of metropolitan society. The mother of two remarkably pretty girls, one sixteen years of age, one over eighteen, withstood tne pressure from within and without to let her daughters join the gay throng because they bad never yet been allowed to go to balls, and she wished them to preserve their Ires hn ess and girllshness until at least they had reached the age of twenty years.

80 you see good American wives and mothers (It is they who control these things) are not all dead yet. HO MORE SPIN7SISG wniEL, I hope I shall not be understood, however, as advccatlng a return to primitive plainness and the spinning wheel. The latter is a dead and gone institution; Joy did not go with it; It had Its day, served its nse and departed as every thing mortal must, and there are few so blind to the good of the present or the promise of the future as to wish It back. We do not live in an age of simplicity. Men would not let women dress plainly if they wonld.

Too many Interests are lnvolvej. Women must wear the Jewels from the mine and the silk from the loom, or what will become of the To industry of the world turns directly or indirectly on what we eat or what we wear, and it would be about as easy to empty the Niagara with a tin dippar as to prevent the growta of luxury, woich is born of wealth and our progressive civilization. But women can be of nse. They can fulfill some of the ends their own creation. Even If thev do wear purpleand flue linen, thev can be gcod wives: tbey can teach their daughters how to be uselnl in their torn, bow to adapt modern ideas to different positions and clr-cumiiances, how to employ them.

Instead of beirg enslaved by them; how to be masters instead ol slaves of Aladdin's wonderful lamp, sorrs A5D COSTUMES. There is one great advantage in the present style and that is that all the old dresses that have laid In the bottom of trunks for a hundred years can be utilized. Long, short, narrow, straight, bias, makes no difference, all can be turned to account, and arranged to complete the prettiest toilettes that milliners ever Invented. Th. most costly dresses ever worn were the plain waists, and long.

full, single skirt, which preceded the present fashion of walking dress. Every seam and rent, and bare spot showed to such conspicious advantage that only while a dress was quite could one be perfectly sure that it was eomme il favt. Let It once show signs of wear upon the edges or acquire the dreadfully dragged and mired appearance which a few efforts at pedastrlanlsm gave it, and "alas! poor Yorlck," It was all over.tbe evidence of accidents of wear could neither be cut off nor covered up. Costumes of course are not economical to those who patronize high-priced dressmakers and use always new materials and new trimmings, and there are those who think It so very "low" to do otherwise that one loses caste in their eyes by Bpeaklng of the possibility. Nevertheless, one must take the risk tor the sake of those who like pretty things Just as well as Miss Japonlca.

but have not Miss Js-ponlea's sublime trust in "Papa" and a future neb bnsband to draw upon. A laay remarked the other day that she had fitted out her daughter for boarding school and two triers for summer trips and visits among Her ds, by using upoid things that she had bad in the bouse for years. Now there may be a doubt about the wisdom that permits women tobrvFO much more tnan they can wear out whlie it is fashionably worn; but still thev do it, at unused garments will accumulate so nnti! women bave more sense and can better employ tbelr time, so it Is just as well to furnish them with Ideas by which they can utilize their old clotbes. Il ls bit ol practicality may be the reason wby costumes have to a certain extent superceded suits, and why the suits complete hat, gloves, and other accessories uniform with Ihedrt-st is now the highest form of elepscce; for the latter everything must be perfect and belong to itself it cannot be made out of "pieces It must be new throughout everything; and that exactly suits fashionable dressmakers and Miss Japonlca. THE JSEW A CTUMS COSTPStK.

The novelty of the season Is a costume composed of several different shades of one color. For example. If the foundation material be given it will be trimmed with three different shades, darker or lighter, or both, of this color; if brown, with three different shades of brown, and the hat must correspond in color and shading with the dress. The favorite method of arranging a silk toilette is to trim it in clusters or cachings, or narrow ruffles, which may either be bound, pinked or feathered upon the edge. Purple, green, brown, or gray shades very finely blue not so happily, the dark shades of blue always presenting a repulsive and unattractive aspect.

Poplin, merino and Empress cloth turn with narrow bands of plush in darker shades, or with shaded velvet, wslch has hetn Imported In small quantities, bat will ne scarce because the war renders It difficult to duplicate certain new styles In trim-mlBgs aod fabrics. There Is. however, a very handsome new trinming of American manufacture introduced this fall, which consists of a narrow band of soft moss-like plush. It is all silk and made in all shades of all colors. It la called "Marabout." from its softness and beauty, but it is more like velvet moss.

It Is exceed lngiv effective wten arranged in the different shades of oue color upon a plain surface. CROS GRAIN SILKS AND RIBBONS. The same house (Dexter, Lmoert A Co.) have brought to a degree of perfection, unsurpassed abroad, the beantlful gros grain ribbons for sashes, trimmings and ornaments which for the present bave superceded satin and all other styles. The fashionable widths are six and seven inches for sashes; No. 6 for bows for the hair; No.

12 for bonnet ribbons. The bows for the hair are made with two ends which Ml over the chignon, and are united in the middle with a email flat bow. The gros grain ribbons are very durable. They are made of pure silk, and now that the obstacles bave been removed from the achievement of choice and permanent colors, there is uothing to De wished for in regard to thir beauty or excellence. The maDufsctare of fine fabrics is no new In their con? try and of s-ucti unusual Interest that it is ver important to have a guarantee of their purity and genuineness.

The manufacturers of American silks have just issued such a guarantee. They offer a heavy frrog ffrain silk, warranted pure, for mi per yard, and osert positively its contiaued beauty and durabiiity. The silks are very handsome In appearance, and if they prove as good as bey are said to be. we shall not have to go abroad iu future for our black silks. HIT GOODS, ASD GOODS THAT ARE NOT HEW, lit; soou.

Among the new Importations of the seism must be mentioned "wool ntineS a beautiful material for suits, corresponding to the cotton tatine which was so much admired daring the past summer. Tue fine wool fabric Is, however, much hacdsomer than any material could be In cotton, and will undoubtedly at ence take rank with good poplins and other favci ite materials. Belonging to the family of mohairs, but of a higher giade than any we bave ever seen iu this country. Is tne "Turkish brllllanline," sable brand. It is a rich, heavr, glossy, black fabric, thirty Inches wide, made of the pare wool of Ibe Turkish goat, and quite as band-some as silk.

It will undoubtedly increase the furore for olack soils and dress, which exuis Quite as much in Paris as in New York. Scotch poplins and English sergea reappear, orwill shortly, huge cases of them tiavio been received, and a revival seems likely to take place insll wool black and white checks, wnich are much worn abroad, trimmed with black velvet, and constitute someot the prettiest suits brought over by ladies who have recently returned from Paris. The checks are generally broken. Jepsnese ejlks. wbich we have heretofore seen only In jigh colors, and fine white and black stTipe.

witl bedisplaved this fall for the Oral time in dark an'umi colors, and in mixed Jasper patterns. Tne i rlc.es area little blguer in the brighter, more deemed sha les, but the quality Ik eeid to be better, and the ap-tear-ance, especially in the evening, very effective. in plain silks, tbejrros grain and pure poult de toit lake the lead of all other styies. and exhibit wonderful beauty and variety of color and shading. The latest fabHrue for grand toilettes is rich satin brorsde.

Does not seem at first sight like a peculiarly fortuitous combination. It Is like another hue to the rose, or coals to Newcastle, or any other unnecessary addition to an established fact.
