./ESTHETIC IMPORTANCE CE DUE'S.
Tho ajsthetic importance of dress,
says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle, is
hardly less apparent than the moral.
As the type of countenance, nay, of
form, varies under the modifying influ-
ence^ of coatunm. n>r«£*oI!in"ti*
enn be at no loss to understand the
supreme beauty of Greek art and the
sensuous perfection it typifies. The
Greeks not only enjoyed an exquisite
atmosphere and lovely Scenery, but
porceived another kind of beauty which
seemed to them more glorious than ail
—tho beauty of the human form. And
having set themselves to reach this,and
having gained it, they gave it their
principal thought, and set it oil with
beautiful dress. Could one of the old
Greek sculptors be transported into a
modern drawing-room, Le would sure-
ly wonder less that we have no better
art than that we should have r.ny at
all. For the truth stares every thought-
ful person in the face. We 'are daily
doing more and more to travesty the
human form ami to set at naught those
very principles of harmony inculcated
by various tcsthetic teachers with so
much vehemence. The modern dress
of both sexes by no means accords with
the simplest laws of beauty, hygiene,
and economic scienco. A:i*d, take it for
aii and all, perhaps the dress of a lady
was seldom more inartistic, unhealthy,
aud extravagant titan at present, and
surely never more vulgarizing.
Consider the fashion of "ear-rings.
Now it is obvious that the reason of wo-
men mutilating their ears is not to be
found in the circumstances among
which we arc living. Tho modern car-
ring of cultivated nations is a rc'ic of
ruder mental aud moral conditions,and
though w# have outlived the barbarism
wo persist in retaining the fashion of
barbarians—a ca«c among many in
which tho result of progress lias been
negative and not pos.t.ve. Again, re-
fard a lady's toilet as mero drapery,
he cyo is tortured by the multiplicity
of angles, lines, and points, and what
with the fragmentary appearance of the
dress one is reminded of the piecemeal
structure of the animals called articu-
late. Harmony of color is regarded as
little as harmony of proportion, aud the
passion for novelty Las induced ex-
treme wastefulness—twenty dresses of
interior atulf are preferred to one of
rich and artistic material, and the
thought and care that might dev'se a
really beautiful costume are expended
upon the manufacture of a hundred as
uniform as they are unbecoming. These !
commonplace dresses being quicsly
worn out, fashion, the mo Jem Sisyphus,
bctriiis its uphill work by inventing a
iu . _ a ••• « •
"..■nuu'u more. Women whose chief
business it is to dress according to fash-
ion are not iikoly to interfere with tho
graver concerns of life; and in a work
of deep and painful interest lately pub-
lished by Dr. Polites, of the University
of Pisa, on the "Physiology of Mind,"
great stress is laid upon the connection
of frivolous pursuits and mental disor-
ders. There is a slightlv greater (lisno-
necks, or .arc veritable jugs, tall and
straight. Still decanters, though every
one buys them with a wine set, can
scarcely be said to be i;i genc-ml use.
since the host, especially if htv-pndes
himself upon his wiaes, prefers tw serve
them from tho original bottles.

- • ° - - I glassware, and a table set with these
J under gaslight is brilliant beyond de-
scription. There is a great fanry^for
variety in tabic ware—thus in a of
iinrrer-bowls there will be one rose one
among men, which is partly accounted
for by the baneful system of female ed-
ucation, engendering as it do.'s puerili-
ty of occupation, paucity of resource,
and a habit of total dependence. The ,
writer looks to the higher education of '
women not only as an element of their
social and intellectual regeneration,but
of physical well being, since a purpose-
less oi" ill-dit\ cted life induces, among
oilier iils thai ilesh is heir to, the most
terrible of all—in-anity. But let wo-
uen begin the process of self-education
oy cultivating the ethics of dress. This
is Lheir empire. Dress, said Hazlitt, is
the great seer, t of address; and young
women who imitate theso-ealied ••fast"
style of Puriiiiau fashion invariably ac-
quire the fast style oi speech and man-
ners also. This is imitated bv the low-
er classes, til! even our domestic ser-
vants are ashamed to weir sober colors
and last year's bonnets. Extravagance
is the rule, moderation the exception,

the coming wall papers.
Plain papers r.re made to exactly re-
semble certain goods, the grain and
color of the material forming t he hang-
ings being exactly copied in the paper.
They are not expensive, except those
imitatii g plain or cisele velvet. Flow-
ered papers are exceedingly handsome,
and when a room is large and the walls
are not plentifully supplied with pict-
ures ami other ornaments, they are use-
ful to relieve the general bareness of
aspect which will bo inevitably the
case with a plain paper. In vestibules
and staircases where plain rough paper
with handsome dado and frieze are not
employed, handsome raised papers arc
substituted, covered with heraldic em-
blems, animals, or otherwise; tho tints
of the backgrounds are subdued, of
iiieiiiavai colorings. If or dining-rooms
leather papers, touched up with metal,
are the most fashionable. Itich dow-
ered papers, imitating the latest Lyons
silks, are reserved for drawing-rooms.
They are superbly colored, and form
very effective panelings in a room
which is aLl painted white and gold.
Some pretty papers are made expressly
for boudoirs, imitating old tapestry.
These are inexpensive, but in excel-
lent taste
are moire papers ot* delicate tints to
represent silks. Serge and lampas pa-
pers arc used for tho same purpose, al-
so cretonne papers covered with ilow-
ers. Gentlemen's dressing-rooms,
which are generally quite simple in
furniture and decoration, are frequent-
ly papered in patterns imitating tiles,
varnished over like the old-fashioned
marble papers that were used upon
staircases.
The frieze is by many at tho pr' scut
day considered an essential division of
the wall and should always be mr ploy-
ed where the room is of a good height.
The design of this frieze sho dd not bo
too prominent nor formal; some of the
best that we have seen have been of a
paper not expressly inte:id"ii for such a
use, covered well over with llower^, not
too large. The object o^ the frieze is to
make a colored band ov rather a tinted
band under the cornice, -tnd to simply
modify the height of the wall. The
latter would be debated rather than
assisted by a fornr.l pattern with larjre
and brilliant figuix-s, for such a frieze
would pull the coiling, ligurativelv
speaking,^ over our ears, aud beside
would kUi the t-il'cet of the main por-

another milky in tint, the unities being .
preserved in the matter of shape. So,
also, the half-dozen wines grouped
around the goblet for water may shou '

the dr.nkcrs oi Schuylkill water, color-
ed goblets for water are coming into
fashion.
SKATING AND WALKING.
Our transatlantic sisters complain
much of the miiv! weather, which rend-
ers their sleighing and skating cos-
tumes useless, and foreign journals re-
port the tailor-made suit as the leading
style for walking dress, and mention
some novelties* brought out therein by
London tailors.
Mixed bright metal braids are used
on wai-teo'its and cuffs of plain cloth
of some distinct shade from that which
composes the gown. Blue and red aro
most deftly combined, or red with rich
dark myrtle-green, and both can-bo
trimmed with equal effect with gold-
woven red mohair braid. A gown of
lino dark navv blue, with rod on tho
skirt, introduced as rovers at the sides,
liau a self-colored .tunic, gracefully
draped, which fell in a square apron
iron!. and closo-folded loops on the back.
The bodice was habit shaped, beauti-
fully cut, aii 1 made with snort coat-
tails behind. The opening was filled
by a plait of red cloth, with red and
gold braid sewn theiv.on. A long, nar-
row wahlcoat (a ;aiii of red cloth) was
»lmo«t as, -44-.lvvi fey she** ro".va- oi
braid, in short "sule-to-side" lines
down its length. A high stand-up col-
lar encircled the throat. The braiding
on this was upright,' and the sleeves
were just stitched at the wrists, form-
ing cull's, with two buttons of horn at
the sides.—I'/iikulclphia I'revs.

Tlie latest Parisian fashion for dress-
For ladies' bedrooms there in£.tllf! l'a"' is to have it cut very short,
as it was worn in the early part of this
century jy Mme. Itecamier and Queen
Hortense. At fashionable reunions in
lJaris the hair is arranged in this way,
sind has bands or wreaths of uatural
Uowers. Bands of diamonds and brace-
lets of precious stones are also placed
flat against the hair. Some ladies
adopt the Sevigno coiffure. This style
is very appropriate with toilets of vel-
ours frappe, brocade, and damask,with
very long trains. Queen Marie Chris-
tine has also arranged a coiffure after
designs of the eighteenth century, and
tho novelty has already met with con-
siderable success. The hair is divided
into three parts. The first forms small
curls over the forehead; the second is
roiled back, and the third forms a tuft
in tho shape of a crown. The hair i9
sometimes t iken back oil' tlie forehead.
Curls are again worn in the back of the
neck, but only with low-necked dresses.
Many young Parisian ladies powder
their hair.
