The first snow has fallen, and is already gone; but it lasted long enough to make us feel that winter is fairly inaugurated; and we turn with renewed interest to the record of winter fashions. It is difficult to say with certainty what will be the most prevailing article for out-door wear, in tho way of outer covering. The short sacque, in every variety of heavy goods, is still worn, and always greatly admired. The heavy, rich, furry goods is by far the most popular material; and in white, gray, luir and mixed colors, it is so handsome that nothing has yet been discovered suffi? ciently beautiful to supersede it, and, of course, no modiste nor no fashion leader is willing to go bark on her last favorite, and wear something that does not equal it in beauty. In Paris the favorite material for these short sacques is the skin of a species of snjjdl sea-calf-and to be found in Canada-which is taken from the hapless animal, as soon after it comes into the world as it i? possible to procure it. This skin is prepared with exceeding care, and residts in a most beautifi? fur, short, silky and strong-popularly known as otter skin, from its resemblance to that little water-loving beast's coat, but in reality in no way connected with the otter. Trimmed with large buttons of every style and color to suit the wearer's fancy, this seal-calf's skin malees one of the most stylish, fash? ionable and dashing little coats which any lady eau wear. It is strange that the Parisians should have it first, as, if it really comes from Canada, it is so much easier to bo obtained by our? selves; but the? French are always ahead of everybody in fashions, and this is no exception to the rule. Now that the sea-calf, and the uses to which its pretty, furry coat can be put, have been discovered, no doubt some enterprising New Yorker will come out with Canadian sea-calf coats for ladies, before the season is at an end; indeed, we hope so, for the artiele is exceedingly rich and be? coming. * Short black velvet jackets, trimmed with straps of colored velvet, and large false pockets in front, are worn by growing girls, who are young enough to sport hats in preference to bonnets. They are too fanciful and conspicuous for any save girls from ten to fifteen-always a very difficult age to dress advantageously. What will be the shape of the win? ter bodice ? is the question, with re? gard to dresses, which is just now agitating the bosoms alike of dress? makers and dress-wearers ; and after that, the not less important query, What will be the style of sleeves worn this season ? To answer the first question, the latest adviees from Paris inform us that, without exception, every bodice thai is made will be worn willi a waist band. The bodice may be made basquine-shape, but must have a belt at the waist ; it may be made round, or simply a "French waist,*' which renders a belt imperative ; or it may be made en Gabrielle, and worn with j a waist band. For evening wear, terry-velvet dresses, striped with gold, are to bc j fashionable this winter : they are | marvelously rieh materials, and the most effective are the pink ones ! striped with gold. A .short time since, at a marriage celebrated in the Paris- ; ian Court circle, the dress worn by i the bride on the evening of her wed- ! ding day was blue terry-velvet, with j narrow silver stripes. No trimming is necessary for such a material ; the . bodice was the Marie de Medici form, j with revers of white blonde embro- ; idered with silver ; the youthful bride wore with this dress magnificent family diamonds, mounted in silver. For paletots, which, arc to be worn when a dressy toilette is required, a uew sort of plush, called sable d'or, is Likely to be very popular. It is well named, because the ground-work of this material appears to bc golden sand. In both violet and maroon it is very effective. It is likewise used for bonnets, as are also the terry-vel vets striped with gold, alluded to above. Sleeves will be worn, plain coat, tight coat and slashed, with little trimming. In bonnets something very new I and beautiful has been introduced ; j the shape is called thc Margaret of I Navarre, and consists of a small flat j crown, with a narrow curtain, and, i in front, a small point, turning back a la Marie Stuart, and forming a sort of combination of thc Empire and Queen of Scots bonnets. These bon? nets have not yet become fashionable, being, ^.indeed, only recently intro- j duced, anti are generally made to j order. We cannot recommend our j readers to any one more certain to i suit them than Madame Kallings, Canal street. The material is gene? rally a light gray felt, with a long gray feather,' which completely en- ' circles the crown and falls down upon the shoulder. At the side a small j blue wing of any pretty bird is used to fasten down the plume, and the strings are of velvet ribbon, the same j color as the wing.-New York Hews.
