' t Modern French "Fashions. -; The folio wins criticisms on French ! ladies is from the pea of a Frenchman : . , r " . . The greater portion of the women of our time have, little by little, lost the sense of true ele-' gance; they have for years past sought, in dress and hair dressing; a stylerhlch should be set off both lace and figure, and most of their efforts have .not resulted wll, the ever changing fashion being so far their friend by soon altering their di-figure, menta. The reasom for this is soon found. The supposed leader of fashion accept the modes from their milliuers rather than, design!- them ;this is ' ur at mistake -A dressmaker by profess.on, rather than education or inspiration,-is not likely to possess that sense : ot beauty and elegance,5 known as."good taste.' whichaprlngs from ajre fined and educated mind. Habit gives expertness and natness of work, but more is requisite ; sen dment, and a certain distinctive; character which; fits the dress to the wearertnese attributes we must not expect to find cultivated by these wbd work as a necessity. , With such imagination and tact have no part This argument fits the tailor, milliner and creRs maker alike vellv as it is ttieir choice which rales the world, and causes the dis-. content which is so often expressed byladles as to the unbecomingness of the garb they are ob-" liged to adopt lest they should ; be - thought j sin gular. , It is not long siuce bonnets were worn so high as to reach beyond ridicute Itself. This style was given up for the sake ot the little faiK cies perched on the top of the head wbiotx dis covered all the graces of the procle and forehead. In this flaere ' was much reason;- and was the thought of a great leader of fashion, woo origina ted the first bonnet of the kind, but this was too pretty f or a ParbUn milliner to see, and, in con j auction with some- Aspasia, not to attem pt to alter and spoil si tnultaneoutly, whereby we now see vizor of a plate shape worn on the forehead instead of the head, aad declining towards the eyes, like the peak of a helmet Can any thing b more inelegant ? What can be said ot a faauion which hides the forehead aud eyes of a wom n, ' leaving h r hair dressed after the manner of that of Madame Cumollard ? No lady ot education or taste could ever so abuse her appearance her sense of the beautiml could neve be so converted.; Alter the dress puffed out with criuoUue, : and made to sweep the street, they - touk- to 'short frocks ; then, rearriBging these, draped them' af ter the manner of wiqdow -or door . curtains. Whence came this, if not from the theater, where the-most part of dressmakers seek i heir inspira tions, as little heed i taken of those actresses who are not greatly dressed ? ? Well, is it from the extravagaces of stage costume a ladv should take example I Shel aud the actresses reign in two separate Kinganis There is no need to con found them, or that the one and the other ehould have her own especial style, ' It is not to be wish ed that the Parisian lady, .so long the arbiter, the queen of fashion, not only for her own but other countries, should retake ner sceptre and old pres tige, and once mote Ioiio,w:the counsels of her own pure taste in preference to that of he dress makers." It is doubtless easier to bt$ guided, but social individuality is lost, of itself the basis. beait ideal of correct costume, by which may be avoided the too trequentresalt of an amalgama tloa of bad taste and absurdity,. Interesting Vital Statistics. The address of Prof. Silas L. Loomis, M. P, delivered at the opening Of ihe Nineteenth An nual course of the Medical t Department George town College on the 15tli ult, juit published, contains eoine int resting statistics in reference to the proportion of males to females in this country and Europe, and the laws of life,1 there and here, as shown by carefully prepared reports on both sides of the .Atlantic, t'rof. Loomis said: .-'.--- -:';;f " 'V .';;, "In England, Scotland, I -eland, Belgium; Nor way, and Sweden, with entire uniformity, the number of males under ten years of age slightly exceeds that the females. At twenty, from the emigration of young men, theuumbcrof fem des becomes a little in excess, and thus ; continue through lite, i. in all these communities; wo man has at 30. 40, and 60, as firm a hold on lite as man. It can hardly be, that anYthing but a gen- eral law of iunaau uavurc siiould preva.il through an thesw widely separated and differing nationa lities ; and hence, any departure which may exist iu our own country, especially in the older and more civllllzed portions, must be. due to c 'uses existing in that immediate vicinity. :' By the cen sus ot I860, there were iij New Eugland and the mate of New York 850,000 girls uuder ten years of ase. ; Hbere, as. in, the Europeau countries na med, the boys are in excess. At tweuty, in con sequence of the migration of young men, the emaies ar lo.uw in excess. At thirty; this pre- poneeranoe has reacned 72,000. Thus far the law of lile appears Identical in the countries named, emigration in th'u country being a little in excess. But at this point the paraded Btops. In'Europe, whatever excess eqist at UO continues and is the 8ameat 0,'at 50, at 60, andto the end Of life. In new xorit ana xnow jsngiana at 40, every one ot those 75,000 women have disappeared, and 2,000 Dcsiues; at oo, ao.ooo m Excess Have follow d them. VVe find that 99,000 females, in everv de cade, pass away in the very prime bi womanli od, that would have lived had they oeen born In either Norway, Sweden, Belgium, England, h Scotland, pr xre.ana. "Gentlemen, these are facts of to-dav. the facts of our cominuuities and of our women, the facts that stare our medical men oroadly in the face. haw ever unwilling t we 'may be to acknowledge their trutbfuluess. ' . ." - f , "Asjain we find bv the census of the State of New York, published tie past year, that in that State, to-night 197000 families sit around deso late hearthstoLe.i where the music ot childish prattle never breaks in upon the tdlent soiituttS. l wenty-ttve per cent of the lauiilies ot that State arechildlebs. ; They nave wivea who never knew the name of mother. There afe also iu that Staie H3.LO0 lami'ies or 19 per cent, vwith onlv one child, and 140,000 families or 19 per. cent. ; with only two children each. In presetce of such facts no Physician can remain longer blameless; silent. Again, it nas oeea apparent tor several 'years,' that in Massachusetts, lamilies were gradually becoming extinct by decay. This is nbc contiiied to one lamily or one locality, but to the enttre State and those adjoiuiug. . Now, in that com munity there is sometliiug radically wro nr. Some of tne great laws of humau existence iare being persistently violated, aua it is especially wit un , the scope of the 'medical profession to plainly and lully expose.theso fatal errors." - .
