the Emperor diversifying bis amusement by causing an ice-chair to be brought to him from time to time, and inviting the L.dies he happened to know, and a few particularly pretty ones whom he did not know, to seat themselves in it, and then pushing them vigorously over the ice It is needless to say that the fair dames thus honored are all in a flutter of gratified vanity that threatens to be some time in subsiding.The constantly recurring Court mournings, ne-cessitatéd by tbe late unusual mortality among royal and princely heads, has somewhat interfered with the usual course of entertainments given at this season at the Tuileries.The first, of the Court balls came off two nights ago, the mourning for the regretted Prince Consort having just expired.Yesterday began a new mourning for tbe brother of the King of Portugal.The dulness thus occasioned at Court exercises a depressing influence on the doings of the gay world.The commercial stagnation so general in France, aud the anxitty caused by the Anglo-American difficulty, now so happily relieve:!, have also tended to render the pres nt season less'bril-liant than usual.The costly private theatricals, which have been the rage here for two years past, are quite ignored this winter.They demanded too great aa outlay both of money and of time to remain in favor, when \u201ceconomy\u201d is, professedly, at least, \u201cthe order of the day, ' and when the minds of the masculine portion of the community are so much occupied with more serious topics.Dinner parties.are just row the form of dissipation especially in vogue, and this forni of hospitality, hitherto scarpgly naturalized in France, bids fair to be developed here with all the tasteful brilliance which our neighbors generally contrive to infuse into their amusements.But whatever may be the current of the time in Governmental matters, \u201ceconomy\u201d can scarcely be held to be the aim of the fairer half of Parisian society, whose demands, in the serious region of the toilette are very far from promising any abatement THE in the amount of the terriole \u201c quarterly bills\u201d thqt have beep so steadily on the increase fuf s mie years past.The capricious fiat of fashion has utterly proscribed the flounoes which were so generally in favour all through the autumn of the year just end, d ; has brought the fronts of bonnets quite up over the forehead : has strengthened the admiration of all womanhood for the Balmorals and other gay petticoats so convenient at this season ; and is rapidly getting up a mania for flowered silks and Irish guipures.So much for the general features of the \u201c change\u201d that has come over \u201c the spirit of the dreams\u201d of Parisian mantuamakers and\u2018their lady-vassals.\u2018 Of walking-dress little can be said during winter ; cloaks and mantles, furs, and bonnets, being more conspicuous than dresses at this un-propitibus season.For bonnets, the favourite qiatqrial || velvet, of lilack, Bompadour green,
