BRIGHT . ■ . PROSPECTS. “Ail Nature Dies and Lives Again.” DamogNature is fast turning tlie foij iage of the deciduous trees to their Autumnal' tints, and soon they will have assumed their sombre-hued winter appearance. But while plant life seems to be dying and dreary winter at hand, the prospect is made brighter by the anticipation of • the enjoyment to be found in indoor amusements during the long evenings. Hundreds of warmhearted, hospitable hostessc-s are now planning one kind or another of social parties, where both young and old will find enjoyment. It may be an evening, for Parlour Games. A Musical Evening. To the literary inclined an evening with favourite Authors. A Semi-dance Party. In the case of the more wealthy citizens large Balls and Dinner Parties. But whether it be the small parties or the large, human mature is just the same, and we will not be betraying secrets when we say that before another week hundreds of fair ladies, will be posing before the looking-glass, donning, with, becoming deliberation, many of _ the attractive lines we are advertising today for evening wear.
