The French Fashions. --A letter from Paris says: Two things strike one as particularly novel in ladies' costumes at Trouville; first, the very pretty chamois colored leather boots, coming half way up the leg and either buttoned or laced at the side, the tops being ornamented with a silk cord and two small tassels; and, secondly, the cannes, or, in plain English, walking sticks, sported by the most elegant of the votaries of fashion. These canes are simply wooden sticks, more or less carved and ornamented, with flat gilt tops, and finished off, like the boots, with a cord and tassel. It is to be hoped that these novelties in female attire will not be admitted in town; they are all very well to climb rocks with, or to walk in the deep soft sand, so tiring to the feet, but they would be quite absurd in the streets or in the parks. This is, however, no reason why they should be condemned by fashion, since wisdom is so rarely consulted in her decisions.
