The French have been called a polite people, It
was formerly said, that down to the lacquey behind
the coach, or even the cleaner of your boots, there
was & dc‘lowy and politeness, which, if insincere,

The French ladics are said 1o have preserved thaie

but from re port ; but they certainly have retained
their love and taste for dress, which is a presumtive
proof of the other. No people change theis dress eo of
