THE DRESS of 1700.
[Br Andrew Merry, Esquire.]
WHAT modesty now marked out Fair !
They did not leave their bosoms bare,
Creating Passion ! ?:
But hiding almost all the Ikin,
They wore large Gaps tied under the Chin :
Ah! sweet old Fashion !
And the rough Handkerchiefs did so pin,
That no part of the Breast lay open.—
The titled Lady, neat and prim,
Exhibited a person slim,
With waist so nice and taper ;
How neatly fix'd was every Pin ;
So tightly lac'd, she look'd as thin
As was her own Thread paper,
And then by a large Hoop's assistance
Sue kept the Fopling at a distance.
The Macaroni, like a Lord,
Walk'd with full bottom'd wig and sword,
And Csavat as was rflade then
Along square coat with a large cuff,
For Tailors put in cloth enough.
A Sign that they were Paid then !
With fierce cock Hat they look'd like Men,
And wore two costly Rings;
At sirs l large Buckles, small ones then.
But never thought of Strings.

Clean linen, & cotton & linen Rags
at this Office.
If the ladies would fyfpend a bag behind the
door, and instead of sweeping their Rags into thel
fire, as is frequently the cullom,put them into the
bag, they will find it more to their advantage, than
the offenfive finell of burning Rags.—Dr. Frank
lin used to fay, that a penny laved was two pence
earned ; indeed, he said many good things :—He
often told his female friends, that “ a dilligent &
frugal woman always had a large fhift"— That
"if you would be wealthy, think of laving as
well as getting"—And that
“ Many estates are spent in the getting,
Since women for tea forfook spinning and knitting,
And men for their punch forfook hewing and fpiitting."
So, without delay prepare you bags,
And take some care ta save your kAO9,
