PARIS PASIIIONS.
When it was the fashion, as in last winter, that s Lady
shhold bare scarcely any clothes, when the violet-colon' of
her person indicated that she was almost frgsea, you could
nut prevail on her to confess that she felt cold. Now that
fashion requires a winner should appear small in the
wsist,-211 our eleganles are so closely bound up, first by
a corjet a la Dlaan, and then by a robe, the body of
which comes up to the neck that some tweothe with diffi-
culty, several dare not eat, sod misers do not know how to
more from fear of areideit. Well! have the misfortune to
say that they are too much confined by their dress, and
you will have cause to roe your revenge. Last Thursday
Madame do L was in a pout with her husband, at the
Tuileries, foe not less than two homy, and he deserved it
well. " My Dear, I am not displeased with the fashion,
nor your meatus maker; your robe is charming; loot you
safer from it ; it coolie's you too much."—" Always
sliest, M. de L—; you would hove it believed that my
want is clumsy; I am not confined—quite the contrary;
it in your fancy. I appeal to Monsieur here," addiessing
bererlf to me. I felt embarrossed, when, to convince me,
Madams de L—, by what miracle' know not, coutrived
to pass her fats between her waist and hea cesius, where I
thought it would have been impossible to introduce s yard.
M. dr I.— was evidently wioug; there was no resisting
so cisarineings proof.
