the mild freshness of the Autumnal evenings, and the Nerve, the
Parade, and the hoarse-resounding Beach, Will Mee be de-
serted for the Opera, the ball-room. or the cheerful domestic
tire-side. The almost universality of half-dress, so convenient
and proper at a watering-place, will, therefore, soon be laid
