GENERAL OuszavAtioNs..—l must congratulate nit
fair readers on the dawn of a better taste, as it regards White'
fashions. I observe with pleasure that crimson, •purp.lei,
dark green, and brown, are likely to becoMe the prevailtn%
colours, with borders of black, gold; or ermine ; and 11111
scarlet, that terrible destroyer of feMale beauty, grace, an::
'elegance, is consigned, I hope for ever, ," to the tomb of
the Capulets.
