suppose you win DO most anxious r
hear something about the Boston fashions
Well,-tlis is the fashion 10 wear greer
edidshes instead Of bcnucts. Every bod,
wears them. Those who wear Leghorns
cause them to .pdown over the shoulders
SO that short person is nearly covered by
them, and looks, for all the world, like 4
lamp under an exiinguisher. These beg.
hornes or gypsies are not hc"eser, very
common.
II has been the fashion lately for ladies'
10 wear eociagies, very similar to what
brother Bill buckles round his horses 10
make them look giant. They are black
leather straps, which buckle very tight
shout the waist should give you more
particular description vi them, only that |
presume you saw M account of the fash
ION in a late Galaxy. Besides they are now
nearly oat of fashion, aud are chiefly worn
by servant girls aud iadiSs Of colour. In
the country, you know, we are taught 10
conceal all the arts by which we improve
our appearance; and instead Of letting the
fellows know how tight we are q, we
endeavor To make them believe IL is only
our natural shape. But here, Oh the con
trary, there appears to be no such delica-
cy and all are willing 10 exhibit their c,r-
cmgtes TO the beaux, TO which they are IN
dehtcd for their slcnd,l waists.
One, and n fashionable accomplishment,
which n now learned by young ladies at
school, is TO play with the cup and ball. -
You will constantly see half a dozen eihs
in Cornhill, on their way 10 or
from school, with each cup and ball,
practising as they 60 through the streets.
There ~ another play, ofthe same species,
called Mc derii upon tuo sticks, which is
played by ladies' ofcvery age; bnt ii is not
SO common as the a,ip and ball. II Is all
the fashion now, also, for young girls to
study Latin a few months; ~ which time
you may be sure they become monstrous
great scholars. When zee went TO school,
you know, it was Indispensable, in order 10
finish our education, that we should learn
TO play tune on the piano forte, and 10
enlbroldcr funeral piece, representing
nlsshapen urn, with something intended
for female figure bending over the urn,
and great weeping willow bending over
both. But now, instead of working EN-.
Drodery, the misses study Latin; and in
stead oflearniug to play on the piano forte,
hey learn TO play The derii and the cup and
ball o my good old grand mother =
on will cry ont, what will this wsrld come
10 nj last ? This is all certain proof, as
our paroon says, Of the awful depra,ily of
lhe age.
