retrospect Of the days Of hoops and wooden

is STYLED an age OF uoudcrs' Who can doubt

grantancs have looked down the vista Of time,
and seen h0ty degenerate the present genera

cried Prohibitate Dill" In those days, health
and activity were the rouge which tinged the
cheek of the young female. They were the vo-
tarics Of Minerva. Even the opulent were not
strangers to the distaff Instead Of sleeping
away the most pleasant part Of life, they rose
with the lark in the morning, and with JOY hail
cd the coming of bright Phmbus. A snow-white
milk pail was the indispensable for the morning
walk; and the hum Of the spinning wheel the
music of the day The wardrobe was simple
and economical, though the introduction Of
wooden heels was thought at first rather extra
VACANT The hoop, the wooden or tin comb,
were once thought superlluous How much
more conducive to health were these simple APP

bone and steel corsets, Of the present day In
those times, the plump, cherry checked damscl
was the BELLE Now, the CHASTITY deathlikc
countenancc, with waist like a wasp, and a
form as fragile as straw, is the ton. In former
days, a lady was educated in plain substan
tial manner: the Bible and Psalm Book com
posed her library; she was instructed in the do
nestle arts Of cookery; and was taught to be
industrious and frugal and, in addition to all
this must not presume to think of marrying till
she could show pillow case filled with stock
ings of her own manufacture. Such were the
daughters of our old grandmothers, and such
were the mothers who nursed that noble and
spirited generation, who taught England that
virtuous magnanmty was not confined to
princely halls or kings courts.
In those days, wives were pTGftaJle-now
they are pretty The milk pail, the distafl, and
the cooking utensils, are exchanged for Wavcr

delicate TO work Instead Of the hum of the
