der green, with the faintest suspicion of crimson
Like beautiful mouth, it Is neither too large nor
too small and like girl passing the sweet printems

this exquisite bonnet although have it faithfully
daguerreotyped in our memory-as, sooth To say
SO we have the face Of the wearer-glides from be-
meath pen point when would describe it,
and eudes our words. However, il will be speedily
reproduced in myriads Of fair resemblances, even
as the first bud when it wakes from its winter
dreams finds itself reflected every swinging
spray. We know not to which Of the many
surprising artists in millinery belongs the glory Of
inventing this indcscribable bonnet-but whoever
she may be- silks and scissors have alone prevented
her from being an acknowledged poet
