We give another extract from this letter.:
There is no civilized nation with more
vanity or natural coquetry than the French;
The ladies would no more think OF wearing
dress, cape or head dress which was not

Presidents last week, you will see every pos,

mode book says she must display her misfor-
tune 10 all The world, by wearing very low
dress, and very short sleeves; neither will d
tall lady dress her hair in pyramid on the
