THE DRESS THAT IS COMING.

tsHer orange silk full Turkish trowsers furled
Above the prettiest ankle in the world.'
Boldly done, Messrs. Editors! The ladies'
and, feel confident, the gentlemen-will thank
you for coming right out, pop, in favor Of the
new fashion, which we of Washington have
only seen in imagination. The authorities you
quote are good, and will give you another
from great and modest writer. Shenstone
tells us, g 1t is point out of doubt with me,
that the ladies are most properly the judges of
the mems dress, and the men of that of the la
dies u But Tom Brown, who is not good au-
thority, says, "The greatest part of the ladies
lose themselves very advantageously under their
dress. How many Indifferent faces pass well
enough with jewels and diamonds, and conquer
hearts by candle-light, that would make sorry
figure without them. Every alteration that
happens to perfect beauty would certainly be
for the worse" Doctors differ; and 1 am
almost tempted to osmove that, in this day of
committees, a n,iIed one be appointed to.meet
in some hall of the muses., and, after a full ex-
| animation of the subject, under the authority
of Shenstone, settle the matter.
Now, Messrs. Editors, have question to
| ask Did you not indite that encouraging arti-
Gle at the suggestion Of some fair Haidee, who
had taken you behind the scenes and convinced
you that her beauty only waited some kind en-
couragement, #
"All bashfully to struggle into light
All have l caught you? Well, 60 back-and
kissing the lovely creature, tell her to come
on; not to keep walking and fixing too long
before that looking-glass !; that no mariner
ever watched the coming of the modest moon
from the blue sea with more palpitating anxiety
than do |, as the representative of hundreds,
watch for the Turkish trowsers," and if, when
they appear, even an approximation is made to
the following description, Hymen's altar win be
crowded with worshppers:,
s0f all the dresses, / select Hadee's: 4 .
She wore two jelicks-one Of pale yellow;
OF azure, pink and white, was her chemise,
Meath which her breast heaved like little bIllow
With buttons formed of pearls as large as peas;
All gold and crimson shone her jclick's fellow
And the striped white gauze baracan that bound her.
Like feecy clouds about the moon, flowed round her"
| GONE OF THE Bo-HoYs"
