The WAISTS OF AMERICAN LApIFs.-The unnet-
ural length and ridiculous smalness Of their
waists battle description. A waist that can be
spanned is English metaphorical expression
used in novel, but il is an American fact; and
so alarming does it appear 10 an Engllshman, that
my first sentiment on viewing the phenomenon,
was one of pity for unfortunate beings who might
possibly break of in the middle, like flowers from
the stalk. before the evening concluded. No less
extraordinary is the size of the ladies' arms.
saw many which were scarce thick ct Than moder-,
ate sized walking sticks. Yet strange to say,
that when these ladies' pass the age Of forty, they
frequently attain an enormous size. The whole
economy of their structure is then reversed, their
wrists and arms becoming the thickest part of the
body. Here is subject worthy the contempla-
ton of tile ethonologist. How comes it to pass
that the English type-which presume has not,
in every case, been SO affected by the admixture of
Others as 10 lose its own identity-how comes it
to pass, say that the Enlish type is so strangely

Gus hypotheses: amongst others. the habits of the
people, the dry climate. The effect of the latter
IN a European constitution would have appeared
tn me sufficient TO account forthe singular con-
formation, i'll had not been persuaded by natives
of the CO fntry, that the small waists is mainly
owing TO tight lacing This practice it is SAID is
pesevered in to an alarming extent; and if port

felt by future generations to greater degree than

LADIES' HAiR.--1 wish some one would write
good treatise-how well the writ rs of some articles
IN the Quarterly Gould do ton hair dressing.
How often 10 we see really good face made quite
ugly "a total inattention to lines. Sometimes
the hair is pushed into the cheeks and squared at
the forehead so as to give most extraordinary
pinched shape to the face. Let the oval, where it
exists, be always preserved; where it does not let
the hair be so humored that the deficiency shall
not be perceived. Nothing is more common than
to see face, which is somewhat too large below,
made look grossly large and coarse by contracting
the hair on the forehead and cheeks, and there
bringing it to IN abrupt check; whereas such a
face should enlarge the forehead and cheeks, and
let The hair fall partirly over as to shade aud
soften off the lower exuberance. good treaties,
with examples in outlines of the defects, would be
of some value upon lady toilet who would wish
to preserve her great priyilege-the supremacy of
beauty.
Some press the hair down close to the face which
is TO lose he very characteristic of har-ease and
freedom. ''Let her looks,' says Anacreon, "lie
as they like; the Greek gives them life anu will"
Some ladies' wear the hair like tlinGes-yuu al

dering Connecticut, andithen, at an elevation of
only 8 or o feet from the ground, sailing moder-
ately over the rich fields of broom and grain, and
over the flower srangled fields of grass, waving to
the western breeze, and conversing by the way
with the merry farmers, as they follow their recre-
