many Of our ladies' on public occasions.
Al the risk of many frOwns, cast from

gardless OF good taste, not TO say of mod
esty, as now. Ladies evening apparelis
anything but "full'' dress, in the literal
sense-at least in many instances. The
unobectionabe exposure of the throat
and neck, which replaced the stiffy star
ched standing collars or ruffles of olden
times, has been carlcatured of late, until
now our acknowledgement lady can
