INPoRrASr TO SocrrTy-Poor afflicted hus-
bands, brothers and beauS have been in sad
plight lately in consequence of too rigid seryi-
tude to Partisan fashions; but the last arrival
thus foreshatlows a coming relief:
IAN inventionhas lately been described by a
livery French writer which converts an crcRoi;Re.
petticoat into balloon; the garment can be
Swclled out or reduced to its natural volume ac-
eorling to the will of the wearer a small in
1 genious brass or caoutchouc machine is attach
ed to the petticoat; this little piece of mechar-
ism is furnishedwith n souspipe and piston. ii
you wish to be seated in carriage or box at the
theatre, you open the souspipe and the air dis
perses, leaving your dimensions such as will al
low you to occupy moderate space. But if you
intend to display your toilette on the Champs
Elysees, or enter ball room where hoops and
trains reign triumphant, you press the piston
the air fills the tissue and the crenoline swells
out majestically. With the present style of
dress, it is nearly impossible for two ladies, in
full toilette, to occupy the same carriage.
s1-A comparison of the performances of
the Collins and Cunard lines of European steam
ers for the past year, show that the former have
beaten the latter on the Eastern passages one
day and four hours, and on the Western pas
sages one day seven hours and twenty minutes
Thisis better sailing, on the part of the Cunard
steamers. than was shown in the previous year.
