COMMUNICATED.
4 Mr.. Editor II noticed in your paper of
the 18th instant communication over the sig
nature Of an 1" Observer who, on account of
the approaching winter, has been SO suddenly
moved by feelings" of sympathy for his
"kind," as to cause him to ''violate'' his 're-
firing" nature and /" come before the public"
for the purpose of complaining against what
he is pleased to term the mighty barbados"
which are presented on the avenue in the shape
Of hoops" And while no one regrets more
than myself that one of our sex should crowd
so modest q gentleman as " Observer" seems
to be off the ''crossngs," still think he de-
serves to walk in the mud for not possessing
instinct enough to "rstfre" to some safe place,
and there wait until the barricade' he
speaks of has fairly passed him.
But must be permitted to say, in this con-
nectiOn, that heretofore 1 have been led to be-
lieve that whenever such gentlemen as " OBJ
server" takes to the mud on meeting lady, it
is always done in order to show their GAL
izntry for the sex, and feel somewhat sur
prised now to learn that, in girtng rcay to a
lady on the " Crossings" they do "Utoience"
to their 90 feelings - observer" however,
in his zeal to serve his kind fOrgets that the
crossings are often barricaded7 by others
than those wearing hoops" and were it not
for the retirement in which he seems to have
lived, ne might have known that the I" unfor-
tunale lnulVlQudls WnOm ne represents are
as often seen barricad,ng the " crossings by
their zig rag movements, caused no doubt,
by the 'brtekS" they carry in that append
age which adOrns their pericraniums as We
are by our hoops
And it is somewhat surprising that q gentle
man possessing so much of the milk of human
kindness rs I" Observer" did not do moro vio-
lence to his feelings and call the attention of
the City Fathers TO the abatement of that OBJ
stacle ir the way of safe locomOtion on the
Avenue too; but suppose the reason why
be did not is, that, feiiOtc feeling often
makes US wonderOus Kind " In closing this
hasty and desultory communication, would
ask in all gravity, as an interested individual,
and in behalf of my sex, which is the "SU6-
Jset" "Observer" wants to bring to the "nO-
ncs" of the Getty Fathers of the
" crossings or the pr0priety Of our wearing
" HOOPs2' For, from the obscure manner in
which his ideas are cOuched one cannot tell
for the life Of them which - annoyance" he
would have the City Fathers" Iegislate upon
And although neither bloOmcr" or an
advocate for woman's rights still l do
maintain that we have as much right to walk
on the avenue with our hoops" although
they may annoy 6 Observer, > as he has to
promenade that street with cigar in his
mouth putting the smoke in our faces TO our
great discOmfOrture and " ANNOYANCE" In
deed, We find cur "hoop5" Of great advan-
t'ge, as "5arricades," in keeping at a respeo.
I Die distance such " unfoytuRate indiUtd.
N s." Yours, &c, LOUISA.
