III the hacks, omnibuses, cabs and

the ladies' take the inside track In the

should there not DO ladies restaurants,

Why should not they have exchanges

matters in republican union. hut
there is ono thing in reference TO the
subject Of restaurants for ladies, deserv-
Ing their special attention; there is
no place where they have so many
charms for the opposite sex, ~ At
homes attending to those domestic
arrangements Of comfort, which lead
to substantial enjoyment. Ladies are
getting to be mere butterflies they

from the inside, where nature has
