Poor HUSBAND ON BoNsErs,-Soue poor
devil OF ahusband, in d communication which
we md In Punch, says most truly that the ex-
pense of new bonnet does not stop with the
purchase; he wishes that it did. The worst Of
1t is, he contends, that when your wife has got
new bonnet she must go to this place and
that placa for the purpose of showingit The
bonnet, OF itself, is but small matter: IL is
the constant exhibition of it afterwards that
tells on the husbands pocket Sone cheap
and simple remedy to do away with the evil
Is recommended, and it is suggested that as
good way as any for the women 10 let all the
world know that they have come into posses
SION OF new bOnnets is, instead Of publishing
the fact on the back Of their heads, to resort to
the far easier and cheaper plan Of advertising
In the newspapers-ssy, somewhat in the style
following:
TNHIS is TO GIVE NOTICE, that have,
L within the last two days, purchased new
Bonnet, which lie the prettiest little duck Of a
thing that was ever seen. 1t was bought of
Nd me Glare Nouyeaute, de Paris, and cost f4
lbs If 1T cost a farthing; as the receipt that I
have at home in my desk can testify. may
as well state that it is a love of q drawn bon-
net, or In other words, little capote d'hivsr.
The crown, which is OF the richest plum color
ed satin, is crossed and crossed like the ban
you see on the jam tarts) with tiny 6andeauz
of velvet. (the very best Genoa,) Of a warm
damson color. Round the edges run small
plumes OF feathers Of q nice jelly nHance and
inside are puffs Of white blonde French, that
look for all the world like a cluster Of snow
balls in danger of being melted by the
warmth Of the colors above. The ribbons are
chocolate ar lar. To sum up, the bonnet falls
off the head, reclining languishingly on the
shoulders, as though il were too weak, poor
thing, TO hold itself up, and was going of in a
kind Of fashionable swoon. In one word, it 10
so light so pretty, so ravIssant, and such
perfect dear, that Eugene herself could not
help being jealous, if she were TO see it. How
ever, l shall wear it next Sunday in church,
so tina. all my friends will have a charming
opportunity Of judging Of the effect, which is
as delightful as il is dIstIngNe. (SignedD
