FENCE OF Hoors.-The NY. Tribune
like almost every journal in the count
ry has had its fling at ladies hoops, and
catches it in the following style from
an indignant female:

In reply, would ask you, would you
like to see the streets OF NewYork city
oInaInented with women in pautaloons,
and do you not think that they (pan
falcons of coursc) would be quite AS

fashion. No true man would make re-

are plenty OF miserable wIetches who
would; and bat few high-minded wo'
men have independence enough 10

person can walk with much greater
ease with hoop even if the same
amount Of clothing be worn; there Is a
buoyancy in the baloon-likc structure
which is great relief to all who a'eun'
