THE cR1NoL1SH.

BY reason Of the great error Of the
public in supposing that the word erinoline
is the French term Of hoops. we are in
duced 70 explain that there is no similari-
ty between them, and that cgfnoline is the
fashionable material for ladies' skirts,
which hoops are not; and they only serve
very imperfechy--to produce the eff
feet to thejupe Of the robe by initiating il
a Ia 6allon. but without the comfort and
grace of the crinoline.
Crinoline is hair-cloth. The name is
derived from its manufacture, as mouselin,
which is called such, whether of cotton
or mixed goods: but when of wool, the
word de laine is added; and so with vel
veteen, grenad;ne, etc., etc.. Grin is the
French name for horse-hair, and the ad.
dition of oline is merely the name of the
peculiar manufacture of it. Since the
great luxury of this kind of skirt has be
come generally known. and the price o
haircloth has raised proportionately, fns
splints and fibres Of wood have been em
ployed to mix with horse-hair in the fabric
but even that stuff is called crinol;ne, be
cause the imitation does not materially
deterioate the goods or change its effect
When bus.les were in fashion. the best o
them were made from 'crinoline; and it j.
said that the fibres of the African cactu.
rather improve the fabric, by mixing i
judiciously with horse-hair.
