Shat a0c Gire up the Uoop 2-The Ex-
press appears to think that hoops must now
go out Of fashion, because they are becom-
ing so common, III their use, to the Whole
sex. We beg to put in doubt on that
subject. The same reason would drive
stays out Of the feminine market altogether.
Women wear them, instead, universally,
and console themselves by limiting the dis
tinctiom to form and costIincss. And thus
it will be with the hoop. It is ono of the
most graceful. rs it must be, in summer,
one Of the most comfortable, of all the in
vcntions recently applied TO female costume.
1t is too useful, too valuable an article, there
fore, to be slightly abandoned. 1t is so sell

NAL bonnet, the fragile boot, the thin cov-
ering for the breast and arms, for all these
are unwholesome-all benefit the physician
and apothecary more than they do those
who indulge in them, and desire to trans.
init healthy physique to posterity. But
the modern hoop has nothing in common
with such eccentricitics. When not exao.
gerated in it's dimensions by bad taste, it is
beautiful innovation upon the old habit of
wearing an entire'wardrobe psrda, in order
to give sufficiently voluminous flow to the
