MISCELLANEOUS READING.
THE BASQUE.

SHALL 1T co OUT OF FAsHIoN?-The dress
makers say tuat the basque is passing on: OF
date--that it is not 80 much worn now as for
merly, and that it will soon be discarded in
the higher circles. We seize the first mo-
ment to enter our protest against this move
ment. We gave our heart TO the basque
years ago. We made the surrender public
ly. in these columns. We recognized the
eternal fitness of things in which the idea OF
the basque finds its basis. The trunk and
chest of woman have distinct honor, and
perform a peculiar Office in the economy ol
her existence. They contain her heart, her
breath, her life, and the fountains oi other
life. 1t is fit, therefore, that this portion OF
the frame be dressed by itself, as 1t were
that it be honored as the seat and centre oi
life. The skirt is another thing entirely
The limbs are used only for the purpose OF
locomotion, and they are simply to belgnured
by graceful falls of material from the waist.
Now we protest against this rubbing out OF
all distinctions. There is just as much pro
priety in attaching the hat to the neck of the
dress, as there is in fastening the skirt T. the
waist; and the whole idea of the olc-lashion-
ed gown can only be carried out by making
the bonnet and shoes a part of IL. 1t We are
to lose the basque let Us 90 the whole hgure.
faSten every thing together, jump luto the re-
suit, and see how pretty we shall look. Let
the gentlemen initiate the ladies, and revive
the earlier patterns of breechiDg which fitted
all the Offices OF clothing between the peck
and heels But such 40 operation ss this
would be impossible. The coat is sacred
vestment. 1t is to man what the basque
should be to woman.
Perhaps we shall be accused Of meddling
with that which does not particularly con
Germ US. Don't we have to pay for the dress
es? Don't we have to sit with them even
ings? Does not every caress of wife, or sis
ter, or Cousin, or sweetheart, embrace this
great question Of basques or no basques:-
Does not the abandonment OF basques In
volve the abandonment of all those pleas
ant varieties of dress procursble by the sim
pie change OF skirts? Is it none OF our busl-
ness? For whom are these dresses made, We
should like to know? Whose admiration
are they intended to excite! What do la
dies wear handsome dresses for except for the
purpose OF pleasing 1.-The brethren? We,
therefore, take this early occasion 70 declare
that we shall hold ourselves bound to admire
no woman who dscards the basque, and
adopts the idea of the mealbag. We will not
place our arm round the waist OF any woman
who may happen to be in danger Of falling,
unless she wear basque. We are determ.
iDed to frown down the threatened change
with all the power Of severely corrugated
cnuntenaDce. So, dressmakers, beware
