The True Style OF Hoops-A Lady's
Opinion.

A lady in the Ncwburyport Herald
savs:
So, we will say few words on hoops.
Don't call us bear, fair readers, nor throw
away This paper in disgust, for we are not
about To Join our brother knights of the
quill in there crusade rgainst crinoine;
but Don Quixotc like, we will c,pvuse the
cause of distressed damselS, though we "facc
frowning world" We hereby add m ar
ticle to our confession Of faith. We believe
in hoops. Mind, we say hoops, plural mum
hrr. Deliver It's from that al,ominabIe,
single, hogs head hoop, which many Indies
wear about knee high, showing in,ire ahape
through Il single ilin'sy skirt, dragging down
10y It's weight, the dress 10 the shape of a
cone, while the part of the skirt below the
hoops flaps, winds an,ls reef, around it in
every wind that blows. Not much improve
mcnt is the addition Of one or two others
hoops, unless they are graduated in size nc,
cording to the height Of the wearer and
covcrd by skirts Of sctiicicnt thickness to
hide the skeleton, than which nothing could
bc more hdeous, unless, it were vertable
skeleton from the graveyard.
The only skirt that looks uniformly grace
ful is that made of il series of rattan, whale
bone or brass hoops, extending from the
waist to the feet, gradually increasing in
size with that graceful swell that gives TO
the dress the airy contour of blue bell ;
preserving that golden mean in regard
to circumference, that modesty and good
taste will ever dictate. The hoops in this
skirt should be so near together that they
will lose their individuality, anil "malle no
sign" underneath the tl,inest summer dressi;
for herein lies the advantage and whole
philosophy Of the hoop movement, inasmuch
as it allows one skirt to give that fllncss and
grace which has hitherto been attanablc
only by half Il dozen.
After all, the genuine crinolinc is the
thing, which, as its name imports, is a
kind oflair cloth which by its own innate
vir'urc without the aid OF hoops, will pre-
serve its elac,icitv and inflated character,
without the awkwardncss that at times is
inseparable from its humble imitator. The
expense is the only Objection to its general
adoption, which, for the ladies'" sake, we
hope may be soon removed.

MISCELLANY.
From the Pamela Miss. Star.
Climate of Western Texas.

When it was our fortune to live up North
we had some strange ideas with regard TO
the climate of Texas. We supposed that
because four or five hundred miles nearer
the Equator, the inhabitants mast nccess:ri.
ly suffer extremely from the heat during
some eight months of the year. and remain
in doors. on account Of the rain, the other
four. What was our surprise and pleasure
upon reaching this country to find that al.
though in midsummer we could travel or
labor through the day with perfet impuni-
ty, and rest far better during the nigh, than
further North, from the fact that during the
night we have cool and refreshing breeze
from the salt water; while at the North a
sullry day, with the thermometer standing,
at eighty or ninety degrees. was fulIowedA,y
a sultry night; instead Of rising in The morn
ing full Of life and energy, we found our:
selves debilitated and nervous; and here,
nm Western Texas, the most delicate lady,
in the land might for months lie-down to
sleep in the open air, sure TO suffer no i'll If
etant clouds of ,nasrnatic vapors, rising
from swamps and low lands, bringing with
them aspcs and malignant fevers, we have
a pure and hracing atmosphere, bringing
health. life and energy. Instead Of bng,
cold tedious winters, aud short summers,
we have cool summers and mild winters.
Indeed, one who had been accustomed TO
the seventies of Northern winters. would
not think we had any winter in Texas
Eich.in mineral resources, with fertile soil,
beautiful, rapid flowing streams of pure wa
ter, and delightful! climate, all that Wes
Aern Texas requires is portion of the sur

it the richest and most delightful portion
