HooPs GOING Our The Paris correspond
ence of the North American contains the
following:
The attempt made by Queen Victoria tc
resist the invasion of the crinoline is an old
story. We use the -,,ord crinoline as being
the one now indiscriminately applled to ai
skirterpanders, though the material called
by that name has been long superseded by
steel and whalebone. Her Majesty appear

hoops. no stiffeners of any kind, swell th'
skirts of the English bellies. On a recent
visit to London, we were struck by the con
trast the female part of the population pre-
sented with the Parisiennes they really
seemed like creatures from another sphere
and, after all the outcry that has been raised
against the outre rotundity impaired by the
hoops, we must confess to preferring it by
far to the scraggy, long-drawn thin-cut forms
we saw in England. In Paris the travelling
English women, with straight up and down
fork-l figures, surmounted by immense fiat
hats. garnished with lace, resemble open UNI
brellas-or, as we heard one of their owr
countrymen say, insane mammoth mush
rooms running about the streets.

a CALIFORNIAN IN FRANoE-The following
is an extract from letter of an "Old Califor
nian" now travelling in Europe. 1t is pub
lished in the Alta. He thus speaks of the
French:
How in the name of consistency, or by
what distortion of facts, the French are call
ed polite, cannot conceive! Their conduct
toward the women is sufficient of itself to
give the lie to all professions Of true polite
ness. for it is often, very often beneath the
brutes In fact, among all classes, she is
treated generally as thing whose existence
is to bow down to the behests and minister
to the beastial desires of mani Woman in
Paris, is being wholly apart from what she
is in the United States We accord to her
equality; We give place to her and shield
h6r, and look upon her as our fit companion.
Here. she must pander to the sense of man
take care of herself, and submit to indigni-
ties that have no name And this fact is a
correct exponent of Paris politeness and re-
fnement As for the refinement, beauty and
fashion, it all means pleasure, and pleasure
in Paris means balls, mask operas, theater,
midnight carousals, licensed prostitution,
illegitimate children, and the qualification Of
sense, and beastial desires in thousand
ways disgusting to reasonable beings.
