THE BASQUE.

The dress makers say that the basque is pass
ing out of date-that il is not so much worn now
as formerly, and that it will soon be discarded
in the higher circles. We seize the first mo-
ment 10 enter our protest against this movement
We gave our heart TO the basque years ago. We
made the surrender publicly, 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 "A woman have distinct hon
or, and perform peculiar office, in the economy
OF her existence. They contain her heart, her
breath, her life, and the fountains of other life.
1t is fit, therefore, that this portion of the frame
be dressed by itself, as it were-that it be hon
ored as the Sc It and center of life. The skirt is
another thing entirely. The limbs are used on

ial from tie waist.
Now we protest against this rubbing out of all
distinctions. There is just as much propriety in
attaching the hat 10 the neck of the dress, as
there is in fastening the skirt TO the waist; and
the whole idea of the old fashioned gown can on
ly be carried out by making The bonnet and
shoes part of it. If we are to lose the basque.
let us go the whole figure, fas,en everything to.

we shall look. Let the gentlemen initiate the
ladies', and revive the earlier patterns of breech

the neck and heels, But such an operation as
this wonld be impossible. The coat is sacred
NeHment. 1t is to man what the basque should
be IL woman.

evening said beau was anxious to enjoy
some private conversation with his charm

room, somewhat marred his wishes. The

but he was disappointed. The youngest
child, boy Of three years old, slept with
the young lady, ard had NO idea Of retir.

Stretching his chubby length upon the
