Ruthero ford County, Aug 18TH, 1850.
Dear Letter Boz;
Thinking you would like 10 hear what
is going on in this section among tho
lads and ~lasses, your humble servant
takes this opportunity to give You lew
lines. Your article on long dresses crca'
ted quite a sensation in our midst, inso'
much tha, lhe'fn fair ones threatened to
doG crinolinc, balmorol and oIl. This
coming 10 the ears Of tho gallant bcaux,
they at once held n meeting OF proleSla'
ton nnd after much consultation, passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, That we viii not admire, gallant, or court
any lady who does no, swing the cIinolinc ard keep step
II he music Of IalmOral.
The effect was tremendous. The stores
were instantly cleared Of all the hoops,
and orders Immediately forwarded for q
fresh supply. EDWARD,
Our remarks about long dresses were
mjsintcrprctcd if they led any person to
believe that we arc opposed to hoops
We Ike hoops. They give Il beautiful
r%otUndjty TO the wcarcr, unollninabIc by
any other known means. But such long
dresses as we have seen some wear, look
abom.inablc, and since we have seen our
remarks in relation TO them copied by a
magazine Of JaShion, at the North, we
think they deserve attention from all the
fair sex. However, there are not many
about here who wear their dresses much
too long.
The next is from young man whose
station is on the square in our town, and
a clever, sober, industrious fellow he is,
who wants to marry, and no mistake
IN fact, he has made a liIttIe bet with Us
that he will marry the coming Fall, and
If he don't, we'll claim the suit Of fine
clothes, Hell make a good husband,
girls, if any one will. His letter was
left ovcc last week, but listen to him if
he is behind:
