EDITORS Pass; Promising l will not
iDtrude upon your joucDalistic item
iziDg frequently, and feeling assured
your Rallsntry to our sex, editors
sre different in their devotous to the
ladies from the usual travel of men in the
city,) will allow US few words now and
then, concerning our interests and observa-
tons, l will at once proceed with my pen.
Luce and myself-Lucie is my bosom
friend and companion-not unfrequently
welk Fourth street. Sometimes on shop
ping" promenades, and at other times
purposely to display our purchases-this
latter piece of intelligence is strictly con.
6dential. AS we are ladies, you, as a 10 atter
of course, don't care to know why we do so.
We make our toilette with great care. Ad-
Just the circumference Of - of our criHoLi1e
rs the men of the world ssy-with a caIcu-
laIing eye and ideas; not necessary to detail
the latter. Here follows the exterior at.
fractions, lace trimmed skirts-don't be
alarmed at the word; mean 8 k i.rt s,
skirts-sometimes called "petticoats;" that's
ancient, however, and both Lucie and dis
card tie term. Our dress follows next, aud
with he aid of a mirror, we accomplish our
pleasing task collars, undersleeves, gloves,
jewelry, bonnets, cloaks, etc., are soon in
use, and we are ready. The window across
the way reveals to rs an observing eye, and
We like it, for We wish to be looked at, and
like for our dress aud bonnet to cause others
of our sex, after we have passed them, TO
| stop and look back at us-scanning our arti-
cles Cf wear with the eye of a connosseur,
/ not many of them however are proficient in
the matter of dress, if we Lucie and |, may
be allowed to judge.
1t was not my intention to write half as
much as | have already done, and it some
how astOnishes me to know have scrubbed

| editors ever are deceived, expecting much
and finding, when your Iabors appear in
| type, you have accomplished nothioRl
| don't exscty mean nothing but discover
| you haven't came up to yonr expectations
| What | "mesDter say" is this: Lucie aud
| your correspondent want to know why the
mt mbers OF the male sex stand on the street
corners and in tobacco salons on Fourth
street and gaze after a lady as though she
was "trotted OUT to be looked at, squinted
at and gIinned at; and fDally when waiting
for the door to be opened, at home, suddenly
discover one of the habitues above named
walking past the house2
Now, Mr.. Editor, on three occasions 6
young man has dogged my footsteps, our,
should sBy, Lucies aud mine, for just two
hours, occasionally producing a white "ker'
chief" which be uses most too often fol
fluid purposes, and 1t is my opiuion, his de
signs are OF a solid character. What wan
to know is, can you impsrt TO us som,
method for getting rid of this prosecutor
Do tell us Immediately, and by so doing yoI
may consider yourself kissed by me, for
guess" you are out of the market.

We would say to Miss Havaunah, do no
mid bis uDgentlemanly coGduet, or mind

slowly, and when you discover him in clos
proximity, walk up TO him and say some
thrg about q brother, and we are coufdeu
the pseudo gentleman will discontinue hi
