IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES.


The following item from review OF
the fall fashions, will be read with inter
est by our lady readers:
One important change in ladies dress
is of such benefit that it must not pass
by without remark, and that is the adop-
ton of heavy English shoes. Balmoral
boots and fur-lined shoes insures good
health and happiness to ladies, and they
begin to enjoy the benefit of wearing
them: A dainty foot is in no way dis
graced by an elegant fitting balmoral.
Furs were less used last winter than in
the former years; they are too expensive
and are not indispensable. But there are
such elegant furs imported this fall thai
many will be tempted to indulge in the
luxury of a fur cape or tippet, muf and
fur lined shoes and gloves. Velvet hood:
and some velvet bonnets will be trimmed
with fur.
Ladies will dress the front Of the hal
quite differently this next winter. Il
will be crimped, curled and puffed ou
very far a; the sides, and not worn clos
til 1he face.

We'll, we were sitting in the piazza,
and talking Of our love and separation,
&c. We were waiting for the unwelcome
sound OF the steamboat bell, and you may
rely on it, we talked fast, and abbrevia-
ted our words in such rugged sentences,
that no body but ourselves could under
stand them. The first bell rang-I
sprang to my feet and trem5led like an
aspen. z-..,-e

rings" said Helen, as the big bright
tears come over her blue eyes.
sDo no such thing, answered the
hoarse voice of Mr.. Harris. as be rose like
