Hoops-Under this heading the local of
the Cleveland Plaiadeaier, who has ian eve
to the beautiful, diseourseth after the follow
ing style;-"When hoops first came in vogue
as articles of ladies' apparel they we're made
the subject Of an unusual amount of ridieule
and abuse-being caricatured by the artist
and strung into humorous verses by the poet
but all to no purpose; they aourished and
we're soon almost universally worn Even
tually their merits, as elegant, comfortable
and healthful adiuncts of the female wardrobe
were fully appreciated, and hoops became OK
cessiyely popular. But inexorable Fashion
has at last discarded hoops and the ladies are
beginning to appearwithout them. We dislike
very much TO speak unfavorably OF female
costumes--preferring rather TO praise and
admire-whether sincerely or not--knowin0
how sensitive the fair creatures are in regard
to the subject But we cannot remain silent
in the face Of this new fashion. To say that
the latter is unbecomiHg conveys altogether
too faint an idea Of its character-for it is
absolutely irighttul No matter how pretty,
or how graceful, or how artistically formed a
lady may be, she will appear hideous when
decked out in this new freak of Fashion
Those persons who have not witnessed speci-
men of the style in question can get very
correct idea as to how a lady looks therein by
hanging a calico skirt over the end Of bean
pole. Let them try this experiment, and we
viii wager a considerable amount that they
will secretly curse the new fashion.
"Wonder il hoops have been set aside on
account of their political opinionsG Even if
such is the case, we doubt not that public /
opinion will demand their Reinstatement, and
that the demand will be complied with, for
hoops are too conductive to grace, beauty
aud comfort to be long banished from female
circles"
Omnibus, street-cAr and RAILROAD menswill
hardly be induced to udOrse the above, even
should they inwardy acknowledge its truth
They have ian eye to business"
