The English Reviews and Journals
have been quite exercised of late upon
the style and cut of ladies' dresses.
Some, with no very exalted opinion OF
the wearers, declare that the very low
cOrSuge is adopted for the sole purpose
of display and to attract attention, and

sense of ladies-that they, for the most
part, initiate the fashion without any
consideration of what is involved by
following it. They blindly follow their
tickle, if not blind guide, and thus-un-
consciously, we hope-Iall into impro.
prieties. But since certain modes OF
dressing are sure to expose ladies to the
charge of immodesty, would they not
do well to lay aside doubtful stylesP

Liliputian arrows lodged in all parts OF
the body. Ridiculous and contempti-
bic sorrows require n double portion OF
iortitude or insensibility. They have a
poisonous quality, which is most in
furious to the best natures"

There is more gaming and horse-racing
this season than ever, and John Nor
