FEBRUARY. Douglas Jerrold used to, say
that ladies' talk less-in February than in any
other month of the year which he attributed
to the fact that ithas only twenty-eight days,
to match against the thirty and thirty one Of
the other, calendar months. This year, the
fair creatures wall enjoy an extra day-in order
that they may make aiberal use of the pecu
liar privileges which the year confers upon
them. But whether the month contains TWEEN
ty-eight or twenty.nine days is of little &C
count to at least two ladies in this city-they
being sure to make their usual amount Of "chir
music" irrespective Of the length Of the month
