that of an Indian squaw. What those French
artists call bonnets are not bonnets at ALL they
are not even caps. do not know that night
cap would be more beautiful, but certainly it
would be more useful. What can be more ad-
mirable, however, even in the case OF these small
5onnets, than the skill and taste with which
these lady workmen of yours turn out their
productions? Why, these articles are gems of
beauty, and they make the female face more
!ovely-if that be possible than it has been
made by nature You see that though far ad-
ysnced in lite, have not yet forgotten the
