Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt Richie, in her
London letter to the San Francisco Chron-
icle, handles the legs of some of her Amer.
lean and English sisters in this free man
ner:
We trust our fair American sisters will
not be shocked by our unhesitating use OF
the word '1egs, which they are accustom-
ed to designate as climb, " or clover limb.
In England and all over Europe that little
subterfuge would be pronounced indelicate
and affected; and it certainly is the latter,
if not the former.
But to our story. White, Symmetrical
feminine legs are said to be disappearing
from American soil. They are so much in
the ascendant in England that ladies OF
rank have invented new method of MAX
ing known their fair proportions. We
read in the March number of the Galaxy
in work just published, two American
medical men put forth the gross Islander
that ''a handsome leg is rarity-we had
almost said, an impossibility
American womenr' We do not believe the
ungallant libel though American ledies
their charms by wing casts taken of their
shapely legs, as al ornament for drawing
room tables, or to be sold for the benefit OF
the vender of casts, or to be circulated
among friends as delicate token of friend.
ship and valuable work of art What we
are about to relate appears, at the first
blush, so incredible that we hold ourseli
responsible for its exact truth.
Upon the drawing room table of a lady
of rank in London-a lady of high position
and irreproachable character-rnay be
seen, beneath glass case, a lovely dimpled
little foot, delicate ankle, rounded calf, up
to the knee-joint; it is the cast of the leg
of Lady , the hostess In Soho
Square there is a small shop. in W ich you
can purchase, for five shillings, cast of
one of the most exquisite legs, the original
in the fesh-belongs to Lady de G
- and R, who went to this little
shop incog., and had her perfect leg mold
ed, and afterward generously gave the
shopman the privilege of selling copies of
the cast, which he does daily, for it was
quickly discovered to whom the beauteous
leg belonged.
One lady, the wife OF a Mayor of a town
in the provinces, came to London and had
two casts taken of her leg; one nude. and
one with neat little shoe, stocking and
garter. Strange to say Though no artist
will call it strange). the leg with the stock
ing and garter produced an effect much fur
Their removed from modesty than the leg
quite unclad. Brucciana, the cast vender
in Convent Garden, drives brisk business
in casting ladies' legs, and has any quantity
of models of all descriptions taken from life,
for sale. How this leg mania originated
We have never heard. but there is certes ex-
PLANTATION for this sudden passion among
the aristocratic fair to have their legs recog-
nized; perhaps it is only because "a thing
of beauty is a JOY forever"
