The st. Louis Republicans lady cor

Norfolk, Va, was the scene of ro-
mantle marriage a few days ago, the
bride having crossed the ocean alone to
be united to her lover. The facts in the
case are as follows: Several months ago
the young man came to America to seek
his fortune. Landing at Norfolk he
went on to Richmond, where he readily
obtained work. When he saw he had n
prospect OF steady employment he wrote
TO his betrothed to come over; and she,
with true woman's faith, left friends and
homo, and after long voyage landed
safely; and the marriage took place
without superauous delay.
Fashion has at length reached point
in dictation at which we rejoice, for its
laws are not now simply for the mere
apparel. A foreign magazine has a
description of dress of which it says,
with this costume the mouth is to be
worn slightly open" This is happy, for
there are so many women who do not
know what to do with their mouths, any
more than timid young men know what
10 do with their hands, that minute di-
rections of this sort, studied with every
style of dress, will be very convenient.
1t is to be hoped that some costumes
will require the mouth to be worn shut,
for the effect in the street would be any
thing but agreeable If every lady went
about with her mouth open. So much
depends upon expression in combina-
ton with costume that the subject is
worthy of study.
