A TEXAS BEAUTY.--The editorial
correspondence of the Baltimore
American concludes that Texas ladies
are fully up to the average of their
sex. In the item Of dress, both as to
quality, material, trimmings, laces,
and all the little ct ceteras that go to
make up lady's toilette, they are
evidently as expensive to their hus-
bands and fathers as their sisters at
the North, and are equally as profuse
In the display of fine iewelry, dia
monds, chains, bracelets, etc. The
dress of young lady who rode with
the gossipping editor through the
TexaE wiids was black silk, closely
fitting, with sprays OF flowers. worked
with black beads, across the breasl
and slightly over the shoulders. Her
dress was close up to the throat, and
stiff, white standing collar, turned
down at the points, was enriched by
blue six scarf, worn precisely as a
gentleman wears cravat, tied in a
bow in front. This gave to her fine
form an exquisite finish, whilst her
clear complexion and the healthy
bloom on her checks were sufficient 10
soften the heart of an anchorite.
