DIsAPPEARAECE OF THE Bonnet |
The name of the bonnet, we believe, |
still survives for a curiously-exagger- |
ated ornament Of the hair and it is |
possible that In the female mind, the |
subtle waves of which are unsearchable.
some kind of historical unity with re-
spect to the article has been kept M. so
that women may still imagine that they
wear bonnets. But, as men understand !

dress made for many years. We are
not at all setting up the past against
the present. The existing female fash

has a single pair of bright eyes or ROSY
cheeks TO commend it. Besides. the

Is when they ask that women should
reveal, not hide, their faces; and in
leaving off the bonnet, the sex has gone
TO the full limit in that point of their
attire. No woman in England now con-

checks, dlmpled or undimpled chins,
ear-tips, all are visible.
WToHERY OF HAR.-Women know
now that there never has been ANYTHING

exalt the type of all the loneliness there
is, equally with the half-veiling. half
