GENERAL REVIEW
The past week haa keen "a lively, considered
from society standpoint, as the preceding one,
notwithstanding that the westher has presented
far more favorable aspect. Nature and Fashion
appear to be always at variance. No sooner does
Fashion gather itself together for the purpose
Of making q glttering parade than Nature
scowls its most emphatic and malignant disap-
proval, coming out afterwards with fairer face
than ever, as it in mockery at the helplessDess
Of deluded humanity. Bat not to everybody
can this ill-fortune come. and there are Jet
many people who will take advantage of the
waning glories Of the Indian summer, and give
partiea and have weddings whils the skies are
clear aud the air mild aud pleasant.
