I think I mentioned in my last that the hair was worn low on the
neck--certainly far lower than has been the custom for some little
time. But I do not find that the knot of hair is quite so low just now.
Evidently the idea has not quite "caught on," as the slang phrase has
it, and most of the well-dressed heads I have lately seen have had the
coil of hair at the back of the head midway down. Perhaps, later on, we
shall see more of the low hair dressing than we do now.
Truly the swing of the pendulum has quite carried us away from the neat
and ever-becoming black stockings, and the new ones are a study in
colour and design. I think the tartan ones will be worn, and will look
well; but I cannot say I like the others; nevertheless, that may be
because one has grown used to a lack of colour for so long.
So far as boots and shoes are concerned, the most fashionable people
wear the American ones with their extremely pointed toes and narrow
feet, but it is open to the sensible to wear something more comfortable
if they do not mind a loss of style, for we cannot be really smart
unless our poor feet be pinched and pointed to the last degree.
OUR PROSPECTUS PUZZLE REPORT.
SOLUTION.
ANOTHER NAUGHT.
A ROUNDEL.
Time hastens onwards to the day
When our good, trusty printer ought
Upon our numbers to display
Another naught.
Oh! how tremendous is the thought:--
A thousand weeks have passed away
Since out our magazine was brought!
We love our work, it is but play;
"_Bon Voyage_" to the bark high-fraught;
And printer, sing as you in-lay
Another naught.
