Maidens, of Love's fair wreath beware, WILLIAM L***. CONUNDRUMS.-BUDGET II. "D'ye give it up?" 9. If I want my daughter Nancy to carry a pair of stockings to the tallest person in company, how would I address her in the most religious manner? 10. What is that which binds people together, and touches only one? 11. Why is the paper from which the banns of marriage are published like a daily journal ? 12. Why is a knockneed person like a poor man soliciting alms? 13. Why is an egg overdone like an egg underdone? 14. Why is a contented man like a rebel? 15. Why is Sir Walter Scott like galvanism? 16.

WALKING DRESS.A round high dress of fine merino, the color of the marshmallow one deep flounce, edged and headed by deep rouleaux of the same color in satin, forms the border of the skirt. The body is made plain, and buttons down in front by a row of buttons, set very close together; and the waist is encircled by a pointed zone. The sleeves are en gigot, with double cleft mancherons, and a gauntlet cuff at the wrists. A double ruff of lace is worn round the throat, fastened in front by a bow of colored ribbon.

Many of the most elegant and approved dresses, are of colored satin, and the corsage laces behind; with these, when worn only in demi-parure, is a pelerine of the same color and material as the dress, trimmed at the collar, which is left open, with a frill of broad white blond: a very broad hem surrounds the border, in bias. A black velvet zone, pointed in front, is often worn with these gowns, particularly when that gown is of a light color. Ball dresses are often trimmed with ruches of blond or tulle: all these dresses have been for some time truly appropriate to dancing, by the simplicity of their bordertrimming; many now consist of broad satin ribbon, set, in |
