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.
