A'io-r, . .7 No one wiio was present at iho theatre n FriJay evening could help atl miring the gorgeous display of ladies' dnsS',5 in the auditory. The company was pr b thly the in ut ' fa-.hi'nahle that has ever a?-e:ubled : in liie nous-, b it I d -sire t call e.-peeia! attcnti..ii to lite coitlures of the dear creatures, ll to haj.pens that I measure five feet two and a hal! inches in my slocking feet, consequently con-sequently it will naturally occur to the contemplative mind that I am nut so tall as some people.
