gauze, feathers, and ribband, supported by a face no
bigger than an apple! whilst a broad full-faced lady,

fair country-women would recollect, that the only ex-
cuse a young lady can have for going extravagantly
into a fashion is because it makes her look extrava-
gantly handsome.--Ladies, I must wish you a good
morning.


CHARLOTTE

MANLY

Indeed I cannot. I have seen my uncle and
explained that matter.
