TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

•Sir.—Upon opening your paper dated 10th January I lead a letter in this connection from "An Old Bachelor." I must express my surprise that there lives in our present enliylitciKril age one so old-fashioned as our friend mentioned above. Our physical beauty ie our own, to do with as we wish, and I think a bachelor, and an old one at that, is not the best advised person to show iis either how to dress or the manner in which to carry it when we are dressed. I take quite a delight in informing your readers, now that I am a • woman who drseees and carries my "swaying form" in the latest style, and my acquaintances amongst the sterner sex (both young and old) assure me that I am a revelation to them. Fancy tht» old dear calling it indecency ! I am afraid that "Old Bachelor" has had so many disappointments in his long life that the sight of our fair forms affects him somewhat in the same manner as a red rag does a bull. Please forgive me, "Old Bachelor," if I have offended yoa. Perhaps if you were to turn over a new leaf at thie late stage of your career andi "take unto yourself a wife." your ideas concerning ourselves would undergo a radical change.—Yours, etc., MODERN WOMAN.
