Is there an Englishwoman who will 'own to obesity P At all events, there are some whoso friends .-.credit .them therewith, .and though, for tho nonce fashion .does not 'lend much kindly help to her. blessed .with a good deal of flesh, still comely grace lias'not lost its charm altogether. She certainly • looks younger than her sisters of the samo age, who are of Pharoah'B lean kind. Of course, the comely matron must not adopt tightfitting raiment,. nor' look with favourable eyej- on the princess cut, and it .is folly, with " a , view of compressing the too ' solid flesh, to wear'tight dresses, for flesh , will assert itself somewhere. On, tho contrary, her gowns should be loose.' This does away with the'hard lines, adopting as long ones as possible.
