LARGE MOUTHS.
The fashions in women are varying, like the shapes of bonnets and the colors of them, and the coming and going of Hewers and feathers and ribbons. We v.-wd to be contented with the simple fashion of dark or of fair women, each of whom had their particular season of success ; but the world has become more exacting in its tastes and now demands li.iit the women in fashion at the moment chall be not only of the fashionable complexion, but shall also have the known fashionable features. Just at this time ilui style seems to be of women with large mouths, a style quite as unaccountable as anything devised by dressmaker or milliner. Who invented this fashion of big mouths it is to state officially, but it probably has its advantages, if anybody could tell what they nr';. The large mouth is pretty generally accompanied by a generous expanse of ii:and women’s lips are a tiling ot such actual delight that the inventor of the fashion of large mouths doubtless supposed there could not be too much of thorn.
