14th January, 1862. Sir, —Having been a long time absent from England, and being most anxious to dress myself like an English lady, I venture to hope you will favour me with the necessary information, as I have observed, the. ladies here, .with few exceptions, invariably wearing hats in ..church on Sundays;.and recollecting before ! l.eft home my mama, together with society in general, would have been perfectly shocked at my appearing in any head-dress on Sunday but my best bonnet. I should be glad to know which is the correct thing. I trust my bush life—which as a matter of course has kept me in the dark as to the solution, of this -enigma—will plead my apology for thus seeking the. information . through the medium of youif; more particularly as no Lady’s MagazlhVis published in Wanganui; v-;-y A Votary, of FasiiS^h-. [Not being competent to decide this vbty-im-portant matter, we shall be glad if any w %be ladies who read the Chronicle can enlighteh'OtOr correspondent on the; subject. ] . ;
