able trimmed circumstances, when she " takes her walks abroad" into the domain or other where, or when she very properly goes to church with higher motives than to see and be seen; but judging, say from her several hats, we are inclined to the opinion that she is amiable, intelligent, and loyal. To express her love of letters she wears her " Dolly Varden;" to evince her spirit of womanly Jpatriotism she puts on her "Joan of Arc;" and to show her loyalty she crowns her royal brow — free fr<£i.tbe green — with the. exquisitely shj-^u sn. Hence her hats may, in a limited sense, aid the cause of popular education. The life of the Auckland lass must therefore be a busy one if its outer manifestations may be taken as a correct criterion. A poet once said or wrote : — " Beauty, when unadorned 's adorned the most." The writer, James Thomson, was a Scotch man, if not a " cannie Scot." The Auck land lass, nor any other lass, could not possibly subscribe to thig bachelor poet's assertion ;—" 'tis very pretty in : poetry," she would say; " but not the • cheese' in fashionable life." When the stars are out she gracefully bends without the."Grecianbend," and the "Alexandrian limp," these being things of the past, over her favorite pages ; and the Parisian facts which the silent type communicates to her listening heart she reads thus : "Elegant bonnets for visits, or the water side promenade are a 'Vordre dv jour this month." "Bother the French," she feelingly exclaims; " Ma," (she prefers Ma to the nobler appellation of mother) " ma, I must learn French, or I shall be but half-furnished for the married sphere I hope to fill; I can do all sorts of fancy work, anti-macassor, and crotchet; can blend designs, and make slippers ; am well versed in colonial etiquette; can make my piano respond to the souls of the masters of harmony, and yet I don't know the French language." We will not pry into the home-life of the Auckland lass ; we might not re cognize her in her dishabille among the activities of private life. We might there see her in a more substantial guise than a " phantom of delight," without mysterious rolls and fluttering display; we might discoverthe embryo woman atsevonteen,— the promise of the colonial wife, " nobly planned To warm, to comfort, and command ; And yet a spirit still, and bright With something of an angel-light."
