Text Appearing Before Image:
y ladies present invelvet is the only proof of its effectiveness. But velvet is veryeffective. Here, then, are elderly ladies wearing dresses whichare very effective, notwithstanding the wearers time of life. Effec-tive, in the serious language of milliners, means having the powerof attracting admiration, and not that of exciting mirth. We areto understand that elderly ladies in velvet create the same sort ofsensation as that which their juniors dress with a view to creating.In short, according to the Follet, elderly ladies in velvet look pretty, orat least handsome. This consideration may encourage the youngerportion of the softer sex to dismiss all unpleasant suggestions as to theravages of time, and indulge the pleasing confidence that Loveliness,in future, will outgrow muslin only to bloom perennially in velvet. Which of our servants is most likely to steal the eggs?—Thecook, who (cuckoo) is notorious for that species of larceny! PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.—Mabch 16, 1861.
