The present fashionable dress of the ladies is surely the most simple imaginable . It is nothing more than the petticoat pinned to the tucker , with the arms put through the pocket holes .

Female Recruit . —A party of recruits being brought from Oswestry , a surgeon and apothecary in Shrewsbury was applied to by the Serjeant to examine them ,-, agreeable to " custom ; on one of the recruits , apparently a very smart lad , fashionably cropt , and pretty decently dressed , being stripped , all but the shirt and small clothes , the lower part of the neck appearing too prominent through the linen , the medical gentleman closely interrogated Miss respecting her motives for imposing upon the party . She replied , " That having been turned out

ofdoors by her father , she had no other way to get a livelihood . " The gentleman then leaving the room for the girl to put on her dollies , on his return in a few minutes , found the 6 i " n ( Ji . 11111 .
