Last year the Turinese worshipped Piccolomini; her cough in
Traviata, would stir them more than a trumpet. We now learn that
the lovely little lady who, in England, has boxed the ears of public
morality with such an enchanting grace that even morality does not
frown but giggle at the assault,—we now learn that Piccolomini is
dethroned in favour of anew Queen, one Signoba Virginia Bocca-
badats ! There are no such helps to Austria in Italy aslulian Prime
Donne. People who go frantic for music, are apt to be a little cool
upon freedom. In this way, how ofren in Italy has Liberty herself
oeen strangled with cat-gut!
A Lady arrayed in the height of existing fashion presents an interest- j
ing spectacle. Her dress, piled tier above tier, renders her an example j
of Beauty in tiers of muslin. This peculiar arrangement of female j
costume affords facilities for the introduction of a new pattern, which j
■would probably become popular. Each tier might be figured with |
representations of the portholes of a man of war, carrying gun--. Tuus
decorated with the semblance of decks, the little "ciatt" might sail
down upon the spectator with striking effect. In this nautical trim a
young lady might exhibit herself at a fancy dress ball in the character j
of the Saucy Arethusa—unless it may be objected that to come it, in j
Cockney phraseology, so strong as this, would be unsuitable to the
character of the weaker vessel.
