The master makes the scholar grasp n ball
of ivory to show4iira that the points of the
fingers are then eqURl! It would have been
better had he closed the fingers upon the
palm, and then asked whether or not they
corresponded. This difference in the length
of tho fingers serves a thousand purposes?

of the town, havo just introduced
their new spring styles, ono of which is do
scribed ns slightly bell in shape, delicate sot,
with modest curve, very light, and with fine
band and binding. This is the New York
Hat.
A second* sfyfe, intended more for youths
has a cylindrical crowrt, nnd very graceful
curve to brim. A third style boasts of a
crown a trifle smaller at the top than at the
band, while tli3 8et of brim is nearly flat,

juiu possesses scurceiy any curve, in our
opinion, the bat first described is the most
elegant and recherche in appedfiance, and
will prove to bo becoming to more persons
than either of the others.
Of shirt bosoms thoso of marseilles and
figured and striped linen, are fashionable
for sporting and morning wear; while,-for
