A Spoonful of “ Punch.” Tae Wronts or Crixouine —“ My Dearest Mr. Punch: Do, pray, let me beg and en- treat of you, please, be so kind as to notice the dreadful carelessness that everybody al- most is guilty of in not minding what they are about, and dirtying, and tearing, and epoili ladies’ dresses. 1 appeal to you because know your chivalrous spirit ; you are like one of the knights of the olden time who rode about righting wrongs and redressing griev ances, particularly those of distressed dam sels, with their lances, and in the same way | wish you would give the rude, negligent, pro- voking, disagreeable creatures I mean, a poke. Uh! I have no patience with them They know that dresses are worn long and wide now; then, since they are aware of this. why can they not bearitin mind? Instead of which, whenever they go down stairs, gen- tlemen I mean, to dinner, or away from a play or a concert, or anywhere where there are ladies with them, those behind us are cer- tain to tread on the skirts of our dresses, thinking of something else. The same at ta- ble, where the legs of their chairs are sure to be on our flounces, and when we rise to retire crash they go! ‘Of course, owing to the width of dresses, it is now impossible to get into a brougham, or any carriage almost, without the dress rub- bing against the sides. Now when drivers of other vehicles in the streets, not only cabmen, but with carriages of their own, must ce that, why is it they take little or no care how they drive, and splash ours, so that we must brush against it getting in, and there is a beautiful new dress perhaps all over mud? If they cannot heip splashing. which they could it they tried. the Board of Health, or whatever it is, ought to see that the streets are kept in 2. proper state, swept nice and clean, not only in London, but at watering places now, and other places where fashionable people go, and, being obliged to appear as such, if the strects are dirty, of course they naturally sweep up the mud, and rub it on, and one way or the ther get dirt ail over, and spoil their things. “Another thing: when men are walki along the pavement they never mind how they carry their umbrellas and walking sticks Very often they hold them lengthways by the middle, and then, as they hurry along, with their minds absent in stupid thought, or busi- ness, looking straight before them, up in the sky, or any where but where they ought, the crovk at the end catches in a fold of the dress, and—crack!—tearit alldown If they must carry sticks and umbrellas, they should confine themselves to those with knobs for handles, instead of hooks getting in the way of our dr and tearing them “ Servants, too, are so very inconsiderate in arranging things without allowing proper room. One cannot step into a balcouy where there are plants without upsetting a geranium, overturning a myrtle, or knocking down en orange tree, or perhaps breaking a beautifal vase—all for want of a little foresight, which, if they do not exercise it, what advantage is it to be gifted with such a prerogotive in pref- erence to the inferior species **T aiso think, Mr Poxak, you might give a hint to gentlemen when they go inside a earri hot to take up so much ruom as they do wit ady by the side of them, and her dress, as the case generally is. spread out over their knees.
