CORRESPONDENCE. 221 



^* What will be said ?" we might have many 

 useful and elegant innovations of which at 

 present we know nothing. 



Young Wife. — There can be no impropriety 

 in what you say. ^* Honi soit qui mal y 

 pense ? '' So long as you have a good con- 

 science and your husband's approval you need 

 care little for what the world says. 



X. Y. Z., Dashaway, and Countryman. — 

 I cannot reply to your letters. 



Thanking you, Sir, for your kindness in 

 panting me so much of your valuable space, 



I am, &c, 

 Nannie Power O'Donoghue. 



October 25. 



Sir, — The ''recently-invented lady's spur," 

 mentioned in your last issue by " Mabel 

 Florence Kayne," was patented towards the 

 close of the last century, and illustrations of 

 it, and of other spurs on the same principle, 

 can be seen at the Patent Ojfice. I quite 

 concur in the recommendation that a lady 

 should always wear a spur, and it will be 

 seen from the last article by Mrs. Power
