Oe tke Haek Dell Ole ac, 
watch too has alfo quitted its modeft ftation, and the fair 
wearer, inftead of confulting the hour with the former grace- 
ful recline of the head, now boldly lugs out the oracle, and 
afterwards thrufts it—the lord knows where! My niece E/i- 
zabeth, in defence of this new mode, fays, that its motions 
are confiderably altered fince it had experienced a new fitua- 
tion. No wonder, fince it had quitted the temperate for the 
torrid zone. A long ftring, with all the mafculine load of 
feals, &c. now affectedly hangs down the center of the fair 
frame ; fometimes it is formed of hair, ending with a ftrange 
fringe of the fame. A celebrated antiquarian affured me 
that this was the true love-lock. And a wicked rogue added, 
that it was an excellent conductor of amorous ideas to our 
fex, a remembrancer to our flack youth, and, like a ftrange 
peculiarity in the drefs of the ladies of Siam, which ferves ag 
a whet to the depraved appetites of their copper-coloured, 
gallants. Inftead of ” JI could no longer bear his prof- 

ing, fo diverted the difcourfe: but not without giving internal) 
affent to part of his reflections, even tinétured as they were by- 
the foolifh prejudices of old age. Laudable as a due attention 
is to fafhion in young people, yet I was brought to confefs that- 
there were indecencies in thofe of the prefent year, which are 
the difeuft of the grave, the fcoff of the licentious ; are marks 
of alight mind, or bring under fufpicion of levity the pureft 
heart, which thoughtlefsly adopts the unfuitable manners or ha- 
bit of our fex.
