Mr Editor. — Perusing the columns of the
Citizen I find therein contained, over the sig- '
nature of "Aunt Doily,.” a correspondence,
or rather a proposition, to which, thiough the
medium of your columns, I wish briefly to re
ply. This I think I have a right to do; for I
come as one of the many “who have served
out their time, and returned home to rest upon
(heir laic els ” It has never been my misfor
tune, Mr. Editor, to have to question the
modesty which invariably niaiks out and
adorns with brilliancy the progress of the
true woman. Nut would l in the present
instance, under any circumstances whatever,
lie found intentionally pictui ing a stain over
(hat so much to tie adiniied ainl apppreciated
: jewel. But there are, as is evident fiom
I “Aunt Dolly’s pioposition, grounds sufficient
fur doubt as regards its foiiner purity. Aunt
Dolly pioposes to have us presented with “a
hoop -kirt.. a wax doll, and a sugar tit ! ’ A
mighty proposition is this; and a mighty
woman is she. But since Aunt Dolly is so
liberal hearted, we think that sj.|e_!.n_ight.have
extended her liberality, and have pioposed to
give us all (lie other little extras and ap
pendages which have ihetr^pecuttarity to theT
apparel of the feminine sex. As a reason, j
we know that t.heie ark other things necessary i
H Co the tilting MS our m a womamau duu uiwaj
like style. VVe hope to have the presence of
Aunt Dolly, and also her instructions as to
I use and wear, upon the occasion.
As a tenderer and a representative of my
comrades, I now offer to Aunt Dolly our sin
cere and heartfelt thanks ; for we are all single
anen, but one, and hope soon to have wives to
wear the ‘ hoops,” and babies who will nurse
the “dolls,” and have sense enough to know
what to do with the “tit.” Yours truly,
