HARMONIOUS SOCKS.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TRESS. Sir, — A correspondent writing in yesterday's Pkess wonders "if hard times come along and one of our young women gets married to a young man who wants his socks to match tho colour of his trousers, what tho end of it all will lie." Of course, it's rather obvious that thu young women are getting husbands who are beginning to sliow the rudiments of art in their dress, and tho matching of tho colours in their garments shows this. What I often wonder is. how am 1 going to get on with a wife who "does" her face up to match goodness only knows what? but who nevertheless doeß manage to dress daintily and look charming, in suito of her chalked face, which looks as if it would crack if sho smiled, or which gives promise of creating a dust storm if sho blushed. However, I think niy brothers and myself arc to bo congratulated that we now have socks, ties, mid handkerchiefs which match perfectly, and all of which go nicelv with our suits. But, Sir. in spite of nil this prettincss, wo are not dudes altogether, for underneath we "hnvo tho muscle" as nny of your renders may sec for themselves at New Brighton or Sumner.—Yours, etc., TWENTY.
