SHABBINESS.
' Hearth and Home' is a magazine
specially devoted to the interests of indies in the fashionable world of divss and pastime. Photographs of the fair votaries of golf, tennis, &c, are given from time to time, and also the most notable of the dresses worn at the Queen's Drawing-rooms and other groat functions. Mrs Talbot Coke, in one of her delightful articles, says of shabbiness—' It is amazing how many unpleasant things in this world are fitly described by the word shabbiness. Meanness is shabby ;so is slander ; so, also, above all, is tha ridiculous failing of jealousy ; m fact, the only time shabbiness is really welcome is when it just adds the touch of genuineness to some old possession in the bric-a-brac line, or the cachet of twine of some old " binding."
