HINTS TO THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.
FOR THE YEAR 1809.
(from pages 320-22)
by "R. S. E."

[from page 321] ... Never alter your dress at this time [the Christmas holidays and boxing- day], but wear the worst of every thing you have; this, at times, may be convenient, and should therefore be attended to; not that I think your example, in this respect, will ever be followed by the vulgar, who like to have a new coat or gown at Christmas; for one of their maxins is, that "a proud back is better than a proud belly," yet at this season of the year especially, I believe they are fond of both.
