It has bean observed that a man’s hat is sometimes called a tile, but that word seems much more applicable to the species of head-dress which ladies now use instead of a bonnet. This really is, as to size and shape, extremely like a tile, differing from one only in colour, and in being decorated with artificial fio .vers, foliage, and other embellishments, in place of the house-leek, litchens, and other forms of vegetation whioh commonly garnish a roof-tile in position. The fashionable covering of ladies heads may also be said to resemble a slate ; but it diflers irom both a slate and a tile in the disadvantages of not standing the weather, being spoiled by a very few drops of rain, to the sorrow of the husband or father, who has to replace it at considerable expense, if not much to the grief of the wearer, who gets a new coiffure. Regarding this thing, in connection with monstrous chignons, under the name of a slate, one cannot help observing that many girls appear to have a slate loose in the upper story.
