Caroline, dearest, where could her eyes and observation and sense of the fitness of things have been  with the example of the exquisite Parisiennes in front of her  to be able to perpetrate these incongruities! But there is more to come! CAROLINE DEAREST WHERE COULD HER EYES AND OBSERVATION AND SENSE OF THE FITNESS OF THINGS HAVE BEEN WITH THE EXAMPLE OF THE EXQUISITE PARISIANS IN FRONT OF HER TO BE ABLE TO PERPETRATE THESE INCONGRUITIES BUT THERE IS MORE TO COME
ll, but some abstract person; and let us dissect her bit by bit: her type, her style, her suitability--or want of it--her attitude and the general effect she produces. And then let me suggest the remedies and alterations which can improve her. Firstly, her type, Caroline, child, is not distinguished. She has a large-eyed, dear little profile, which may be very pretty as a full face, and which, framed in appropriately done hair, could succeed in being picturesque, but in itself, with its little snub features, is insignificant. She has rather a big head, and thick, bushy dark hair--which I grieve to observe she has done in a large bun of sausage curls!--a fashion which was never in vogue really among ladies, and for over two or three years has been relegated to the pates of “roof-garden” waitresses and third-class shop assistants. And further to provoke my ire, although this girl in the picture is drawn in an ordinary morning skirt and boots, she wears a light-colored ribbon in her hair!  GIRL I SEE BEFORE ME IS NOT YOU AT ALL BUT SOME ABSTRACT PERSON AND LET US DISSECT HER BIT BY BIT HER TYPE HER STYLE HER SUITABILITY OR WANT OF IT HER ATTITUDE AND THE GENERAL EFFECT SHE PRODUCES AND THEN LET ME SUGGEST THE REMEDIES AND ALTERATIONS WHICH CAN IMPROVE HER FIRSTLY HER TYPE CAROLINE CHILD IS NOT DISTINGUISHED SHE HAS A LARGE EYED DEAR LITTLE PROFILE WHICH MAY BE VERY PRETTY AS A FULL FACE AND WHICH FRAMED IN APPROPRIATELY DONE HAIR COULD SUCCEED IN BEING PICTURESQUE BUT IN ITSELF WITH ITS LITTLE SNUB FEATURES IS INSIGNIFICANT SHE HAS A RATHER BIG HEAD AND THICK BUSHY DARK HAIR WHICH I GRIEVE TO OBSERVE SHE HAS DONE IN A LARGE BUND OF SAUSAGE CURLS A FASHION WHICH WAS NEVER IN VOGUE REALLY AMONG LADIES AND OVER TWO OR THREE YEARS HAS BEEN RELEGATED TO THE PATES OF ROOF GARDEN WAITRESSES AND THIRD CLASS SHOP ASSISTANCE AND FURTHER TO PROVOKE MY EYRE ALTHOUGH THIS GIRL IN THE PICTURE IS DRAWN IN AN ORDINARY MORNING SKIRT AND BOOTS SHE WEARS A LIGHT COLORED RIBBON IN HER HAIR
