LONDON, October 25.
FASHION has long been looked upon as a harpy of the most delusive kind: a recent melancholy instance, we hope will have a just weight with our fair readers not to follow it beyond the line of reason, as they may depend on it as a fact, that a most amiable young lady, whose name we conceal, out of respect to her family, and who was lately married, from the constant use of a preparation to change the colour of her hair, lost the use of her senses, and died raving mad, in the course of last week.
All heads now, which appear powdered, are supposed to be grey: and an immediate reduction in the price of starch is expected to take place, in consequence of the rejection of powder by the fair sex.
The celebrated Jack Keach, being summoned the other day, for debt, to the court of requests in Holborn, was asked the reason why he did not pay it? "Truly your worship, said he, matters have been very low with me for some time, but I am willing to work it out."
