great company or men sitting as in

some very grave and leamedr'discoui's

While ever and anon, one who sat in a

looked and taw a person, in one of the '

husily engaged in trimming and shape- J

called bills, according to her own lik-
" I took notice, that it mat tend
not of what form these bill, wi re
when brought in; they were cither
shaped according to (he pleasure of the
power at work; or (f made of too
stubborn materials for this they were
wholly rejected. The name which
this person bore iu the Great Hatt.was
popularity but me thought, I .aw that
it was no other than the minister of
fashion, disguised for her purpose, in a
home spun republican garb, shaping
laws, and regulating public measures
with the tame arbitrary caprice, with
which she prescribed the cut of a coat,
or the dimension, of a lady', indispen-
sable. When this company ol public
