A few months ago a young gentleman of gr at wealth, superior tal-j ind handsome accidentally formed her acquaintance in the a business transaction.

At one of the rereni watering place balls, the most striking and pronounced ol toilettes was worn by a stately Georgian girl whose summers could not have exceeded twenty, but who carried herself with the air of a woman of forty. Her dress consisted of a irain of white velvet, lulling not the waist, but from the shoulders, and trailing its slow length along.

It was without sleeves, but wos held over the shoulders by cluster-clasps of large diamonds. The arms were bare, and polished as those of the statue of Praxiteles, as was also the face and neck and bust. Her hair was powdered with pearl, and dressed in style, but instead of blue ribbon usually employed in the making up ol that superb coiffure a rircle of diamond star-clusters was substituted. The clippers were of white kid, and had diamond buckles, fastening blonde and satin bo ws. No gloves or bracelets were worn, nought broke the magnificent sweep from the plump, round shoulder to the Dps of the taper fingers.

Altogether the costume was a model of richness, simplicity, and every good and petfeet thing but modesty. Value of Southern Bank. Notes.
