lby notice in a Trenton paper, which we have in
serted, to mandatory OF ladies' and gentIeman's
that's from the shear grass and yesterday afternoon
1--we called at S88 Broadway, for the purpose Of ex-
Iamlning these specimens of female ingenuity and
Industry. Miss St. Martin had none on hand, in
finished state but IS now engaged in collecting
Igrass, the proper season for which will be over in
flew days. We however saw some of the braid
which in hneness and beauty is not surpassed by inn
lported Leehorns This young lady obtained her
Il knowledge and skill in this kind of manufactures
from Italian artists in Philadelphia; and expressed
her readiness to give instr uctons to others, wishing
Ito become acquainted with the art, which can be
acquired in a few weeks, and at small expense.
The process ofprepariug the materials by bleach.
ling in the dew, and of working them into hats, is
lsimple, and the staple costs little or nothing, A
lady may gather sufficient quantity of grass for a
lLeghorn IN few minutes, and with as little trouble
las she would collect bouquet. 1t is believed that
iyoung ladies in different parts of the country, who
Hook to their own industry for support, would find
lit profitable to learn the trade and establish man
lufactories in this and other states 1t will be recol.
llected that this business has already become exten-
