BEAUTIFUL WINDOW BLrSDs.-For my private in
teectual paror, where write all those articles on
religion, womaa, and phiosophy-thc Wall street
reports are written in midst Of vulgar busting
verdi am getting set OF beautiful window blinds,
called "diaphonous" which are the most exquisite
things ever looked upon. They are aspeces ofiumi-
mated pcturespciureso fbirds of trees and Of para
disc ITSELF illuminated by the light of day. The rays
of the morning sun, coming through these blinds,
purged of all their vulgarity aud nsolence-thcy be-
come mellow, soft, sweet, enchanting, and resemble
the light that flung It's beaueous beams over the gar
den OF Eden on the morning Of the creation.
Doyle, one of the mmorials, who keeps an office
| at No. Beekman street, is the genius who brings
orward these beautiful creations. They arc exquisite
and worth looking al. Ladies go.
