A New IrEM IN FASHIONABLE LIFE
IN BosroN N-The Boston Herald has
the following:
A few weeks since, about the let Of
the year 1853, IL young married lady,
residing in Dover street, called nt
store, where among, ether articles,
! linen is sold. The lady wa' politely re-
criysd at Nc store, and made, we un-
ders land, il few small purchases. After
she had paid Tor The articles 20 pur-
| chased, she was ihv;cd by the senior
| par ncr OF the shop to walk TO the
farther end OF the place, where he in
very unbccomipg manner accused her
of stealing and forthwith proceeded TO
-carch her, hut found nothing Of his
upon her, and then, without apologies
ing, allowed her 10 depart. The lady
was so overwhelmed with the accusation
Of he shopn an, that she was taken
SICK with the fever, and Tor Two or
three ~sess was confined TO her room
with very dangerous illness.
The shopnan. during her illness,
heard Of it and ii la reported that while
III. lady was sick, hc sent n noe to her,
in which he made lame apology for
his rudcncss and asked pe-mlsson TO
call h, the house and 10 further e. plais
the matter. no notice of the note was
taken until one day last week, the lady
having recovered from her illness "A
note was sent 10 the " dealer IN diaper"
tina, he lady worlI sec hun. On the
appointed evening the friends, neigh
bors, and associates o. the family were
assembled in The lr)nt parlor OF her re-
sI!ence, which was brilliantly lighted.
hnoai s O'Clock The shopinan arrived
and Was politely received by the hus-
band of he lady, and ushcrd into the
back par0r, where he WAS seated, WHEN
some ten minutes after the folding doors
between tie two parlorS were thrown
open, and blaze o. light mel his as.
tonished gaze. as well as numerous
aSscmbage Of the beauty and fashion Of
Dover street. At lh;s moment the hus-
band OF ihe lady s'eprcd forward and
calling Tire shopman by name in,rJduc-
ed hlm TO the ladies' present as The
gentleman who had accused his vile Of
stealing aud who was the cause OF her
late dangerous illness. The LADIES' ara
gcniIcmrn present gazcd at the fellow
Tor few minutes, when the gentleman
of the house opened tho street door, one
OF the yonng ladies then commenced
upon the rlano.torle the rogne's march.
Tie store keeper took the hint and sud.
denly disappeared from the house.
We have reason to believe that some
time will elapse ere ne accuses another
customer OF larceny. His shop is
marked and numbered, and will be re-
nenhered and avoided by all who were
present on the occasion. - BoSi. Hcrnid.
