SOMETHING HAEDsoME.-Among the MANY
works of taste and ingenuity from the fair
hands OF the gentler sex, and in position as
.unostentatious and retiring as the deposi tor.

neat and elegant specimen Of plated pa9er
work 1t is lsdy's bonnet Of chaste We. at
raetlye appearance, durable structure and
manIesung skill and genius 10 the make,
deserving more attention than the obscurity Of
its position will be likely to receive. The

broidery, In the upper room, representing a
monument and weeping willow, is from the
hands Of Mrs. Peter T. Marceron, Capitol

tai work on very reasonable terms II is out
justice 10 rnobtrusiye merit, TO call attention
10 those works, and as the bonnet in paIt:c ,lar
is likely TO escape ordinary inspection, we re
commend it 70 lady visitors as worthy their
notice, and its retiring fsbrisator as deserving
their patronage.
