About two months ago NJ. de Rhet-, a gentle.
mqn of large property in the neghborhood Of this
city-on leaving the theatre after a performance
of the Etoile du Nord, picked up white satin
shoe On examining it he found that it must have
been made for Il foot remarkably small and ele
CANT. He asked the box keepers if any one had
announced the loss of the shoe but W as answered
in the negative. He took it home with him The
more he saw it the more he admired it =; and he
jumped to the conclusion that the owner, having
small foot, was. in all probability, extremely
beautiful He showed the shoe TO all his friends
and acIuanances and caused them to make in.
quiries after the owner. But he could gain no
clue to her. AT last it struck him that, as the
person who had lost it could not have walked
home, he might gain some information from the
cab drivers. After eight days spent in inquiry
he found driver who remembered having driven
young woman who had lost her shoe IN the Rue
Thomas>in. NJ. de Rhet thereupon made in
quries at every house in that street; and he at
length discovered young work woman who
bushingly confessed that the shoe was hers. As
he anticipated, he found that she was rcmarka-
bly, beautiful. and on inquiry he learned that her
character was very good. He fell in love with
her. aud as his propositions were honorable, the
girl listened to him. A few days ago they were
married.
