] Two ladies', dressed in the highest and richest
style Of the prevailing fashions, met. One looked

Of Bengal tigress broke her parasol and fan all
to pieces in beating her over the head and face;
then went III with fist and CLAW, punching the other
in the face and breast tearing her shawl and bon
net of, her comb out, and her hair down: and
continuing her furious punishment until some men,
out Of the hundreds who had quickly assembled to
witness the extraordinary spectacle, interfered,
and took the beaten lady away, and into a neigh

lucky or unlucky enough to know either one Of the
ladies, and to define his position OF principle on
manly and warlike basis.
