FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
A certain young and fashionable lady IN this
city, hearing that light hair, from golden to red,
was the fashion, Was in despair to think that
she was left out in the cold, her own hair be-
| ing very dark brown. What could she do?
At last, a bright idea occurred to her. She
went TO we'll known Broadway wig maker, MIR
B, had her hair entirely shaved of, pur
chased goldenhar wig, and the next day
appeared 10 all her glory, perfectly happy and
perfectly content, for she was sin the fashion"
A few days ago verdant youth, with his
blushing bride, arrived at Of Our fashion
able hotels. The head Of the family imnedi
ately registered his name Mr. Caleb Larkin
and lady, on bridal to,cer.
! AT party on Fifth avenue, the other even
ing, beautiful young lady was complimented
by gentleman the simplicity and good taste
OF her dress. IL am glad you like it, the
lady replied; II made it all myself, and it cost
just seuen dollars" When the bellies pride
themselves the cheapness Of their attire, in
stead OF its expensiveness, We shall hear of
| fewer failures among our business men.
! Two young "barons'' are being lionized in
this city at present. They express themselves
much surprised at the attention they receive in
American society, which is SO much more than
youths Of their age ever receive at home; but
American girls, We regret to say, always grow
enthusiastic over any titled foreigner. AT a
dinner party the other evening young lady,
thinking to be polite, rather annoyed one of the
Juveniles by asking him his title. "Baron
-" was the reply. Il know that" replied
the lady; "but have you no other title ct home?'
"Oh, yes" responded the Baron, "ma calls me
Bob"
We are sorry to say that in May beautiful
American heiress, a New York lacy, will be led
to the altar by Frerchman, Count de Some
body. 1t is really pity that many Of our
wealthiest ladies bestow their fortunes worth
less foreigners
| The English lady who recently was brought
before the police court by her father, celebra-

rived in this city where her husband, if he
drive four hand, will no doubt soon attain
an elevated position.
| A second Dean and Boxer affair is reported
up town. A lady we'll known in Leou monde
! has eloped with her fathers butler, and be, by
way Of SOUVENIR, took all the silver be could
