There are two new fashions now in favor IN
/ Paris among those who have leisure to think Of
such things. No. j. 70 keep the mouth slight

which case the desired result is arrived at to
perfection. No. IS supposed to have been In
vented by admirers Of the classic. It consists in
carrying small snake rolled around the arm or
in the bosom, after the fashion Of Cleopatra, in
her last moments. Mademoiselle Pierson, hand
some actress Of the Gymnase, recently appeared
with green and gold monster wriggling around

The last product Of the lively brain Of Meslames

brownstone mansion in the fashionable quarter
between Fifth AID Madison avenues, for which,

they are farnis ing it, sumptuousy and with

Of Chamberlain's or Morri,sey's is to pale be-
fore this female clubhouse. From the fact
that there is to be a stock iudicatorin the house.

Of the operators in the new field for woman's in

lunches, and other accommodations not strictly
pertaining to stock speculation. There the wo-
