Gossip fer the Ladies'.

THIS weeks copy Of Harper's Bszdr contains
portraits OF the two ladies who have recently
gone into business in New York, as bankers and
brokers, under the firm name of Woodruff,
Clafin Il Co." They ale spoken of as sisters"
but their faces differ, decidedly, In style. Mrs.
Victoria c. Woodruff looks TO be the elder she
has dark and somewhat heavy eyebrows, large
and rather aquilne nose, and clean cut, we'll
closed mouth. No doabt her complexion is dark,
and her handsome upper lip is possibly not free
from that extent of moustachio which ladies lips
sometimes bear. Her glance Is forward and
downward; II the firm of Woodruff, Claiiin Il
Co. do any thinkipg, doubtless the senior partner
undertakes the work. Mrs. Tennie c. Caflin
has, evidently lighter hair, though her picture
shows enormous rolls on the top of her head,
which do not grow there at all her eyebrows
are shorter, and her ear not so comprehensive;
the nosc Is scarcely to be called aquiline the
chin Is roundef and tho mouth has fuller and no
doubt reddcr lips. But the owner could bid more
quickly in the stOck-room, or execute an order
with more brilliant promptness during struggle
on 'Chnnge, than her senior. The Bdsnr pro-
voki1gly gives us no details as 10 the history of
| these enterprsing women, whether they are nicr,
or otherwise; so We must be content Tor the pre-
sent with this analysis OF their portraits.
