Camel's-Kair Cashmere.

A new product of the loom called
camel's-hair cashmere, says fashion
journal, bears away the palm for soft
ness and fineness, and will probably be
the choice of the season for over dress
es. This is almost as closely twilled as
French cashmere, but has the rough
lustreless surface of camel's-hair, with
its many loosely woven feecy ends, and
its righteousness SO pleasant to the
touch. 1t represents all the stylish tints
of slate-color, dark blue, olive, brown,
tea, gray, and myrtle green; it is double
fold, and costs 1926 yard. An imita-
ton of this fabric is sold for 81. 70.
jacquard striped cashmeres showing
reversed diagonal lines that form mar
row stripes cost 81 yard. Single
width French cashmeres OF admirable
quality are S5 cents yard these are
preferred to double-width goods when
bought for whole suit. Double-width
cashmeres sold for over dresses cost
from 81. 25 to 1926 yard; four or five
yards are required for a polonaise.
Myrtle green cashmere, so dark that the
color is almost invisible, finds favor,
even at this early day, for polonaises to
be worn throughout the fall and winter.
Dark blue cashmere is also being sold
for this purpose, and merchants antici-
pate that these colors will rival the iron
gray and mdrrOn brown over dresses
that are now so popular.

A Room Full.

Saratoga is to have another large
hotel, to be erected near the white
sulphur springs. This arrangement for
increased accommodations must, indeed
be necessary if many of the visitors are
accompanied by such an array of pets
as one lady of whom we have heard.
She has nine singing birds, one parret,
one tame dove, one peacock, six dogs,
nine cats (some of which are kittens),
two squirrels, two goldfish, three tur-
ties, and a young alligator. Among
the dogs is a black-and-tan, weighing
only two and halfpeunds, for which she
paid $75. We are given to understand
that the owner of this menagerie is only
abiding at the springs for the season..
but we are forced to believe that this is
resident.

He dined with us !" papa replied;
Pray what has that to do with it ?"
Why, nothing, Sir but then, you know,
We tried to see if it would fit;
And then we couldn't get it off,
Although we tried, and tried. AID tried "
" Poor child I'll take it off at once"
With tenderness papa replied.
With bushes Kitty hung her head:
Oh no, papa! because, you see,
Sam said if something I'd give him,
Why, he would give the ring to me-"
Oh! ah ~ replied papa" indeed!
