in the name Of the horse, whose tail she has
perverted. from its use to the making OF

Yours very truly,
CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN."

psrtist families are at present at work on &
carpet which they intend to offer as a New
Years present to the Empress Eugene
This carpet is composed of squares of fin,
embroidery, each the size of a carte-de- visit,

that very few squares will be worked for
by the ladies of Alsace and Loraine.-TPari
