A youth living on Baeg street rolled an apnlo

velopmcnts, and they soon came. 4 sawdust

down and took q long look at the barrel. He
probably reasoned that it had been delivered BY
q grocer, and he doubtless wondered why it
had not b+cn rolled into the cellar. Dusk was
coming on, and tile man drove OF III quar-

RENTED COSTUMES.

We have abundant reason to believe that the
business of letting costumes to ladies for So
cicty occasions is a very brisk one at certain
seasons Of the year. And VIC cannot see that
there is anything very reprehenslb1e in this
either to the lady that borrows or she that let's,
as 'tsociety" is now conducted. On extra fash
ionable occasions ladies' are expected to appear
in gorgeous array, even in something that they
have not before worn: and it is nothing uncom-
mon for lady to e1pend from $500 to $1,000
for single ball or other party, aud never again
wear the same costume on q like OCCASION
Now, II such a costume can be hired for hun
dred dollars or go, it is 4 great saving to the
poor husband, and the outward requirements
