A lady who recently arrived in this
city from Japan, where her husband is
fiourishing physician, has had most
amusing experience. Before leaving
Toxic she purchased material for a
travelling dress, for which she paid 81 so
per yard. She had it fashioned into a
garment, and proceeded blissfully on
her journey. Arriving in San Francisco,
she found the fabric Of which her dress
was composed was selling for 81 per
yard. Her appreciation Of il therefore
decreased one-third. At Salt Lake City
the same article was selling for 60 cents,
and she began to think that she did not
look at all stylish. When she reached
Chicago she found 1t displayed in the
shop windows with the announcement.
Only 30 cents She began then to
consider it common, but when from her
carriage window as she proceeded up
Third Avenue, New York, she beheld Il
flaunting in the breeze in front Of a
third-rate shop, with a soiled card
pinned to IL. on which was Inscribed the
legend, "15 cents" she concluded that
Il was vulgar. She could endure Il no
longer She gave II to the chamber
maid at the hotel, and then proceeded
at once TO Stewards and bought new
travelling suit TO come to Boston with
Boston Courier.
