Here is an eighteenth century fish
story. 1t is told in letter written by
traveller in Russia to a woman in
England. A vessel laden with the
latest fashions from Paris was run
down I'm the channel of st. Petersburg.
THE next day, the writer says. "a
salmon was caught in the Neva,
dressed in a white satin petticoat;
and in the same net were found two
large cod. with muslin handkerchiefs
round their necks. The sharks and
porpoises were observed in gowns OF
the latest taste; and hardly was
there fish that did not display some
of the freshest Partisan fashions that
ever visited the north.
