THREE EVENING GOWNS AND SOME JUMPER SUITS.

A VISIT AU PÉTIT LOUVRE.

I often wonder what is the peculiar fascination of exquisite clothes. Everyone, man and woman, old and young, foolish and wise, feels it; and, though perhaps we may envy her, somewhat, everyone likes to see a really well dressed woman. Even in the Bible the "raiment of needle work" of the King's daughter is spoken of a being one of the glorice of the realm.
