Did you see how she jookedatme? asked tlie first. 'At you! ' replied his epigrammatic friend, ; Didn't-I cateh her eye three times? !

'-Blue and. green,' sneered a third—'splendid taste, 1 'She's got meeihair,' remarked Mr A. , * Wonder how much of it is her own,' responded his wife, -''That dress must have cost as much as four dollars a< yard,' was comment of a young lady in the next seat, ' For my part I don't Bee what folks want to rig out so at a concert. 1 said the young lady's mother; 'nobody would doit that was anybody.'
