DIAMOND QUEENS IN AMERICA.

A correspondent of a Now York paper possips in this interesting if not voracious: . fashion:—The cynosure of all eyea,'aa, she sat on the Stockton porch the other 1 : evening, in full glare of the electric light, and literally ablaze witli diamonds, was Mrs Albert Moore, of Philadelphia. The evening in question the lady, who dresses most gorgeously, and has nover so far this season repeated a coßtunie, wore a pala blue silk, shrouded with old point laoe.' About hor neck was a superb ohaia of diamonds, diamonds of equal spliflour glistoned in her ears, and oilier wrista and fingers, and amid tho * dark treßses of her hair. At hor ' feet, as she sat, lay the famous Irish wolfhound which had taken so many first ■ prizes, and which Mr Moote values at 6000 dollars (£1250) and on her lap was a graceful Italian greyhound. It was, on the whole a pioture which caused moat Btrollors.by to pause and admire. It iA said that Mrs Moore' has selected frolu her jewel case, leaving it by uo means empty, 80,000 dollars (£20,000) worth of diamonds alone, which eho brought with her. Another diamond queen is sojourning at Stockton. The laay, who owns a superb collootion of the purest gems, is Mrs. M. Stoinhardt, of New .York, the wife of a baker. She lias an exceedingly attractive face, and a tall, graceful figure. A few evenings since she walked into the supper room wearing a canary-coloured silk, with garnitures of white point > d'Alecon, and a full, Bet, necklace, tirar, &c., of largo diamonds, .- Sho I carriod & fan of loosoly-gathqred. . y ostrich feathers, which her anhid Ms from her as she walked into the difflg- ' room and handed to' her again as sho swept like an empress out of it, throwing at the same time a web of rare lace*over'" her shoulders, Mrs Stoinhardt is fond of bathing, Hor .cOstume is a pale blue' serge, the shades blonding so softly that they resemble the scales of _a 'fish,--now dark, and- now shining like'silver intha. light. . ~
