Extract of a letter from Paris, June 27.
The ladies of this our fanciful metropolis exceed, both in
fashion and folly, even those of London . . . Two ladies
eminently distinguished by rank, fortune, and bon gout, have
been the subject of general ridicule, merely for harbouring
in their curious bosoms the innocent desire of peeping into
futurity. The plan concerted between our heroines was, that
being decked in all the paraphernalia of diamonds, feathers,
and frivolity, (to form that evening the most sparkling
jewels of the opera) they were to make their coachman stop
at the Temple of Predictions, to consult with the Priestess.
. . [1/2 column, ladies tricked out of all finery and
clothing]
