In thooo days all they wonted was fine rooms in which to trail thoir, drossos, piazzas for daily promonading, and sweeping ciroular staircasos, with long corridors, which formed dim vistas of vonishing muslin, sitk, and laco. The United Btatea is said to have had a quixotic ides of rostoring thoso old timos; of inducing tho woman who wvisits Saratogs to become & Indy onco more; to open protty morning drossos aver ombroiderod petticonts ; to chungo this for riding or walking attira ; thls for an olo- wnt dinver robo, and the robo again for tho ighter ovening or ball drass.
