PORTRAIT OF A LADY.
[One of the London shops announces a epeoial lino in women'B shoes of shark or python, skin.] To furnish the frock that this lady is wearing The yield o£ the silkworm, was taken in tow; Her gloves »yere by equally skilfully preparing -■ Produced from the hide of the reindeer or doe; Her furs from the beaver she borrowed, nor rested Content that her toll should be ended at that— Still feeling the call of the wild she divested The ostrich of feathers to garnish her .hat. Th« tendency grows more than ever de- . cided, New animal trophi»a embellish the street; ' For it Beems that a. shark or a python provided The shoes that she wears on her elegant feet. Thus wider the tribute she takes to astound us, Until one might wonder (I certainly do), With bits of the animal kingdom all round us. Now why should one worry to visit the Zoo? —Luoio. Manchester "Guardian."
