Some of tho young nobles of the Austrian Court are about to make a gift to tho German Empress Augusta Victoria of a fan formed of the feathers of the mountain cock. The handle is to be set with jewels of great splendour. It appears that of late the belles of Vienna have introduced the fashion of carrying a fan mado of the feathers of birds shot by their admirers, an ideal one recording the skill cf sixty or seventy sportsmen. Having opened up 110 cases of drapery and clothing, ex s.s. Aorangi and Coptic, which consist of the most elegant and well-selected shipment of Mantles, Ulsters, and Jackets to be seen in tho Southern Hemisphere, we invite the ladies of Wellington to come and inspect for themselves. C.Srnith, Cash Draper, Cuba street.
