In the first one, a table already set glittered with ware in glass and precious metals ; in the second, a mass of pink plush and fairy-like lace bespoke a bed ; in the third were chairs, a lounge, and footrests which had the appearance of having been brought from a Ptolemaic palace only yester day; and on these, strewn with an eye to artistic effect, lay fans and shawls for which the harem- queens of Persia and Hindostan might have con tended. The crown-jewel " of this latter apartment, however..., was undoubtedly a sheet of copper bur nished to answer the purpose of a looking-glass with a full-length view. On stands next the mirror, was a collection of toilet necessaries.
