locks . 250
One lady's travelling trunk, with cover,
containing a quantity of worn dresses,

Totul . $21,000
It is very easy to say that u wardrobe like that
enumerated in this schedule is extravagant;
but the tact is the list scarcely gives a full
idea of the extravagance of American toilettes.
$21,000 is an immense sum to have invested in
clotliiuc; but it must be remembered that the
original cost of these articles was much more
than $21,000. Many of these dresses, shawls,
bonnets, aud other portions of tho young
lady s' csstunies had been more or less worn,
ami toe prices affixed only represent their
values at the time tliey were burned, which is
all that the loser has the lieht to recover. For
example, "nine pairs ot boots and shoes" would
be very cheap at $15; a "dust wrapper rrom
uuttimero" couift naroiy no pure uased ior sis;
"lour mtiguincent opera clonus" arc valued at
$185. when one of them would have cost that
sum if new; cloth cloaks at $8, $10, and $12,
must have .been much used to be worth only
that amount of mouev. No lashioi:able milli
ner could sell "four bonnets, some exceedingly
elegant," for $400, but would churee as much
tor one elegant bonnet, it is evident, then,
that to get at the real cost ol the wardrobe of
a young lady of lasuion in this metropolis, we
must add several thousand dollars to the
amount claimed. The articles when first pur
chased must have cost at least $30,000.
We lean, from this schedule that to make a
figure in the fashionable world a young lady
requites twenty-six robes of silk and satin, two
of velvet, twenty-four dresses of poplin, cash
mere, grenadine, and Swiss and India muslin,
with undeokirts and bodies of silk; nine jackets
to wear over these dresses in the house; seven
teen cloaks, mantillas, and capes lor out-door
wear; htteeu muslin skirts, besides the under
skirts already enumerated; twenty-one ets of
flounces and canes of lace, of all qualities, from
Houiton to Maltese; aud, in addition to all
these, u quantity of woru dresses, cloaks, aud
iuckets too numerous to mention. We must
take into consideration, moreover, the fact thai
the lady was piobubly not deprived ot all her
clothmu by the tire. The schedule shows what
she lost; but we have no means of uxconaininir
what ehe saved..
Yet it is only by getting at this own unknown
quantity that we shall be able to realize the
lull extent of the young lady's requirements.
At present we really lcei that tne list we publish
does her some iniustice. Twenty-six silk robes
and twenty-four other dresses would not t-atisfy
any but the most reasonable aud economical
Flora McFlimsey. Ihere are nouses in the
Filth avenue tbut could reveul much more ex
tensive wardrobes. The jewels and jewelry,
too, which cost more heavily than dresses, us
many a husband and father knows, are not set
down iu this list, which must consequently be
pronounced inadequate. S'ill it will serve to
convey to the uninitiated and to posterity some
conception of the expenses of American lash
lonuble lite.
