“A woman, who up to the time
of our going to press had not
been identified, was found dead
yesterday morning on a door-step
in Thirty - fourth street.
The deceased evidently wandered
from some of the poorer wards
in search of employment, and
from her emaciated condition it
is probable she had not tasted food for several days.
It is thought that poverty and starvation caused her
death. The body, scantily clothed in a few rags,
lies unclaimed in the Morgue.”

But
“Mrs. Livingstone's elegant and
fashionable reception and german,
at her palatial Fifth avenue mansion
on Monday evening, was too
gorgeous for description. Many
of the ladies' toilets came from
Worth's, and cost fabulous sums,
and the flowers which draped the
rooms—all rare exotics—must have
cost a small fortune. Among the guests sparkling
with jewels was Mrs. Lawrence, whose bridal trousseau,
when she was married last week, is said to have cost
the occasion, some of them costing as high as $20
per bottle, astonished even the connoisseurs.”
