many fiirtations, and she likesit Look at that
splendid creature IN pink--she has already ex-
hausted three waltzing men, and Is now flirting
with thin youth IN the corner. He is telling
her that he is etFfor Newport tomorrow, and
wants bit Of her hair before he leaves. She
tries to look soTTv but is really thinking wheth-
CT he could give her a brown stone front in
good street and ten thousand a ycaT.
The daily life of the snob at the springs IS a
bout the same that Of the belle, if he is la
dies snob. He is her cavalier scrcient1, and re-
solves around her hoops. He Is treated as she
treats her lap dog, and Is thrown smile with
the same air that Fidele receives chicken bone.
