mamma Us extremely unsettled; she ID al
ways on the go, and the house Is always
tuli OF young people, and everybody enjoys
it but me; while Evle, only SIX years old,
dressed within an inch OF her lite. IN wide
sashes, founces, embroideries, and SO forth,
puts in her pert little tongue on all occe-
sions, and Frank, eight years old, sits up at
the drawing room window, ~ chats TO every
body he pleases. Really, n these days
children are "out" from the time they make
their debut IN their superbly Embroidered
christening robes; and these little men and
women associate together in their small So

and plumed hats, and short frocks, ruffled
pantalcttes, and fats, with the unrestrained
freedom of such extreme youth, showing off
in mamma's drawlng-room. as part of the
establishment, and receiving, with exemplary
eortitude, the sque,zes and caresses which

fore the world as bellies and beaux. Evie
and Frank are in the first stage of young
lady and gentlemanhood, and while they
stay in the drawing room, have to rush up
stairs to the library. o, will the 29th of
November ever come.
Heigh-ho! there goes the breakfast bell.
flnish my toilet in somewhat of a hurry,
for am determined | will never have a
maid to stick pins in me, and pull my hair,
and watch everything do,&5 tell some body
else's maid. Oh, noj so ] dress myself |
always like breath of fresh air before 90
down stairs in the mornings; so | raise my
window and look out. What lovely
morning it is: 0fcourse. l think of Charlie
and apprRos Of my thoughts here he comes,
3ufing his cigar. How handsome he looks,
with bis brown hair waving over his brow,
