There are some very pretty but u1'

The first look is necessary to define tho
person of the individual one meets, so as
to avoid hefsin passing. Any unusual at!
traction discovered in a first glance Is
sufficient apology for the second-not d
prolonged and impertinent stare, but an
approaching homage Of the eyes, such as
stranger may inotfensively yield to a
passing image. 1t is astonishing how
morbidly sensitive some vulgar beauties
are to the slightest demonstration of this
kind. When lady walks the streets
she leaves her virtuous Indignation coun-

that the street is picture gallery, where
