EVENING PARTIES.
''fhe system. of evening parties is q

your morning dress. A man is not the
same in his tight coat, and his feverish
glazed pumps, and bis stif white waist

frook, his old black ditto, or his wooden
JACKET. And man is doubly an ass Who
is in the habit Of frequenting evening
parties unless be Is forced thither in search
of lady to whom he Is attached, or un-
less he Is compelled TO go by his wife
a man who loves dancing may be set
down as an ass; aud the fashion Is greatly
gong out with the increasing good sense
of the age. Do not say that be who lives
at home, or fTe9ueuts clubs in lieu of balls,
is brute, and has not the proper respect
for the female sex; on tue contrary, be |

ing paid to the clothing of their arms and
legs. They should be kept warm and
not exposed.
It is a sad truth, one for which every
sensible mother should blush, that hun
dreds and thousands of little children an
nually perish from not being properly
dressed. The legs and arms, including
the feet and hands, more than any other
parts Of the body, need to be warmly clad.
These being the farthest removed from
the centre Of the circulation are with more
difficulty kept warm, and need an extra
amount Of clothing. IF the limbs are al
lowed to become chilled, the blood is
driven back from them, and the chest,
head or some other part becomes congest-
ed, and suddenly the frightened mother
finds her darling sick with an alarming
attack of Group, brain fever, lung fever or
bowel complaint, which is almost sure to
terminate in DEATH Chicago Journal.
