The system OF evening parties, then,
Is a false and absurd one. Ladies' may
frequent them professionally with an
eye to husband lbut a man is an ass
who ia Ses wife out ofsuch assembl
having no other means OF Judging OF
the object Of his choice. You are not
the same person In your white Grape
and satin slip as you aresin morning
dress. A man is not the same in his
tight coat and feverish glazed pumps,
and stitf white waist-coat, as he is his
q cen, double -bFeaSted Efrock, his old
black ditto or his ,woolen jacket. A
man Is doubly an ass who is in the
habit Of frequenting evening parties,
unless he is forced thither. in search of
a lady tofWhom he is attached, OF un-
less he Is compelled to go by his wife.
A man who loves dancing may be set
down to be an ass; and the fashion Is
greatly going ont with the increasing
good sense of the Rge.ls Do not say that

has not proper respect for the female
sex; on the contrary, he may respect 1t
most sincerely. He feels that woman
appears to most advantage, not among
those whom she cannot care about, but
among those whom she loves. He
thinks her beautiful when she is at
home making tea for her old father.
He believes her to be charming when
she is singing a simple song at her
piano, but not when she Is screeching at
an evening party. he thinks by far the
most valuable part of heris her heart;
hearti and a kind, simple heart, my
dear, shines in conversation better than
the best OF wit. He admires her best
in her intercourse with Ter family and
her friends, and detssts the, miserable,
twaddling slipsop that he Is obliged to
hear from and utter to her in the course
