a',THAoKERAY ON DANCING PARTIES
The system Of evening parties is false
aud absurd one. Ladies may frequent
them professionally with an eye to hus-'
band, but man is fool who takes wife
out, of such. assemblies, having no other
means, of judging q of the object of his
choice. -b You are not the same person in
your white Grape and satin slip as you are
in your morning-dress, A man is not tho
same in his tight coat and ieverished glazed
pumps. and stiff white wais,coat as he is ,
IN his green, double breasted. frock.; his
old black ditto, or his woo'en jacket.
And man' is doubly a fool who is in the
habit Of frequeutipg evening parties, unless
he is forced tbither in search of a lady to
whom he is attached, OK unless be is CON-
PEELED to go by his wife. , A man who
loves dancing may be set down to be a
fool; and the fashion is greatly going out
with the increasing good sense of the age.
Do not say that he who lives at home, or
-frequents clubs in. lien Of balls, is brute,
and has not a proper respect for the female
sex; on The contrary, he may respect it
most sincerely. He feels that a woman
appears to the most advantage not among
those whom she cannot care about, but
among those whom sha loves. He thinks
her beautiful when she is at home making
tea for her old father. He believes her to
