morning. your fashionable ladies are going through
labor In the search OF pleasure which the strong
pursuit. OF money making or business And they
have their reward. The fresh rudy lively girls OF
February or March are the faded stless, apathetic
Jaued anu utterly WORKOUT young women that we
see IN July at the opera or the park and In the ball
room. sat next to one of these young women at
concert the other night She told me that with the
exception OF Sundays she had never for the past
three weeks been to bed before four O'Clock A. NJ
She c0nfessed--laughingly but truly to a '.mldile
aged iogy'' like myself-that when her maid called
her at eleven A. NJ 1t was as much IS she could do
70 get up and that were II not for her cold bath and
ner anxiety not 10 miss her ride In the park nom
noon to TWO p. M. she never would be able TO dress
ut all. The canter in the PARK, she sa.d did her
two O'Clock luncheon. THIS luncheon meal, which
not very old men and women can remember as
being mere rejection Of biscuit and wine, is now
the votaries OF fashion. 1t is solid. they
bring an appetite to 1t, and 1t Is without ceremony.
RECEPTIONS.
After luncheon tho fashion Is TO receive visitors.

the lst OF April and that day
USEFUL HINTS.
TO change before conclude my letter from things
fashionable To things rascaly, should like to note
Tor the information OF Americans coming to London
so AS TO put them upon their guard the latest thing
IN stealing, friend OF mine was coming from the
opera the otner night In four-wheeled cab accom-
panied by his wife. In order to take a short cut
the driver passed up through some small by Streets
In one OF which hand was thrust into the cab
ut either OF the two windows, quantity
OF pepper was thrown In the eyes Of my friend and
his vile, and before they could recover from their
watch, chain and shirt buttons, and her bracelets
necklace, watch and chain had been wrenched
away, the thieves making Off with them. Pray re-
mark That the thieves never caused the cab TO stop
Tor moment, but ran on all the time by Its side.
The fact Is robberies by force are becoming daily
more and more common In London, and If things
progress as they are doing We shall all have TO go
about armed AT night The dangerous classes" as
they are very properly called seem to Increase IN
numbers like rabbits and To have got quite the upper
hand OF the police, for the present at any rate.
