Young Matrons.

The presence of young married la dies
at entertain ments adds charm to the
evening of peculiar dignity. The cour-
tesies extended to them by their gentle
men friends do not clash with the atten-
tions paid to the unmarried ones. A
Young person of either sex cannot have
a better guide, philosopher, and friend"
10 any social emergency, than married
lady. Their interest in one being purely
piatouic, and not obscure or biased by
the glamour of the tender passion, they
are always able to give advice on tender
questions involving the use of consum-
mate tact and discretion, and without
which q laundering man would make
dreadful mess of bis affairs. Then again,
thereis repose and serenity about the
manner of the young matron which rem
ders conversation with her at once free
from possible embarrassment The gid
diness, frivolity and loquscity of "sweet
sixteen" while although temporarily
charming, is apt to become fatiguing,
lacking the culture and sdvoir fdire that
years bring. Marriage, however, has the
effect of settling all these sediments in the
female character more or less, snd ss the
current of life runs smoother with them,
at least for time, they can talk Of some
other subject than the everlasting one of
sweethearts, besux and matrimony.
There is subdued softness Of demeanor,
too, in the young matron which the belle
of the season does not have. The exhil-
GRAFTON and excitement incident to a
successful career as young girl, which
