VERS DE SOCIETE.
Loves Young Dream--A. ID. 1871.
BY GEORGE A. BAKER, JR.

"Thank you-much obliged, old boy!
Yes, it's so report says true,
Pm engaged to Nell Latino
What else could fellow do?
Governor was getting fierce
Asked me with paternal frown,
When tmeant to go to work,
Take wife, and settle down?
Stormed at my extravaganza,
Talked of cutting off supplies
Fairly bullied me, you know;
Sort of thing that despise.
Then he'd pause, and sip his wine;
And remark, he'd never seen
Any girl that pleased him more
Than that younger Miss Latino.
Well, you know, | lost worst way
At the races-Governor ragged -
So, to sort of smooth him down,
went off and got engaged.
Sort of put-up thing, you see
All arranged with old Latino
Nelly raved about it first,
Says her 'pa was aacful mean"
Now it's done we don't much mind
Tell the truth, Pm rather glad;
Looking at it every way,
One must own it isn't bad.
She's quite pretty, rather rich;
Mother left her quite pile;
Dances, goes out everywhere;
Fine old family, real good style.
Then she's good, as girls go now
Some idea of wrong and right,
Don't let every man she meets
Kiss her on the self-same night.
Jove! the way some girls will act,
Who've been out year or two!
Don't know what they d blush to hear;
What they wouldn't say and do.
We don't do affection much;
Nell and l are real good friends;
Call there often; sit, and chat;
Take her round and, there it ends.
Spooningl Well, l tried it once
Acted like an awful calf
Said really loved her;
You should just have heard her laugh!
Why she ran me for month;
Teased me till she made me whince;
"Mustn't flirt with her!" she said,
So, haven't done it since.
'IfUouId be pleasant to be loved
AS you read about in books
Mingling souls, and gentle eyes
Love, and that, in their looks;
Thoughts of you, and no one else;
Voice that has tender ring;
Sacrifices made, and-well-
You know-all that sort of thing.
All that's worn-out talk, they say
nn1tr seegny OF II now v-sz
Spooning on your fancee
Isn't good style, anyhow.
Just suppose that one of us
Nell and me, you know-some day,
Gets like that, on some one else,
Might be rather awkwark l-eh
All in earnest, like the books
Wouldn't it be awful rough
Jove! if but pshaw what bosh
Nell and l are safe enough.
Take place in the Spring, I think;
You'll be there, and wish me joy?
Be groomsman, if you like;
Lots of fun. Goodbye, old boy"

SORTS OF WOMEN.

There are two kinds Of gentlemen's fa-
vorites-the bright women who amuse
them. and the sympathetic ones who love
them. But these last are of doubtful
what country people call "cbancy" kind
women who show their feelings too open
", who fall into love too seriously, or per
haps unasked altogether, being more like
ly to irritate aud disgust than to charm.
But the bright, animated women. who
know how to talk and do not preach, who
say innocent things in an audacious way,
and audacious things in an innocent way
who are clever without pedantry, frank
without imprudencc, quick to follow a lead
when shown them. and who know the diff
ference between badinage and earnestness,
flirting and serious intentions these are
the women liked by men, and whose So
cial success in no wise depends on their
beauty.
A gentleman favorite of the right sort
must, among other things. be we'll up in
the accidence of flirting, and know how to
take it at exactly its proper value. She
must be able to accept broad compliments,
or more subtle love- making. without either
too serious an acceptance or too grave d
depreciation This is a great art, and
one that more than any other, puts men
at their ease, and sets the machinery Of
pleasant intercourse in harmonious action
Never to show whether she is really hit
or not; never to give a fop occasion for
a boast, or an empty room for plying
sneer; to take everything in good part,
and to be as quick in giving as in receiv-
ing to never be off her guard. never to
throw away her arms, and to conceal any
number of foxes that may be gnawiug at
her beneath her cloak-this kind of ,firt-
ing, in which most gentlemen's favorites
are adopts, is an art that reaches almost
the dimensions of science
And it is just that in which your very
intense, your very earnest and sincere wo-
men are utter failures. They know moth
ing of badinage, but take everything au
grand serieun;; and when you mean sim
ply playful and complimentary. imagine
you in tragic earnest, and think them
selves obligedlto frown down a compliment
as liberty, or else they accept it with a
passionate pleasure that shows how deeply
lit has struck These intense and very
sincere women are not, as a rule. gentle
mems favorites, unless they have other
qualities Of such a pleasant and seductive
kind, as to excuse the enormous blunder
they make of wearing their hearts on their
sleeves for drawing-room DAVIS to peck at,
and the still greater blunder Of confound-
ing love-making with love. They may
be, and if they have nice manners and
good tempered they probably are. Of the
race of popular women; that is. liked by
both men and women but they are gen.
tlemen's favorites par ercellence. who,
moreover, are never liked by women at all.
Women are quite right in one thing.
hard as it seems to say it. Gentlemen 8
favorites, whom women dislike and dis
| trust, are not usually good for much NOR
