ONE FOR MS GRACE.

An amusing story of an English nobleman,
recently deceased, Is told BY the aMan About
Town" In the English sporting Gazette: "The
Duke" he says, "was once in church, no mat
ter where, when acollection was announced for
some charitable object, The plate, or bag, or
whatever II might be, began to go round, and
the Duke carefully put his hand In his pocket
and took out form, which he laid on the pew
before him ready for transfer to the plate. Be-
side him set q little snob, who, noticing this
action, initiated It by ostentatiously laying q
sovereign alongside the ducal form. This was
too much for his grace, who dipped his hand
into his pocket again and pulled out another
form. which be laid by the side Of the first.
The little snob followed suit by laying another
sovereign beside the arst. His grace quietly
added third form, which was capped by q
third sovereign on the part Of the little snob.
Out came fourth form to swell the Dukes
donation; then the little snob triumphantly
laid three sovereigns at once upon the board.
The Duke, not to be beaten, produced three
horins. Just at tbs moment the plate arrived.
The little snob took up his handful Of soVer.
eIgns and ostentstioVsly ratified them into the
plsts, and then Turned deAantly toward his
rival, as who should say, 81 think that takes
the shine out Of thsm." Fancy bis chagrin
when the Duke, with Q grim smile, put one
form into the plsts, and quietly swept the re-
naming six back INTO bis pocket. His grace
used to chuckie wAsp be told that story, and
think on the whole b hsd the best Of It."

The absence Of the unmarried French woman
In the American drawing rooms Of Paris, Is the
subject Of general remark to trsnsstlsutie OBJ
servers. There are American families Of Gull
tivation who have been living in Paris for ten
years, and are not on terms Of intimacy with .
single French family, although they may have
Frenchmen constantly at their tables. It IL
not the custom Of the French TO have an extern
sive social circle of trends, as In America;
often It does not extend beyond their relations,
among whom praiseworthy harmony gener-
ally exists. There are many instances where
Frenchmen have married Americans, but very
few where Americans have married French
women; but when 1t does occur, the doors Of
the interior are thrown open to them, and they
are made acquainted with every feature Of that
private life hitherto closed to them.
These customs show the barriers which sur
round the interior Life Of the French people,
and the difference which exists between them
and US. However much the Americans may be
disposed TO adopt their customs, they are no.
wise inclined to adopt those Of the Americans.
One would think that when a marriage takes
place between the Frepchnian and tho Ameri-
can girl, her fntimatef friends would have an
opportunity Of sseing something of the inner
social life through the new connections thus
created; but 1t is not generally the case. She
is absorbed by her new relations, who have an
aversion to that largo circle of friends and &C.
quaintsnces of which the Americans are issu-
ally 30 fond.-Th Galary for May.

vice Of American girls is-well, not 10 put too

hsbitually, the normal three square meals per

Petites pr the late suppers. Ap average dash
