FEMININE STRATEGY. - .' ., advised attach
ment was tho subject of fond mothers lament
to friend not long since. Every cd1t had
been made to prevent match being ictId,d
upon, but without success. Tic young lady
had good expectations, and her Affections bad
been wou by &C adv, u:urcr. The mother r.
monslrated against I'll folly OF the eogaGe.uen,
and lad 6naljy refused ~ allow rhc weddur to
take place 90 long as the girl was uoCer age
The yeuDg lady was obstinate by Dature Sud
Der tenaclty was strengthened by c. p)sition.
She avowed her intention Of waiiog patiently
till she was of age, and then of giving her hand
to her fauce. A years delay did not seem tn
have undermined her attachment, aud ia
other six months she would be OF aga and Der
own mistress.
Acting under advice, the mother chaoged
her cue and appeared to make tho best OF the
bad business. Since Capt. --- meant to be
son in law she said she would do what she c)uld
to make things pleasant. She asked him to
dianer, and appeared to have fully accepted the
engagement. If by any chance tue daughter
danced round dance wit any but her lance
the mother shook ner head. 1t she danced
twice with any other gentleman inc i,3!h"'
would say affectlonately:
My dear, do you think Capt - woull
like that When was engaged to your father
| never thought of dancing more than orce Ia
an evening with any one else.
She kept 40 eye on all incoming aod outgoing
letters, and would say My dear, you have
not written to Capt. - for the last Iw1 days.

write to him every day Of the week. Or,
Capt. wrote to you yesterday, NY dear.

The girl got irritable under the iocessaDt

lowed up her advantage by offering her admo.
