ENGLISH MorHERs.-It is a marked
feature of social life in England, and
certainly one of it's special charms,
that mothers and daughters are 20 uni
formly seen together at home. Not
only is the mother the fret lady 10

where you visit, but mistress OF the
ceremonies throughout not only does
she preside at the dinner table, bat at

happens that your sympathies are with
the younger ladies-You will very loon

sence would be very sincerely regret.
ted by the daughters. As q picture,
all must admit the arrangement to be
perfect. The portly form and matron-
ly dignity Of the mother are an exqui-
site foil to the youthful beauty and
maiden coyness OF the daughters. And
ySu will fad nothing to mar but ev-
erything to enhance the interest of the
picture. Tie mothers presence never
seems to operate as au Unwelcome re-
straint.
Between her aud the daughter you
will mark the most Joyous, playful,
loving freedom, without the sacrifice
of a little Of pSternal dignity and au.
thority on the one hand or of sweet
and graceful duty on the other. Il may
be said of English families generally,
that these two things are eminently
characteristic, namely, uniform parent
al authority, aud the most charming
freedom of intercourse between pa
ronts and THAR children.
