WOMAN ABOUT TOWN.
A Melange of Social Gossip for
Everybody.
A LITTLE TOO OFTEN.

LITTLE TOO OFTEN.
The woman" received a letter from a
young LAZY in this city the other day i'll
which she complains that she is just
'peSterrd TO dsath' with the visits OF a
young man whom she likes we'll enough,
as ne is man of fair intelligence and not
wanting in good looks, nut he has offered
himself and neen refused, and while she is
wiiliag To retain his friendship, she is an
noyed at the frequency OF his calls. She
would not mind his com ;ng, if he wouldn't
come so often, but he will do it in spite of
hints, and it is coming to be understood by
the public at large that he is her accepted
lover aud consequently other admirers Keep
at distance.
The young lady doesn't like the situation
and the ".Woman" MT blame her.
1t is To be hoped that the masculine who
furnishes the ground for her complaint,
will discover, the error of his way and
take himself up at once.
HUMAN NATURE.
"Nature," says Thackery, "has written a
letter of credit npOn some mems faces
which is hoEored almost wherever pre-
sented," and while this in some deg ee ma >
be exaggerated. vet every man is an ope"
book if you know how to read him.
Acts Of thought and will and deed have
much to Go with shaping the features aud
and. the soul rounds bereath
their influence until it becomes the tablet
of the evil one or the tempe wherein is
written God.
ABOUT DRESSING.
1t is rela' ed of the late Mrs. Seward,
wife OF Secretary S.ward, that she was a
woman of simple manners and almost
singulsrity in her uDOstentatious manner
of dressing. And she was regarded as one
of the salt of the EARTH" woman of
wonderful intellectual power and e tat
depth of attainment" What an examn
for the frivolous minded individuals wnO
array themselves in everything which
fashion dictates and whose trunks and
wardrobes are full of 6audy
apparel which required much. time
and thought to prepare, but which were
only worn once, or at the most, twice, and
then cast aside. Not th,t it is shame to
dress we'll. 1t is not, nature herself
dresses we'll" but tremendously and ap-
prOpriately, indeed, and thus SETS always a
good example.
EASTER CARDS.
1t really is beautiful sight to behold
the exquisite designs which are now seen
in the BOOKSTORES under the name of Easter
ca-ds. Many Of them have branches upon
which is seen the promise If leaves. In
the background is the warm tints of sky.
away in the distance is gorgeous butterfly
looking as il fresh from the cErysalis
There is finish of fringe. All the finer
cards are made upon satin. richly embossed
or hand painted in carnations. Jonquils,
hyacinlhs etc, all emblem ,tir of early
spring. Atavorite form has a center of
raised satin, upon which the decorative
work is most exfuis'tely zone. In ac-
cor,lance with the idea of Easter, which
in some peoples minds means "eggs and
more eggs, there are beautiful tablets in
card board and satin, upon which nests
containing egg. are represented, also eggs
colored in the most brilliant manner
Taken altogether like the Christmas New
Year and birthday cards, Easter cards are
now :thing of beauty" if not "joy
forever.
