AMERICAN society, as now carried on,
is, according to writer in the Atlantic
Monthly for April, maintained solely
for the benefit Of young girls, and is
generally little better than marriage
mart. The parents launch their off
spring as well as possible, and display
their wares to the greatest advantage;
but the business Of the market is gener-
ally carried on chiefly by the young
girls, themselves, instead of by their
mothers, as in England and Europe
There is no special objection to this
method of transacting the business; but
it is preposterous that young girls and
their affairs should oyershadow and shut
out everything and everybody else. The
result of this absorption i'll one clsss and
one pursuit, is that American society is
often insufferably dull and fiat. 1t is
made up too exclusively of ignorant
girls and their attendant boys. Half
the education of a cultivated and attrac-
tive woman is, of course, that which is
derived from society and from the world /;
and yet American society is almost
wholly given up to the business of enter
tainingandmarrying those who are neces-
sarily wholly destitute Of such an educa-
] ton. Another effect of the prevalence
of social principles Of this description,
is the supremacy Of that most rustic and
unattractive of habits, the pairing sys-
TEN, which converts society into vast
aggregation of tete-d-tetes This prevails
all over the world to a greater or less
extent, but it should never reign SUI
preme. The upshot of the whole thing
with us is to drive out of society nearly
all married people--for marriage under
such system is destructive of social
value; nearly all unmarried women over
twenty-five, who are thought to have
overstayed their market; and, finally, a
considerable proportion of the unmarried
men of thirty and upwards. In other
words, except at a few large balls and
receptions, all the best and most intelli-
gent part Of society is usually lacking.
It has been pushed aside, and is obliged
to find all its social amusement in small
coteries Of its own.

FASHION NOTES.

Very dark mandarin orange shades of
plain satin have the fronts covered with
brocades showing foliage Of the new blue
and green shades.
A young lady's dress Of strawberry
satin has a separate yoke of velvet that
may be put inside the low round cor
sage, and transform it into high cor
sage.
The very long apron front, pointed to
the foot of the skirt, has many wrinkles,
and is trimmed with ecru lace that looks
like an heirloom, but is really very
new.
A lady tourist employed Jackson
vile jeweler to secure live lizard to a
gold pin by tiny gold band and chain.
The band goes round his body near his
hind legs.
Lovers of novelty who have wearied
of white nuns vailing find much that it
new in the pale corn-fower blue shades
and the dull red and green tints in which
this sheer wool is now imported.
Coral shrimp and strawberry pink
dresses of nuns yailing trimmed with
darker red velvet ribbon, are liked by
young ladies for afternoon receptions
and will be worn in the country in the
summer,
Short nantes in visite shape, trimmed
with lace, are made of the gay material
of these costumes, and are worn with
them, and there are shirred bonnets of
the same with very full frills of lace on
the brim.
Pretty bureau-covers are made of
white monte cloth and ornamented with
outline embroidery; the edge finished
with antique lace two inches wide. This
lace is also used to border a square OF
satin on which some delicate flower de.
sign has been painted, and makes very
handsome tides.
Dark copper red satin dresses have all
that part of the skirt below the vertuga-
din puff covered with antique ecru lace
or single deep fall of the new canva,
embroidery; the becoming surplice folds
on the bust are of satin, with the ecru
lace inside, and at the throat large
tightly tied bow Of the satin.

Dr. Brewer thus traces the genesis of the

the bombyK, but is applied to cotton
used instead of silk; hence bombase (cot-

Good Listeners.

The art of hearing is as nice an art as
that of being heard. The number of
good listeners is rare, whilst inveterate
takers beset us on every side, and often
prove the greatest bores society can dep
recate. We can pay no higher compli-
ment to any conversation than to give
it our undivided tacit attention, be-
traying our interest in the kindling
eve and breathless eagerness to catch
every word as it falls from the lips of
the speaker. 1t evinces a disposition to
gain knowledge from another, and is a
modest confession that we are being en-
tertained or informed.
As all of our opinions and proposes
sions are more or less tinetured by indi-
yidual circumstances, interests or con-
stitution, it would be well to hear all we
can from others, then weigh, compare
and digest the wholesome truths offered
by opposite minds. Many contradict
merely for display of their argumen-
tative powers, or through an obstinate
resolve to maintain their own peculiar
tenets, as our self-loye is apt to whisper
that we speak we'll and men will be per-
suaded by our eloquence.
The finest exponent of good breeding
is the true politeness which teaches us
never to interrupt one when speaking,
but to listen with an air of interest
even though the subject under discus
sion prove irksome and insipid, for the
self-esteem of the speaker is often
wounded by an distracted, weary, list
less manner ON the part of the listener.
If wholesome truths be dealt out, en-
brace them; if error, cast it aside as
rubbish. There may be occasions, when
truth is outraged and calls for defence,
then we may feel ourselves relieved from
the letters Of certain punctilio that de-
mands respect for the rights and feelings
of others
Silence is older than speech, and many
of our greatest men have been noted for
it. "A word unspoken is a sword in the
scabbard; a word uttered, is sword in
another's hand" The lips of those who
think much and speak little, arc apt to
drop dainties as sweet and rich as the
tabled honey of Hymittus.

New Hats and Bonnets.

Among the new hats is a little capote
of linen, with a full plating of lace
around the face, peach blossom pompons
and little gold comb holding the folds
at the back. Gilt-edge linen and peach
blossom narrow strings finish this little

A capote Of black lace is shirred from
the center of the crown to brim over
thick gold wire. Pointed ends of brill
liant red ribbon form the trimming q
the pointed front, and pompon of the
same is placed on one side near the top
of the outside. Scarlet satin and black
velvet strings.
On a poke bonnet of rather large size,
known as the Hermann, is large bunch

Patti yellow in ottoman ribbon. An

brown finish the outside. This is
faced with brown velvet inside the brim
while the outside is covered with a
changeable brown and gold lace.
Tyrolean hats of colored straw have
for their only trimming two straps OF
colored leather and fiat bird.
A directoire hat of fine Dunstable

terra-cotta velvet and tips.
The Spanish or bullfghter's hat, worn
bv both ladies and gentlemen in Spain, Is
seen in heliotrope and blue velvet min

Glistenlng through coral lips is certainly

grievous drawback; add to this that such a

anything more Objectionable. SozoDoNT,
