Mornin g-Glory Girls.

In the pages OF novel the girl VINO
has morning call always comes trip
ping into the parlor, dressed in a soft,
heecy gown of white, or n rose-colored
cashmere with a girdle OF bright rib
boHs, or a neat house dress of some
shimmering gray fabric. She puts
away her soft brown hair from her I'M
troubled face, and her eyes have the
rested brightness Of immortal youth,
and much more Of the same sort ad in
iinitum. This is in book. Now take
the young lady Of real life. She has
breakfasted and is amusing herself
with a book when a caller is announced.
II it is young gentleman, and she
does not expect him, she sends word
that she will be down Immediately"
Then she tears bandage from her
queenly brow, which looks as if it had
been cemented together, and picks out
the bandoline bangs. Then hurried
toilet additions, a white Mother Hub
bard with pink satin bow and should
err knot, takes the place of the waist
and skirt which were good enough
for home" The old slip-shod slippers
are replaced by pink hose and opera
ties. There is hasty skirmish with
the powder puff, christening dash OF
cologne. and with an embroidered
mouchoir in her hand the young lady
descends to the parlor and finds her
younger brother on intimate terms with
the caller, who is no other than her es-
cort of the previous evening when she
was arrayed in purple and fine lace.
He does not realize that she is en- mas
querade just now as much as she was
then; that he Is the hero of scene in
real life, and that if he had met her in
the hall as she appears in the bosom OF
her family he would probably have
mistaken her for her own maid. He
could scarcely, with this vision before
him, he brought to understand that her
young ladyhood is so completely a mat
ter OF personal adjournment.
Ii wonld be almost safe thing to as
sert that out of fifteen young ladies of
leisure only five could be seen at
morning call without the required wait
of half an hour. In many families
where the daughter is social belle
there is as much preliminary hurrying
and scurrying to get her into presenta-
bic shape for an unexpected call as if
it were an emergency OF fire. And this
is not due 10 any poverty of wearing
apparel. The young lady can have
anything she desires to wear-has, in
deed, quantities of beautiful clothing
but what Is the use OF making an elab-
crate toilet fthere isn't anybody to see
It? In this case father and mother,
sisters and brothers are all nobodies.
A waist of one dress and skirt of
another, both shabby and soiled, d.
lapidated iichu, hair en- papitlote, last
nights powder still visible in streaks,
and q general yaw-aw-yaw-aw yaw-aw
of WEAKNESS. What is this descrip-
ton ola farmers scarecrowP No! A
modern belle. who begins life at the
wrong end of the day.
A iudcious mother who brought up
alone and unaided n family of daugh-
tiers, all of whom fill honored places in
society, never allowed her girls to APP
pear ut the breakfast table in social
undress. They must be fresh, clean
and with finish of collar and couture,
or back they went to their rooms.
There was no running away when tho
door bell of that house rung. The
young ladies were always fit to be seen
In their nicely laundried ruflled ging-
ham and breakfast sets, and there was
no appalling contrast between their
evening and morning toilet. Each was
suited to themselves and the occasion
on which it was worn. In tho rose
garden of girls she who blooms the
longest begins the day as morning
