nrInr Them ThemseIres.

A New York florist said to reporter
that he had made up last winter many
bouquets for young ladies to take to
Delmonico balls and other dances given
during the winter, which they had or
dered to be sent to themselves Can this
be an explanation of the large numbered
very expensive bouquets that.are carried
bv many young ladies at the balls in the
season Z of course a belle has many adj
mirers who take pleasure in sending her
flowers, but the query arises, are all her
admirers so greatly interested in her that
at every bali each sends her a bouquet 2
In one case young lady carried as many
as Is at one ball. She had not received
them from appfeciative relatives, but
from her gentleman friends. Many
other Young ladies, however, were over
burdened with the weight of five or six
bouquets and yet they did not seem to
have very great time at the ball:
These are doubtless the ones who send
their orders to their florists. One lady
in particular, decided belle in society,
received a bill from a florist last winter
which occasioned her much trouble, and
Sle 1eunO II very uHuCuit " uOOt tuS
outstanding obligation. A part of this
bill was for bouquets and the balance
was for loose flowers sent to her at home.
They could be seen at all times nicely
arranged about the parlOrs, and her
father thought, for he was given to I'M
derstand so, that they were sent to his
daughter by what he called "foolish
young men," Fathers would be also
much surprised if they knew the extent
to which their sons sent flowers to foot
light favorites. An amusing paragraph
in weekly publication stated recently
that a well-known Wall street banker
had sent to a comic opera favorite very
handsome diamond bracelet. To those

he has left these little attentions.
