1t was midnight. The Limited" train
on the Milwaukee route dashed along and
carried with it the sleeping car and its in
mates. The lamps on the rear coach were
burning dimly. They were turned down
along the aisle so as to disturb not the
sleeping passengers. The Car rocked and
rumbled as it sped along, rendering indis-
tinct and less disagreeable the snoring of
the sleepers. But for these noises all was
quiet on the car.
Out from the smoking apartment came
the porter with his white jacket and skull
cap. He passed down to the extreme end
of the aisle. occasionally falling against the
side of berth as the train turned sharp
curve and the car surged to one side or the
other. Once at the last berth on his self
imposed journey. he stopped down and drew
from the innermost recesses of the space
between the floor of the car and the lower

charmed with some special girl, and too
raShly presumed that he could capture her,
failing in which undertaking he may in his
chagrin have denounced herself and all her
Southern sisters as flirtS. Second, the light
hearted, always alert and prattling South
ern girls, whose talk is punctuated with
laughter, may, because of their ease in talk
ing to one man or dozen men, have con-
veyed to the Northerner the impression that
she was a fiirt. But he is wrong. She is
dangerous, but she is no flirt. Charles
Dudley Warner visited the White Sulphur
last year, and after months sojOurn went
away charmed with the social life among
the Southerners there. He gave his i'm
pressIons to the country through Harper'S
Magazine, and as a result the number of
Northerners at the White this year is larger
than ever before. The contrast between
the life there and at Saratoga seems to have
impressed them as it does the Saratoga
talker. who longs ''for the Rebel girls in
muslin gowns" And this social comming-
ling of Northern and Southern society
will do much good. The impression
left after reading the Northern
writer's kindly rhapsody is that he
is amazed because Rebel girls, with
only muslin gowns can be so joyous and
so charming. Flirting is not a character
iStic of the Southern girls. Some of them
may flirt, but no one will confess that she
ever did such thing The fact is, there
are some women in all races and nations
that will flirt. Arctic explorers have found
them among the ESquimauX. Frank Cush-
ing was worried by them when he lived
with the Zuni Indians. Some of the Afri-
can queens attempted to ensnare Living
stOn and Stanley; and certain American an
tiquarians have gravely asserted that our
own estimable POcahOntas cOQuetted with
no less prominent citizen than Capt. John
Smith, now many years dead.
After the curSOry review of the situation
we are warranted in promising that the
Northern men may go among the Southern
girls at the White Sulphur, and the South
ern men may go among the Northern girls
at the White Sulphur and learn the useful
fact that the girls from both sections know
how to flirt. but do not use their knowledge
But if the man be experimentally inclined
and anybody is hurt it will be the man who
will return to Saratoga after brief parley
with rebel girl, or the man who will re-
turn to Richmond after brief parley with
the Northern girl, and each man will be
found at home with general benumblng
suffusion of his thinking faculties, an I'M
certainty as to the existing order of things,
and vehement conviction of the necessity
for immediate war with Mexico. He may
charge that the White Sulphur girls are
flirtS, but is he entitled to credence?

does nothing to make Paris brilliant and
attractive from a social point of view. At
the balls nj the Eivsee one viii seek in vain
for display OF novelties or of elegance in
dress Under the empire there was
group of great ladies. renowned for the
orig naiity and eccentricity OF their
toilets. who dressed splendidly, and
who were continually endeavOring
to discover or invent something new. The
Princess de MeTternich, the Duchess de
Mornv. the Countess de Hon. and some
eight or ten others were the cyn0Sure Of all
eyes whenever they appeared in public.
Their dresses were criticised, admired and
copied. Il was for them, and TO carry out
their ideas. that the great dreSSmakerS Of
the day strained every nerve in their cOmpe-
titi0n with each other. Some few of the
group still hold their ancient places, and
others have come later TO claim share in
the leadership of fashion. The Princess de
Sagan is one of the most influential of
these last. Ii was she, for instance, who
introduced for watering place wear the red
toilets and scarlet paraSols that have
flushed. like crop of peoples, for two sum-
mers past the sea-beacheS of Europe and of
America. The Princess de Metternich in
like manner invented several years ago the
peculiar and vivid shade of yeilow-green, at
first called by her name, and afterwards re-
vived and rechriStened linden or willow
green. Foreign royalty, too. in the absence
of a French court, does not fail to exercise
a marked influence over French fashions.
The delicate blonde beauty of Queen
Margherita. Of Italy, and her taste for sub
dued, yet effective, cOlors, brought the diff
feFent shades of heliOtrOpe into fashion.
The Grand Duchess Vladimir. of Russia,
dark and regal-looking beauty, is response

The females who are willing to be accoSted

advances made by the ''masherS," but they

in certain circles. An umbrella or
parasol is the weapon of offense, and in the
hands of an expert it is as dangerous as the
Spanish lady's fan. If closed and used as

drops it to the front. This means that the
man to whom she is signaling is to over
take her and enter into conversation, and

fellows who are constantly on the lookout
for chance acquaintance of the opposite sex

The late Prof. Morren related once in
our hearing a rebuke which he gave to a
high-strung Beacon Hill damsel, which is
worth repeating for the moral it carries.
The young lady was one of his pupils, and
made herself particularly obnoxious by her
naughty and even insolent bearing, dis
playing her contempt for all about her so
markedly that it became at last unbearable.
Il knew her mother in France" said the
professor, whose broken English there is no
need of producing here, land she was a
most exquisitly modest and unassuming
woman. But the daughter was SO inso-
lent that she had to have lesson; so l
said to her: Will you be so good as to
remain after the lesson? have something

test manner she says: You wish to speak

such view as this, a Canadian

them as marrying at Is, faded at 20,
toothlesS at %, hideous at 80, alternately
passing their time between their rocking
chairs and their beds, lazy, hstless, up and

American parvenus. The hotel parvenus,
however, are but very small fraction of
