A Rich Child's Room.

Here is ii description of the suite of
rooms occupied by girl of nine.
Her name | will not give, for it would
be unkind 10 pillory a child for the
sins of her very foolish parents. She
has beautiful little sitting room in
white and gold. The walls are hung
in rose tinted silks, aud special pieces
of furniture, diminutive i'll size, and
including small secretary in ormolu
with Sevres plaque that she may carry
on her little correspondence. Here
are her toys, the elegant gifts she re-
ceives, and here she entertains her
friends. Adjoining this room is her
bedroom in satinwood, her brass bed
hung with blue silk curtains. A
1ressing-room attaches, and in this is
the elimination of luxury. The
llressing-room is quite large. The
marble bath is set against the wall.
The low marble basin is supplied with
perfume soaps. Spouges of all
sorts and sizes hang in racks,
Perfumed waters in cut-glass bottles.
cold creams, delicate lotions all find a
place. On her bureau are laid out
expensive brushes and combs in
repousse silver, and exquisite toilet
bottles and manicure cases in pearl.
In one corner is placed long cheval
glass that she may contemplate her
skirts and dainty footgear. The i'm
propriety of calling the child's atten-
tion so specifically to the care of her
body is already manifest, and one can
only wonder what there can be ~
reserve for her when she is grown.
