Footmen supplanted. |.

Whether it is that women in the long
run are found to be better servants than
men, or that, the times being bad, their
more slender wages prove alluring to
the careworn housekeeper, the fact re-
mains that footmen are being discarded
BY many houses, the reign Of the parlor
maid becoming supreme. The change
in most respects is one to be commended,
although the appearance of maid when
opening the front door, however trim she
may be, compares unfAvorably with the
smartness Of well turned out" foot
man, in all the pride Of q speckles livery.
One day, calling for the first time on
some acquaintance in Eaton place, my
breath was taken away when the door
hew open, and three parlor maids stand
ing at intervals, attired in tho most nm
familiar Of costumes, dawned upon my
view. You see, my friend had wished
to make q compromise, and had bestowed
q livery upon her woman servants. Their
brown plush tail coats and snowy shirt
fronts and ties might have pleased the
most fastidious, but there was self
consciousness about these handmaidens
which. to me at least, proved source
Of serious irritation. Gentlewoman.

Girls ana Their Allowsnc.s.

Young girls are very apt to spend
their allowance. BY the way, wonder
what the girls Of wealthy parents here
in the city consider suitable allowance,
or rather, which is more to the point,
what their parents consider suitable
allowance.
At a reception che other night, where
pretty girls were notably numerous, a
proud father told me he supposed his
daughters cost him y 900 year at the
lowest. This Of course had no reference
to board and many other such trifes,
which were included in the family ex-
penses. But, dear soul, he didn't Be-
grudgea . cent Of it, you could go that,
FOR he was one Of the kind who think
girls should be like flowers, without o
care themselves, yet blooming to make
the world beautiful. to give light and
color to social occasions and to I'LL the

Of woe, how the debutantes Of . certain
