LETTER NO. 2.
SAME TO SANE.

Last winter you recollect meeting NJ.
de Nillelong at our house, don't you,
dear Blanche? Madame de Pontlouis
had introduced him to us. She made no
secret of the motive which induced her
to present the Baron, for he is q baron
and real one, too. She admitted to
mamma that the matchmaker's mania
had come upon her, and that she was
looking out for me. l had already met
this young man, had often danced with
him. rather liked him, and the moment
I saw him at the house I knew what it
meant. Anyway, mamma was open and
aboveboard in the matter. She told me
to look upon him as sutton for my
hand. Said mamma, with faultless pro-
nunciation and admirable intonation:
His position, my darling, his age, his
fortune, his family, his antecedents are
perfectly satisfactory to me, but it's for
you to decide. You are not supposed to
know anything about the man. Study
him at your leisure. I don't want to
influence you in the least.
You remember him, don't you, dear
Blanche? You met him just about the
time you were married. I think you
must have noticed him tall. thin,
blonde, . good head of hair and . fine
beard, handsome teeth, rather small
head, broad shoulders, in a word, every
indication of physical strength. A lover

he's very careful with his hands, too,
although they're little hard. He rides

the swell clubs. They say he has had
many first-rate chances. and / don't
wonder at it. How I came to know?
Why, I have heard mammals friends
speak of him Just IS they do OF any
young man in society when they don't
foresee his presentation as . sutton.
OF course, they spoke In enigmas. but ]
understood we'll enough. The simple
fact il, dear Blanche, that 1t Is utterly
impossible to bring up girl nowadays
in complete ignorance Of the affairs OF
actual life. The morning journals are
filed with these topics which become

The fact is" she replied, as her eyes
frightened with a smile, by chance I
caught glimpse of my knees the other
day, and they were so black that WAS

And think how praiseworthy this is,
too, for Sister Ursula Is not forty-two
yet. She is still q beautiful woman,
and, as you may remember. was a born
princess. It makes no difference. 1

Blanche, I'm not an ordinary girl. Mine
is an exceptional case. Mamma would
think me moonstruck and Able Servan
wouldn't understand me. Mamma would
offer to take me away for a short trip
somewhere and Able Servan would
counsel me to seek aid and comfort in
prayer. The good Lord has other things
to attend to, and besides, although my
case is peculiar one, don't think il
hardly serious enough to call for an in
terposition of Providence. Possibly it g
very natural and very ordinary, this
case of mine. and only seems strange to
me because it's new to me.
Well, this is it: Mamma wants me to
get married, and theoretically I have no
objections. suppose it is absolutely
necessary to get married, and the
younger the better. I'm speaking of
women. wouldn like to marry q
man Of my own age. A difference in
ages of six or seven years seems to me
to be called for. Papa has been dead
two years. and mamma left off mourn

although she kept strictly to violets and
grays, yet she had her afternoons at

Blanche, haven't we de" already?

Marias? How old it is I don't know,
but it's quite sufficient to distinguish US
from tradespeople. Everybody treats
US as II We were entitled to it; no

Now as to my notion as to what hus-
band should be, let me say that I have
no silly ideals, no schoolgirl dreams. I
don't want any phenomenon, any hero.
l want him to be in good health and
with something to occupy his time up to

me, must be mine, And my idea of mar
rage, too, Is that the wife should have
much more liberty than is usually ac-
corded her. Wherever I go, when
isn't with me, my governess is
at my heels. It's beginning to be a lit
tie tiresome, this business! I would
take an airing all alone by myself. I

these books might enlighten me as to

succeeded very easily in being quite
