New YoRK. Oct 22-The buds are all
getting ready to be taken from the dollhouse
In which they have been so carefully kept,
and, surrounded by many other flowers, to
appear in the drawing room. Poor little
bud From the day that its mother rose
elected thatit was to be ''out" il knew per-
fectly well that it meant its awaiting the
gallant prince, who, seeing It's beauty and
admlring its grace, would bear it away close
TO his heart. One can't help but feel sorry
for the buds. And next to them one feels
sorry for the poor princes who come
a-wooing.
LISA perfectly we'll known fact that
every woman with daughter wants her to
make a great marriage. But the average
New York matron is decidedly crude in
her management. She doesn't do as the
southern or western wOman-inst let the
girls alone. let them attract and hold by
their own sweetness-but she overman-
ages. overcontrives She lacks the simple
directness of the English woman, and she
has not the tact of the French one. 1t isn't
SO much that she doesn't try, for she does;
but her trying is too pronounced. Not long
ago l saw at a bud reception the greeting
rendered O very nice. rather young, and
every-so-times millionaire. He was offered
everything, from claret punch and angel
food, from smiles to flowers, and he was
made 30 thoroughly nervous that l am per-
fectly sure that he will never enter that too
hospitable mansion again.
TRAPPING MILLIoNAIREs LIKE MICE.
You see that woman's idea Of how to catch
q millionaire was based on her idea Of how
to catch mouse. The way she did this was
to put piece of cheese In a trap, and then
when Mr. Mouse entered the door flew down
and he was hers. Catching a millionaire
requires q little different treatmenb. You
want good trap; you want a piece Of
cheese daintily toasted; then you want TO
Millionaire seeing the delightful cheese
will enter, taste 1t, then turn
round in hurry, fearing that
he 10 caught. He discovers that he is not;
that you are the SOU OF hospitality, that
you have asked him in for a charming din
ner OF Roquetort, aud then have given him
the liberty to do what he pleased. He nib
bles bit more, and he thinks it is stupid
eating alone, aud then he remembers
mademoiselle, the charming bud, aud deter
mines to 20 aud ask her to share his neal
with him. After that the rest eau be left to
providence.
That's the way to set q mouse trap for a
millionaire, for, unlike a mouse, the minute
the door closes on him he grow stubborn and
will get out, and equally unlike mouse you
can't drown him. But make him think how
charming your home is: don't overwhelm
him with too many attentions and no is
yours.
THIS YEARS GRECIAN FASHIONS.
Talking about buds, reminds me that we
are going to be atrociously Greek again this
year, and wear those low, short wasted
bodices. say "atrooiously" Greek, because
the right women never seem to get On these
artistic gowns. Instead frumps who are thin
to painfulness or fat TO beefiness choose
them, and the result is something perfectly
disgusting. Funny isn't it. that these old
fools never seem TO realize that while we
keep the babies, the real new babies all
bundled up, that she same rule ought to apply
to the reaching of extreme old age; but
second childhood and semi-nudlty seem 10
be the combine fancied. | don't read Greek,
but have seen no end Of pictures of Grecian
ladies; and though the costumes were as
artistic as the Anthony Comssock of that day
would permit, still in not single one OF the
pictures can find woman who looks over
3d. Now, what did they do with their old
womens They evidently did not permit
them to dress In Greek fashion and sit on
benches IN artistic attitudes. What pity
some of these people who are always dig
ging for antiquities can't get hold
of real Greek, aud putting
life in him induce him to tell how
the elderly Grecian lady dressed. This
sounds disrespectful TO old age; but 10 isn't
meant to be so. There is nothing to me 50
beautiful as the woman who Respects her
self, and who, being great grandmother
doesn't display a large portion OF the upper
part Of her sbody to soothing multitude
For the women who do it eau only be said
that having no respect for themselves they
can't get it from other people. The fat
woman looks like a food exposition, and tire
thin one looks like an umbrella frame.
There ought TO be some society to put a stop
to these exhibits because, they do have such
a bad effect on one mentally and morally.
THE OLD WOMAN GOSSIP.
There is an old woman here as thin as
the skeleton man, who goes every place,
who says nasty, bitter things about every
body who dares to be young, and who eS-
poses her withered old brown neck, and
believes that it looks beautiful because it is
decorated, save the mark! with diamonds.
Poor old wretch People are polite to her
because they are afraid Of her tongue but
to me she always seems q sort of warning.
a kind OF skeleton at the feast, and
il makes me want to pray for a sweet
old age You know women who are
sweet and old, so do L Women who are
dressed as they should be. whose loving
words and actions make beautiful their
years, and whose mere presence is like a
blessing embodied in the leaves of some
sweet perfume. But the society old
woman-from her everybody fervently
prays, good Lord, deliver US.
Talking about women, the woman Of
finance is. curiously enough, q feature of
to-day. To-day, when money is spent as
If it grew,
LIKE IDIOTS, WITHOUT WATERING,
and when to lavish It far and wide means TO
be surrounded with groups Of admirers
The English woman Of the title who found
that among her own Glass; there was 30
much drinking, will not find this among
American women. OF course, there are ex-
ceptional cases, but generelizing, do not
think that the women Of this country are
heavy drinkers. But the richest OF them
likes to make money, and funnily enough,
