D mothers In Israel, with daughter,
sanding at the threshold Of the world
what are you going to do with them!
How aro you planning to introduce then
b society, to develop them into full Aedged
bellies, to cause the land to ring with en-.
thuaiastic accounts Of their grace, beauty
md accomplishments, not to mention
their wardrobcs and the amounts Of their
fortunes, and above all to see them united
In the bonds Of holy matrimony at the end
Of tho season to one Of the best catches Of
the timer
OF course you have been revolving the
question for many anxious weeks and
months ever since the lovely young crea-
tures emerged from school, warranted fin
1shed, which is to say competent to play a
Chopin nocturne, to distinguish a Corot
from q chrome, to enter a room impress
Aively, and to talk to a wise man or to q
fool in English, French or German. How
Anxious,y you looked oyer the charms
which are to be their chief dependence,
and noted with the keen appreciation of a
~connoisseur the thick soft hair, the clear
eyes, the perfect teeth, the fresh complex
ion and the tall well rounded figure which
bear testimony to a careful bringing up
from the cradle! They have turned out
well, but there, you knew that they would
burn out well, SO far as these points were
concerned, in which hygiene and physical
culture have made 1t possible to foretell
effect from cause.
So far SO good, but still the problem re-
mains asto the warmth with which society
will receive these works Of art, the buds
Of one year differing in no wise from the
buds of another, generally considered, and
the degree Of success varying according
to whims and ~fancies, for which it is i'm
possible to provide beforehand. Clothes
are a very important factor, however, q
fact which every mother recognizes. Fren-
xied discussions have been carried on,
closeted with dressmakers, not the poor
little nobodies who have up to this time
achieved the toilets Of the bud to be in the
EH HFt-
sewing room on the third story at SO
much, or so little, per day, but disting-
uished artists, whose names on a waist
band ara enough to lend enchantment tt
the weirdest concoctions of color and ma
terial. If the bud be q simple bon silene,
sweet but humble, she has her garments
made in America, but the gorgeous, snowy
American beauties which only bloom in
luxurious homes repair to Paris and Lon
