NEW YORS, Feb. 4-The time Of year
has come when people have eaten and
drunken and been merry until they are
tired of it, and they wonder what they
shall do next. The girls have danced uatiI
even the slippers LOOK weary; the young
married women have tlirted until the sight
Of man is Objectionable and the men have
fooled and been fooled until even making
money is more interesting Dick Cynic,
ESQ, the most sought after man in New
York, ssys be don't known what it all
means, that he remembers when TO have
g large circle Of acquaintance and to dine
and dance the winter throu gh meant hap
piness, but that nowadays the buds and the
bridesmaids were absolutely stealing his
thunder and finding everything stale, fat
and Improbable. My dear Richard Cynic,
the state of afFairs is not due to there being
too much entertainment, but there being
too little of the right kind; and it is the
reign of the young married woman that
has made the bud and the bridesmaids feel
themselves of no Importance,
THE YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN.
It is the young married woman who tells
you that the buds bashfulness is all good
acting; that her shyness is assumed when
she puts on her white gown, and that she is
only waiting to be married 10 show what
she really is. IL is the young married
woman who tells you about everybody's
worries and frets, calls your attention to
the vulgRrity of the newly rich, when you
had simply thought of their kindness. She
tells you of the latest scandal and gives it a
favor OF great piquancy Dy adding her own
criticism, which Is as pungent as tobasca
sauce. For some unknown reason she is de-
termined TO make all the world look wrong
envious OF malicious. My dear boy it is
nothing of the kind. IL is simply that this
is her first season as a matron; that she
hasn't learned how to live properly, and
that physically she is all out Of order.
AN AMATEUR PORTS ANTIDOTE.
With the beginning Of Lent she will be-
come very religious, do considerable fasting,
and, it is to be hoped, that living low she
may think high. If she doesn't fast she

she will send he poetry TO the typewriter to
be copied. and she will be Mortified when 1t

had written something far above Swim
burne, and she wanted copies OF II sent TO
all her friends. IL began this way:
90, for the days, the days that were drear,
o, for the life that was bad"
Now, no self-respecting typewriter would
ever set up such nonsense as that; and she
made it;
20, for the days the days that were clear;
O, for the life, the life that was glad"
Which was much more sensible. although
the fool. who thought she would have been
poet-laureate, if she had lived in England,
said she would never submit another thing
to material typewriter, aud that her best
idea was ruined. | Thoughtful her moan mad

there would have been more sense in it. But
then, never had much sympathy with the
poets. OF that sort, mean. l object, first
and foremost, and always, to the amateur
and most Of all to the amateur poet. There
is kind that always springs up about this
time ia the year; sometimes. they have
their poems published, bound in white vel
vet, and send them to their friends; aud
then their friends become their enemies 1t
Is asking great deal to ask people to read
your poetry; it Is almost as much as asking
them TO break in dog.
