What Our Girls Cost.

Where does the very young
American girl get her amazing sense of
savoir faire?" asked titled English
man at Newport the other day. He
had sat at dinner beside the youngest
daughter of the house, called in by
her mother to take suddenly vacated
seat at Il grand dinner party. The
pretty miss had volunteered to the
amiable British gentleman that she
had never sat at dinner party be-
fore, and yet he observed her manners
showed all the quiet ease, the lively
self-possession, and pretty dignity
that would have done credit 10 a
duchess.
''Ah, she attends ii fashionable
boarding school," exclaimed New
port helle, who overheard the remark:
land fashionable school in America
gives very different sort of training
from that girls get in French converts
and under English governesses. At
our schools the girls are not only
taught their three RS and some other
things. but after that they are trained
in the path they must walk when they
are ready to become debutantes. 1t
costs the parents about $4,000 a year
for every daughter sent to one of these
temples of polite educatiOn: for, first
of all, they live while they study like
little princcsses. Their school lodg-
ings are divided into most charming
suites. they are regularly attended by
manicureS and hairdressers, and a
teacher of physical culture drills them
twice weekly in the canons of grace
and ease: and there are maids prOvid
ed to assist at every toilet-maids
who speak several languages. They
dine in full toilet every night at the
fashionable hour, are sent to an opera
box twice a week to hear the best
music, and are taught only those ac-
complishments that are the fads of
the day. They are allowed to read
such novels as will give them a true
insight into the society they are to
enter, but will not hurt their young
minds: the highest class of daily
papers are brought fresh to their
breakfast tables every morning, and
the parents are encouraged to afford
their daughters such liberal allowances
as will enable the girls to give gener-
ously to charity. As school girls.
