A handsome girl who had served in
some OF the best shops in Paris declared
that assistants were exceedingly partic-
llar as to the class of customer they would
pc required to serve, and to satisfy them
serves on this score were allowed the
range of the shop for few days before
signing agreements and entering on SER
vice. Ihose emporiums where gentle,
men most did congregate were the ones
eagerly looked after, and If, after a short
period OF surveyance, the aspect were
voted unsuitable the girl would decline
the SITUATION and set out afresh. OF
course, this privilege was granted only
to young women whose experience and
business aptitude had earned for them A
high reputation.
One young lady declined no fewer than
hYe good places, and remained out of en-
ployment for some months rather than ac-
cept a position which failed to satisfy.
This painstaking and fastidious woman
was rewarded, winning the heart and
hand of wealthy, if ancient, wldower.
1t is an undeniable fact. says the New
York Tribune, that Notwithstanding the
superior educational advantages of the
present time. comparatively few of the
girls of the period can write an attractive
looking, gracefully expressed note The
writing is apt to be bad, the phraseology
awkward, and the whole production lack
ing in that indescribable stamp of culture
which the note of a well-bred, well-educat-
ed young woman ought to express. 1t is
hard to say just how this state of affairs
has been brought about, for certainly this
most essential part of a young woman 5
education has in the present generation
been obviously neglected. Perhaps in a
way II is the natural reaction from the ele-
CANT penmanship and somewhat labored
diction of twenty or thirty years ago; or
perhaps studies that are deemed of more
Importance have taken up time which was
formerly devoted to pothooks and diction.
but underwriting is an accomplishment
seems almost lost art. 1t is to be hoped
that parents and teachers will become con-
scious of this need in modern education,
and that the younger members of the fam
lily may be better drilled in this respect
than are their elders.
NOtewriting should belong particularly
to modern times. and ought to reach its
highest degree of perfection in these days
when a couple of hastily written pages
take the place of the old-fashioned letter,
which, 1t must be confessed, was some
times just little wearisome to read-es-
pecially when the writer felt a conscien-
tious obligation to fill a certain number of
sheets. II will now, said a dear old-fash-
toned letter-writer, after she had impaired
all the news she could think of, and had
still several pages to write to fill up her
quota, proceed to make a few remarks
about patience" and we can fancy what
good, sound moral advice she gave and the
prasise she bestowed upon that excellent
virtue. Children's notes are some
times very funny in their d.
reotness. Il do not want to go
to your party thank you." was the an
swer written by little girl to her friends
invitation, expressed, as she thought with
perfect politeness; and the mother, rather
than tamper with the child's sense of
honesty by an explanation which she was
too young to understand, let her send the
note uncorrected. Facility Of expression
and sadness of diction should receive
particular attention in a schools currlcu-
lum, and practice notes on every imagin-
able subject should be constantly written.
The fashionable handwriting of the day
also appears to be in a transition period.
The sharp English hand of decade or two
asehas given place to a notwithstanding
ronud chiography, that in many cases're-
maths uniformed and childish-looking, and
perhaps it is for that reason that so many

lady who gave an informal dinner to a
