That woman is an abominatlon upon
g4he face of the earth who thinks to gain
friends by gossiping about the habits
and costumes and special belongings OF
the ladies of the half world. She can
.uaver really account creditably for this
Knowledge. and her listener has perfect
right to conclude that she has acqualn-
4ances among them, although it is most
probable that she has gathered her sto-
ries from servants, dressmAkers, and
men. The well-bred Americap woman
has learned from her French COUSIN to
ignore these ladies entirely, and when
she drives past one Of them she stares as
-blankly as if there were no material flg-

TRAINING OF THE BUDS.
EARLY as it is, the buds are beginning tc
get ready to be taken from the lighthouses
in which they have been so carefully
kept, and, surrounded by so many other
flowers, to appear in the drawing room
Poor little bud! From the day that its
mother rose elected that it was to be
'sout'' it knew perfectly well that il
meant the waiting for the gallant Prince
who. seeing it's beauty and admiring its
grace. would bear it away close to his
heart.
One can't help but feel sorry for th'
buds. and next to them one feels sorr!
for the poor Princes who come a-wooing
Tt is a recognized fact that every woman
with a daughter longs for her to make :
great marriage. Many think the average
New York matron is crude in her man
agement. She doesn't do as the Southern
or Western woman does-just let tn
girls alone, allow them to attract ant
hold by their own sweetness-but over
manages and overcontrives. She lacks tn
simple directness of the English woman
and she has not the tact of the Frenci
one. 1t isn't so much that she doesn't try
for she does, but her trying is too pro
nounced.
