Tt must pa kee a com when congress no losger assembled there, and New York began to dispute the social prestige of the Quaker city. A celebrated Philadelphia bel of the Gay, Miss Franks, writes of a visit made in the rival city, and her quaint de- scriptions of New York society were probably colored by jealousy for home supremacy. The letter, whieh: is a possession of a Brooklyn woman, a.descendant of the observing writer, says, among other things: “By the bye, few ladies here know how to entertain company in their own houses, unless they introduce the card table.. Except the Van Homes, who are remarkable for theiz good sensé and ease, I don't know a woman or. girl who can chat.above half an hour, and that on the form of « cap, the color of a ribbon, or the set of a hoop, stay or jupon.

Here—or, nore properly speaking, in New York— you enter a room with a formal set courtesy, and after the howdo’s, things are finished; all’s a dead calm till the cards are introduced, when you see pleasure dancing in the eyes of all the matrons, and they seem to gain new life. The maidens, if they have favorite swains, frequently decline playing, for the pleasure of making love; for to all appearance it is the ladies, not the gen- tlemen, who nowadays show a prefer- ence, It is here, I fancy, always leap year, For my part, who am quite used to quite another style of behavior, I can- .jnot help showing surprise—perhaps e they call_it. igporance—when I a lady siagle out her pet, and,lediii al- most into his arms, atan assembly or a playhouse (which I give my honor ! have too often seen, both with the mar- ried and single) or hear one confess a partiality for a man, whom, perbaps, she has, not seen three times.. ‘Well, I de- clare, he is a delightful creature, and I could love him for my, husband!" one ex- claims; or ‘I could marry such a gen- tleman!” Indeed, gossip says that in the cases of most who have been mar- ried the first atlvances come from the lady’s side, or she gota male friend to introduce the intended victim and pass her off. This is really’ the ‘case, and with me ladies thus lose half their charms. .I suspect there would be more marriages were another mode adopted +-they have made the men so saucy that I believe the lowest: ensign thinks he has'but to.ask, and have-—that.a red coat ‘and smart epaulet is sufficient to secure a female heart,”—N, Y, Times.

As the years passed and Susie budded into young woman- hood, this conviction deepened in her mind, and she longed for the things of} outside life. She felt that though] | doomed to be in Concordia, she was not, of it. Wy Then she took a queer fancy. She would have a bicycle, and roam the country lanes of her neighborhood in freedom and unrestraint. The city papers and the illustrated magazines —penetrated to her rural home, and the bicycle passion was fanned by éach scrap of cycling information she pe- rused. : One day an eastern paper found its way into her hands, and an advertise- ment caught her eye. An offer was made that to agents who disposed of three cases of a certain brand of baking powder a present would be made of a ladies’ safety, finished in full nickel, and thoroughly guaranteed for one year, The next outgoing mail bore away an order for the three cases of baking powder, accompanied by the cash Susie had been saving for a twelvemonth back. In the course of a week or 50 the baking powder arrived, but with it came a letter stating that the safety had been ordered from the factory, and “would be somewhat delayed in ship- ping owing to an unusual demand, Susie fretted in her impatience, for she had told the neighborhood of the safety she was expecting, but still the safety came not. She haunted the lit- tle weather-beaten railway station upon the arrival of every train, express or freight, in anxious expectation of her coming treasure. A fortnight passed, and with its end came a letter from the baking powder concern, addressed to Susie Simpkins, and inclosing one-twelfth of a dozen of those useful little articles so familiar in the feminine toilet. It was Susie’s safety.—Bearings. ° 2ie Boarding-House Aftermaths. Mrs. Slimdiet—Have some more 6f the mackerel, Mr. Boarder.
