Among the many odd products of a ma ture civilization, the fashionable woman is one of the oddest. From first to last she is a thoroughly amazing spectacle ; and if we take human life in nny earnestness at all, whether individually, m the passage to an eternal existence the condition of which depends on what we are here, or collectively, ,as the highest thing we know, wo can only 'look ia blank astonishment at the fashion able woman and her career. She is the one sole capable member of the human family' without duties and without useful occupa tion : the one eole being who might be swept out of existence altogether, without deranging tbp nice arrangement of things, or upsetting the ordained balance. We know of no other organic creation of which this Could be said; but the fashionable woman is not as otlter creatures, being, for tunately, sui generis, and of a type not existing elsewhere. If we take the mere ordering of her days and the employment of her time as the sign of her mental state, we may perhaps measure to a certain ex tent, Lut not fully, the depth of inanity into which she has fallen, and the immensity of hey folly. Considering her as a being with the potentiality of reason, of usefulness, and of thought, the actual result is surely the saddest and the strangest thing under heaven. She geos to bed at dawn, and does not • attempt to rise till about noon. For the Wist part she breakfasts in bed, and then amuses herself with a cursory glance at the morning paper, if she has sufficient energy fur so great umental exertion ; if she has nut, she lies for another hour or two in that half-slumberous state which is so destructive to mind and body, weakening both fibre and resolution, both muscle and good princi ple. At last she rises languidly, to be dressed in time for luncheon and her visi tors, if she receives generally; or for the one or two iutiiuates, if she is at home only to the fayored. Somewhere about four she dresses again for her drive—for the first part of the day's serious business; for pay . ing visits und leaving cards; for buying jewellery and dresses, and ordering all sorts ul unnecessary things at her milliner’s ; for . this grand lady’s afternoon tea, und that grand lady's afternoon at home, with music; for her final slow parade in the Park, whore she secs her friends as in an open-air draw ingroom, makes private appointments, and carries on flirtations, and hears and retails gossip and scandal of u fuller flavor. Then home, to dress aguiu for dinner; to be followed by the opera or concert, a soiree, or perhaps a ball or two; whence she re turns towafd morning, flushed with excite ment or worn out with fatigue, feverish or nervous, as she has had pleasure and suc cess, or disappointment and annoyance. This is iter outside life,-and this ia no fancy picture and no exaggeration. After acer. 4am time of such an existence, ean we wonder if her complexion fades and her eyes grow dim ? and if that inxcpressibfe air of haggard weariness creeps over her, 'which ages eyen a young girl, and makes a mature woman subsiantudly ait Md one ? It ia then that she bus recourse to those 9 font and fatal expedients of which we have heard inroffe than efiofigli in these latter days. She will not try simplicity of living, natural hours, wholesome occupation, un solflsk endeavor, but rushes off for help to paints and cosmetics; to stimulants and drugs, and attempts to restore the tarnished freshness of, her beauty by the very means which fdither corrode it. Every now and then, for very idleness, she feigns herself sick, and has the favorite physicinn to attend her. lu fact the funnibst thing about her is the ease with whieh-she takes to her lied on the slightest provocation, and the strange pleasure she seems to find in what is a penance to most women. You meet her in a heated, crowded, noisy room, ■looking just as she always looks, whatever her normal state of health may be; and in answer to your inquiries she tells you she has only two hours ago left her bed to conic here, having been her room for a week, or so many days, with Dr Blank in cluee attendance. It you are an intimate female friend she will whisper you the uaine es her malady, which is sure to bo something terrific, and which, if true, would have kept her a real invalid for weeks instead, of days ; but if you are only a man she win make herself out to have been very ill indeed in a more mysterious way, and ■foaie ypd ta wonder at the extraordinary ' physique of fashionable women, which en ables them to live on the most friendly toueli-aad-ao terms with death, and to over come mortal maladies by an effort of the will anti, the delights of a ducal ball. The favorite physician has a hard time of it with these ladies; and the more popular lie ts the harder his work. It is well for hie generation when he is a man of honor < mid integrity, and knows how to add self respect and moral power to the qualities which have made him the general favorite. For his influence over that idle woman is for the time almost unlimited—like nothing bo <nnch as that of the handsome Abbe and ■ the fascinating Director of Catholic coun tries-;. and if he chooses io abuse it, and to turn it to evil issues, lie can. And, however great the merit in him that be does not, it docs not lessen the demerit of the woman that fie ccufii. ( Sometimes the fashionable woman takes up with the clergyman instead of the physician,Mnd coquets with religious • exercises rather tbtn with drugs; but neither clergyman nor physician can really change hex mode of life, or give her truth or common sense. Sometimes there is a flattering chow of art patronage, and the fashionable woman has a handsome painter or well bred musician in her train, whom she pets publicly and patronizes graciously. Sometimes it is a young poet or a raising novelist, considerably honored by the asso ciation, who dedicates his next novel to her, ur writes verses in her praise, with such a fervency of gratitude os sets the base Philistines on the scent of the secret, and perhaps gnessing not far amiss. For the fashionable woman has always some love affair on hand, more or leas platonic accord string to Iter own temperament or the bold n«iae-of the man—p love affair in which the least ingredient is love in any real or wholesome sense: a love affair which is vanity, idleness, a dissolute imagination, and cOTtempt of such prosaic, tiling:, ns morals; a love affair not oven to be excused by the tragic frenzy of earnest passion, and which may be guilty and yet not true. The physical effects of such a life as this arc as bad as the mental, and both are as bad as can be. A feverish, overstrained condition of health either prevents the fashionable woman from being a mother at all, or makes her the mother of nervous, sickly children. Many a woman of high rank is*at this moment paving bitterly for the disappoint ment of which she herself, in her illimitable folly, has been and i» the sole and only cause. And, whether women like to hear it or not, it is none the less a truth that part of the reason for their being born at all is that they may in their turn bear children. The unnatural feeling against maternity existing among fashionable women is onq of the worst mental signs of their state, as their frequent inability to be mothers at all is one of the worst physical results. '1 his is a condition of things which no false modesty or timid reserve should keep in the background, for it is a question of national importance, and will soon become one of national disaster unless cheeked by a healthier current and more natural circtrm atances. Dress, dissipation, and flirting make up the questionable lines which enclose the life of the fashionable woman, and which enclose nothing useful, nothing good, noth ing deep or true or holy. Iler piety is n pastime; her art the poorest pretence ; her pleasure consists only in hurry and excite ment, alternating with debasing sloth, in heartless coquetry or in lawless indulgence, as nature made her more vain or more sensual. As a wife she fulfills no wifely duty in any grand or loving sense, for the most part regarding her husband only as a banker or an adjunct, according to the terms of her marriage settlement; as a mother she is a stranger to her children, to whom nurse and governness supply her place, and give such poor makeshift for maternal lova as they are enabled or in clined. In no dftmestic relation is she of the smallest value, and of none in any social circumstances besides the mere adorning of a room—if she is pretty—and the help she gives to trade through her expenditure. She lives only in the gaslight, and her nature at last becomes, as artificial as her habits. As years go On, and she changes from the acknowledged belle to the femme passee, she goes through a period of frantiß endeavor to retain her youth ; and even when time has clutched her within too firm a hand to be shaken off, and she begins to feel the infirmities which she still puts out all her strength to conceal, even then she grasps at the departing shadow, and fresh daubs the crumbling ruin, in the belief that the world's eyes are dim, and that stucco may pass for marble another year or two longer. Or she becomes a Belgravian mother, with daughters to sell to the high - est bidder; and then the aim of her life is to ’secure the purchaser. Iler daughters are never objects of real love with the fash ionable woman. They are essentially her rivals, and the idea of carrying on her life in theirs, of forgetting herself in them, oc curs to her only as a forecast of death.— Even from her sons she shrinks rath’er than not, as living evidences of the lapse of time which she cannot deny, and awkward at fixing dates; and there is not a home pre sidea over by a fashionable woman where the family is more than a mere name, a social convention loosely held together by circumstances, not by love. Closing such a life as this comes the unhonored end when the miserable made-up old creature totters down into the grave, where paint and padding, and glossy plaits cut. from some fresh young head, nre of no more avail; and where death, which makes all things real, reduces her life of lies to the nothingness it has been from the beginning. Once the name of English woman carried with it a grave and noble echo as the name of women known for their gentle bearing and their blameless honor—of women who loved their husbands, and brought up about their own knees the children they were not reluctant to bear and not ashamed to lave. Now, it too often means a girl of the period, a frisky matron, a fashionable woman—l» thing of paints and pads, consorttfig with dealers ot no doubtful calling for the pur chase of what she grimly calls “beauty,’* making pleasure her only good, and the world her highest god ; it 100 often means a woman who is not ashamed to supplement her husband with a lover, but who is un willing to become the honest mother of that husband's children; it too often means a hybrid creature, perverted out of the natural way altogether, affecting the license but ignorant of the strength of a man, alike as girl or woman valueless for her highest natural duties, and talking largely of liberty while showing at every turn how much she fails in that co-csscntial of liberty—knowledge how to use it.
