it is a question which has been of-
£ten discussed, whether the freedom
ii which is allowed American girls is
_,U better or worse in its effects than the
restriction which custom puts about
t^e maidens of some parts of Europe.
Z Are our young women less attractive
than those of France, for instance?
Are they more apt to fall into the
ways which do not become ladyhood?
Does the liberty they enjoy lead them
into the snares of the devil? Are
they bold, forward, lacking in femi
nine delicacy, and without that gen
tle charm which so delights man in
woman?
We find,on the contrary,that our well
bred girls are singularly attractive,
that the freedom they enjoy does not
detract from their feminine modesty,
and that it rather teaches them to
maintain their dignity and reserve
, under circumstances and in situa
tions which would forever compro
mise a French maiden, and might
actually break down the barriers to
her purity. They need no other
panoply than their own innocence.
These thoughts, among others, are
suggested by a letter we have received,
rfi
asking our advice as to the proper
conduct of lovers during their en
gagement. This is a very important
and delicate question, and, as our cor
respondent observes, doubtless many
young people who have pledged their
hearts to each other will thank «a
for treating it. This is the letter:
Sir: My sister is receiving the
attentions of a young man who man
ifests a great deal of devotion and
love for her, which I think she re
turns. They study the articles per
taining to lovers which from time to
time appear in the Sun, and have in
many ways profited by the advice
given. Therefore, for their edifica
tion, I submit to your judgement the
following:
First—Is it proper for a young cou
ple in love to seclude themselves in
the parlor, and thereby prevent other
people from using that room while
they occupy it?
Secondly—Is it proper for the
young man to close the blinds before
entering the house when he calls to
seethe young lady?
Thirdly—Is it proper for the in
mates of,the house to knock on the
parlor door and wait outside a mo
ment or two before entering when
the lovers are iu the room ?
I hold that the German system of
courtship, in which the young man
id
calls and spends the evening with the
entire family, is the proper one to fol
low, and that the American plan of
“close communion” should be avoid
ed. Is my idea correct ? Is a long
courtship better than a short, sharp
and decisive one ?
By throwing a little sunlight on
the above you will undoubtedly con
fer a real favor on the young lovers
and oblige an Odd One.
In the first place, it may as well be
understood by everybody that en
gaged persons cannot be expected
to contribute much, if anything, to
the general pleasure of the people
among whom they live. They are
engrossed in each other, and, as a
rule, they prefer to exchange views
between themselves, * and not with
the rest of the household. They have
much to say which they know is lit
tle interest to the people aliout them,
though of the very highest to them
selves. Perhaps they desire to dis
cuss the arrangement of their future
home. Perhaps they are anxious to
get each others opinions on favorite
authors. It may he that there are
E hases of love which they
ave not gone over in pre
vious conversation. Possibly they
wish to get new assurances of one
another’s undivided affection. In
deed, there are many subjects engaged
a lie arc satisfied they ought to be
?red to examine apart lrom soci
ety. However, they should not be so
elfi * 111
selfish as to occupy the parlor to the
exclusion of everybody else. They
should remember that though the
family is willing to give up some
comforts out of regard to their excep
tional condition, it cannot be expect
ed that they should be made utterly
miserable on their account. If the
lovers are engaged in the interchange
of their ideas in the parlor, and some
body else comes in unless that person
is ready to leave, they should proceed
to act like other people, and not con
duct themselves as if it was an out
rage to enter the room where they
are. After a decent delay, if they
wish to continue their conversation,
they might gracefully retire and take
a walk and then keep up their senti
mental talk. That is an easy thing
to do.
We say decidedlv that it is not
proper for the young man to dose the
blinds * •
as to render it possible. for guy one
else to enter it, they ought to be
taught tfi . behave differently. Still,
some consideration will be shown
them by kind-hearted people, who
will take pains to let them be alone
6n occasions, and manage to sit in
some other room than the parlor.
The German system of having the
lover spend his evenings with his
sweetheart in the presence of the
whole family has much to commend
it, though the hearty Germans tolerate
a degree of caressing familiarity be
tween the lovers under such circum
stances, which would he odious to our
people. Perhaps it is j ust as well that

circles of American society. But we

Kate Field !•»>» Mini a Viait. and
Write* Something or Inlerea! to tlae
ladles.
The famous monarch of modules
f ranted an audience lately to Miss
[ate Field,who thus gossips about his
majesty:
Worth has a large establishment in
the Rue de la Paix, Paris, where 400
young women stitch, stitch, stitch,
not at all in poverty,hunger and rags.
His employes number 1,200 in all,
and during the Commune, when no
body ordered dresses or anything else,
Worth provided for 70 ol'li is employes,
though he, too, suffered for want of
decent food. Wasn’t it good of him ?
And isn’t it queer that this leader of
fashion should come from the country"
that is accused of having no taste ?
Worth is English, borne 52 years ago
in Lincolnshire ! Once upon a time
he was clerk in Marshall & Shelgrove’s,
and at twenty-five years of age he set
out for Paris with a few pounds in his
pocket. Brains was his only capital.
That the man is a genius in his own
profession is as evident as the multi
plication table. He inherited his
ability from his mother, who
possessed exquisite taste. You
must not judge Worth by all
the dresses made by him,
as I used to do. Tf a woman insists
upon having a fussy, furbelowed cos
tume, Worth is obliged to make it,
however disgusted he may be. “My
life is anything but a bed of roses,”
he said the other day-. “What I have
to endure from some women is simply
incredible, when it is remembered
that they call themselves ‘ladies.’
One person sailed in lately and gave
an order, saying : ‘T don’t like your
taste at all, Mr. "Worth; I want so-
and-so.’ ‘Madame,’ he replied, ‘you
can have what you want, but I am
quite sure that if I had your taste I
si ' “
an acquaintance you are ‘Faithfully
It should merely "be an appropriate kyours,’ ‘while to a friend _you are
froma frvr n nVtnvmium* i-\inlnnn ‘SlniDur
shouldn't haw any" customers.’ She
didn’t mind the sarcasm. She didn’t
understand it. A notlier lady" said re
cently": ‘You make my cousin’s
dresses, and I don’t approve of them,
Mr. Worth.’ ‘Neither do I, madame,’
he answered; ‘if your cousin likes
colors mixed up, I can’t help it. If
you have a more cultivated eye than
your cousin, I congratulate y"ou!’”
Yes, that’s the way Worth talks to
the people. It doesn’t make the least
difference who they are. He says
exactly what he thinks, consequently
he is very original and very amusing.
What would be extraordinary in any
one else seems to be perfectly natural
in him. A grand dame once went
up to Worth to show him the new
costume she wore for the first time.
Glancing at her, Worth exclaimed:
“Your dress is spoiled by your gloves.
Take them off.” And off they came.
Worth is a tallisli man, with a big,
clever head arid very prominent fore
head. His brown eyes are singularly
shrewd in expression, and their seiz
ure of detail is surprising—that is for
a man. As a rule, men have no more
eye for detail than owls have for the
sun. Worth takes you in at a glance,
and knows what your sty-le ought to
be, which is such a comfort. When
I go to a dressmaker, I don’t care to
“work my" passage.” I want to order
a harmony in one or two colors, and
to encounter brains equal to the occa
sion. Worth’s taste, when allowed
full play, is irreproachable. “I-pre
fer simplicity to any-thing else,” he
says, “but there are women who don’t
believe in the value of a dress unless
it is loaded with trimming. They
drive me mad, for they don’t take ad
vice. Now, what is becoming to one
person is hideous when worn by- an
other. I study- to make the best out
of a subject given me, as, unfortunate
ly, we can’t have people made to or
der, can we ? If I had my- way- all
women should be slight, graceful and
pretty-. Then, dressing mem would
be an artistic pleasure. A dress
should never overpower the wearer.
frame for a charming picture, bring
ing out the beauties of the picture,but
never detracting attention from it.
So few-women understand this. Why,
when I find I can make a costume
for less money than had been
agreed upon, I actually annoy-ed
clients by telling them so. They
think it cannot be as handsome as it
ought to be, and they would rather
have more material added, however
much the design might be marred,
than pay less. I assure you that is a
fact. Consequently-, when I meet
ladies who know that dressing is an
art, I take very great satisfaction in
them as patrons. It isn’t every- wo
man who knows how to wear a dress.
When I have done my- best, I try- to
make my- client do her best, by- seeing
her walk and sit down. To walk
with style is rare enough ; but when
it comes to being able to sit down in
a dress properly—well, there are not
many- equal to that, I can tell
you. Then, women think they ought
to have a number of dresses, and
would rather be seen every- day in a
new toilet, however hideous, than
wear one dress, however becoming.
There never was a greater mistake.
If your frame is appropriate, stick to
it. Don’t be getting out of it, and
trying experiments. I have just
made a dress for Madame Nilsson, in
which she looks bettter than I ever
saw her before, and I have begged her
to wear that dress constantly in Rus
sia, if she wants to produce a most
charming effect. As she is sensible,
I think she will take my advice,
which, you perceive, is against my
interests, but, gracious me, money- is
not my only object. Art is intended
to beautify nature, not to deform it.”
You’d appreciate how fine an artist
Worth is by going to his villa at
Suresne. It is one of the marvels of
Parisian suburbs. I never saw such
harmony of ensemble, every bit fit
ting into every other bit as though it
were a mosiac. Worth has been his
awn architect, gardener, designer,
upholsterer. There’s not a carpet
nor a curtain that he did not invent.
Stuffs and chairs have been made for
him and for him only-. The hang
ings in his library- are works of art in
the way- of embroidery. The rare old
china, which is Worth’s particular
frenzy and with which many of the
walls are inlaid, would drive Mr.
Gladstone mad with delight. The
eye is perpetually gratified, and when
you step into the garden the view of
Paris, the Bois de Boulougne anti the
country- for miles around is a dream
of beauty.

London Correspondence of Chicago Times.]
“By the way, you are aware, I sup
pose, that England, next to Germany,
is the most formal country in Eu
rope?”
“More so than Spain'?”
“Yes. At least more so than Spain
is at present. Etiquette pervades ev
erything ; and it is by the observance
or otherwise, in its smallest details,
that the Englishmen form their opin
ion of strangers. As for instance, in
writing to another, there are various
recognized ways of signing yourself.

say: ‘I am very respectfully your obe

As to whether the inmates of the
house should knock on the parlor door
and wait on the outside a moment or
two before entering, when the
lovers are in the room, there is ground
ibr discussion. They should not be
efcoectcd to do it. If they do it, they

Sincerely yours. ’ Again, an English
man always knows the rank of any
one who rings or knocks at his street
door by the manner of his doing it.
A postman gives a loud rap, followed
by a light one, which means that
there is a letter in the door-box. If
he wishes to speak to anyone he adds
a single pull at the bell. A trades
man’s assistant gives a single rap; the
tradesman himself gives a single rap
and a pull at the bell. A servant
does not rap, but he pulls the left
hand or servant’s bell. A lady gives
three or four light raps, and pulls the
right hand bell. A gentleman does
the same, except that his raps are
louder. When a carriage containing
some person of rank calls, the flunky
gives a series of thundering raps that
may be heard a mile. And so on.”
I assured the doctor that although
I had a general idea of its frorit door
etiquette, I had no notion that it was
reduced to so fine a point.
“Yes, it is. And, moreover, an
Englishman will form an unfavora
ble estimate of you if you do not un
derstand these details. There’s the
same rigidity in other directions.
You must address an Archbishop or
a Duke as ‘Your Grace.’ You must
know exactly how to address a letter,
whether to ‘His Grace,’ or ‘The Right
Honorable,’ or ‘The Honorable,’ or
‘Mr. .So-and-So,’ or ‘So-and-So, Esq.’
Every person of a certain rank re
quires a certain address, and every
jierson of every other rank requires a
different address, as well as a different
manner of subscribing yourself at the
close of the letter. You will, for in
stance, address a tradesman as ‘Mr.
Jones, ’ if you liave occasion to write
to him, while literary and other gen
tlemen, without rank, you will ad
dress with the addition of ‘Esq.’ ”
In speaking of Ireland, the Doctor
once or twice made use of the word
“Keltic.” Later, in referring to the
title of a well-known book, he called
it “EkkeHomo.”

it,” said the Doctor, in reply to my
application for information. “They
