From the Xrir York Sun.] 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 engaged people should be put under more reswsfnt than they; are in many circles of American society. But we trust much to the discretion of our girls. before he enters the house to call on the young lady. It is the bu siness of the family to close or open their own blinds, and no one else is privileged, not even an accepted lover, to touch them from outside. If the young lady, when he has been ushered into the parlor, suggest to him that the open blinds an noy her, it is the part of politeness ' tu alacrity to grat- EMPEROR OF “STYLE.” n’OMTIt.

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.

The Etiquette of Knocks and Pronun- elatloa. 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. To a superior or high official you must say: ‘I am very respectfully your obe dient servant.’ In writing on busi ness you are, ‘Yours truly.’ To even for him to rush wit ify her. Otherwise he would better leave the blinds alone. 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 nraeed eu the supposition that their IrilMOT u,i| l couiip emlumwa andthsy will cause embarrassment, not to proceed on any if lovers can- 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.” “That’s the English way of doing it,” said the Doctor, in reply to my application for information. “They have a great many peculiarities. Trait is pronounced tray; issue by Mr. Gladstone and many others, is issoo. Derby is ‘Darby,' clerk is dark, Berkley, *Barkley, ’ and so on. I have a rather good joke on an Englishman who is a prominent poli tician, and a purist in language. In a conversation in which he was de nouncing the ‘vicious pronunciation of Americans,’ I asked him what is the standard dictionary in use in England. He answered that it is the ‘Imperial.’ I said that of course it differs entirely from any American dictionary. He said that it most cer tainly does, because the American pronunciation is vicious and intolera ble. I asked him to fetch a copy of the‘Imperial.’ He fetched one down from the library; and then I asked him to be good enough to read the He did so, and elicited title page. the, to him, most novel and startling breathing air steeped with glorious! information that the ‘Imperial’ dic- sunshinc, I passed one of the most! tionary is the work of one Noah charming afternoons of iny life.
