IN A FEW EASY LESSON: It appears as though some socicty Joshua had arisen and commanded the social sun to stand still. Since New-Year’s Day there has been a ‘wonderful dearth of entertainment. The best houses ™ have been closed, and melancholy Jen- kins wandered aimlessly through the avenues looking for lighted windows aud listening for the strainsof Tabernacle music as interpreted by secular strinr-bands. Society scems to have taken off its gay clothing and put ou its night- dress, and stuck its feet out to the fire for the toast preparatory to retiring. Eversthing is dull and stagnant, and the dullness and stagna- tion are more apparent in contrast with the few efforts of the past two weeks. It may be at- ‘tributable to the home blows of the evangelist, or to financial depression, but it is certain that the merriest part of the social season is dark and gloomy and almost dead. There is internal evidence of decay. There isa prospect that the social winter is over, and that the next revival wiil be the spring wedding season, when winis- ters thrive and caterers rejoice. But when parties grow dull and balls lose ‘their lustre, is TUE HATMARING TIME OF THE DAMSELS who are drifting to sereand yeilow maidenhood. For the marria; masculine will call and sit around, and talk, and laugh, and get up, and ‘bow himsclf out backwards, and make limscll as sociable as his languid nature wiil permit, and thenis the time or the eligible maid to fix ier snares for bis capture. Bui somehow the girls don'tseem to understand it. In their anxiety they forget the prety little ways and mannerism$ essential to the smashing of the male heart, and man aiter man slips away. /And their necks grow thinuer and tieir lips more pinched, and they long for a fashion of “Joug sleeves. ‘They find tiey have crossed the mator. No effort thereaiter cun avail. ow, any girl, no matter whether pretty or not, canr assume pos: n of 2 man who will call ou her. The call prima facie evidence that sbe entertains if she does not interest him. The trouble is to book him while he is the house. Over-uuxicty kills the business. Coolness, quict, and gels: sion will effect the job. Perhaps a few suggestions would be acceptable. PICK OCT YOUR MAN, after carefully investizating his resources, men- al and financial. Then let him alone, and go into trainiag ior bim. In the start you want <ool blood and 2 dear head. Avoid spived meats. Let cakeand candy alone, asdeleterious to the digestive organs. Rise carly and take epid oatmeal baths, drinking culd “water and deed tea. This will contract the inner blood- Tesssls and send thie blood to the surface. For breskiast, eat nothing but farinaceous food; for dinner, beef tea, and a small underdone steak, without butter, salt, or pepper: for supper, weak tea and toast, without butter. sSugar Jbould be avoided as a poison, At night, mus- 2ard plasters should be applied to. the chest. emall of the back, and feet. This will preserve an cquanimity of circulation. Thehands should be swathed in oatmeal, covered with mittens and not gloves. A layer of mutton tailow, cov- ered with cold_cream, should be spread on the Tace and covered with a mask. The hair must be worn Joosc. Never pfutit up on retiring. More depends on the hair thun anythine else. Every morning it shonld be wet thoroughly, and permitied to dry slowly, and when alinost’ dry he scalp should berubbed carefully with some cxtract of flowers. This will impart a faint per- fume to the hair. In combing, comb from the cnds up and not frow the head down. This re- verse combing makes the color more uui- form, and brings the younger and fresher sprays to the suri: After the hair is dry, bind it up loosely, avoid- ing coils, vats and chignous. Your zeading will be as important an element as your hysical trainis Dow’t_touch 8 book until an Then take one of Jules and read for two hours. It will stimulate your imagination, and inspire you with respeet for min considercd as a sclentite and prolessional liar. Right after lunch take Dugald Stewart's Metaphivsics for two hours and’a half. This will counieract any uohealthy exaltation of the imaginative elenient. After dinner a nap of an hour, and then 1 cureful pe- rusal of Abercrombieon the Intellectual Powers, which will restore tle equipoise of the imagina. tion and reason. Upon clusing ihe book, hold just the soles of the leet jn cold water, with an # Jee-towel around the forchead. When the large Dlue vein of the instep s swollen, rub the feet, ¥arm and dry, and take the towel off the head. ‘This treatment, carefuily followed for two months, will:put you 1n a position to enter upon THE SECOND STAGE. This stage is a thorough truining of the face, which, from the application of the tallow und cream, has becomie peculiarly flexible. A small and well-polished looking-glass comes in use. Sit-with your face to the window, and then com- mence. Begin with the month. A Chicagogirl’s month has’ naturally o calculating twist, ac. Quired in counting hér cliango whei shopping. 'Lis must be overcome, and it can be done by shortening the upper lip and lengthening the Jower. Toaccomplish this, depress the corners slightly, bringing the strain of the muscles upon the centre of the uuder lip, which gives a pretty, bewildered pout to the latter, and im- parts a timid, quivering to the upper lip, the ‘Whole conspiring toa beautiful mouth. Two ‘weeks are sufficicut to attain perfection. The eyes come next. Beware of all roal appli- cations, except soap and warm mil Scrape Daif a teaspoonful of white Spanish Castile into half a teacupful of blood-warm milk, and apply o the inside and outside of the lids six timesa day, before and after eachmeal. The rest1sdone entirely by the muscles of the eyes and temples. Trim the lashes of the upper lid, and brush morning and night with a baby’s hair-brush. In & montl they will grow out even, with poirit- ed ¢nds and a slight curveupwards. Byshutting he teeth tightly, a_slicht humicitv is impart to the orbs, clevated toa_superb. brilliatey by thesoap and milk. At first you will find the presgure diflicult, and a picce of rubber or cork may be introduced into the mouth for a greater pui Close the teeth tihtly and permit 1be upper eyelid to droop a little, then open the mom.g suddenly and wide, wink twice, and you will be delighted to find the cyes half full of tears. To prevent them overtlowing upon the clicek, throw the upper lid well out, and close and open the eyes quickly. This will leave the eyes moist, and the suppty will be found under e lower lid, whence it can be raised by & wink. It is wonderful how adept one may become in artwith but the conscientions practice of a week. A NATUKAL BLUSH is evidence that the blushce has thrown the Dlusher off ber ¢uard. Your traiuing o far, if carefully carried out, will preclude any natural ‘blushing when the awful mowent arrives, but you can secure a confused suffusion of the Cheeks by asimple but rather severe effort. ‘Throw the head 1orward, drawing breath until the chia rests on yoar collar, then stop sudden- 1y, closing the lips and passage between the 2 throat and head. Then raise the head slowlyand inhale gently. The rash of blood will settle in the chevks, and the” gentle inbalation will bea verfect sigh. Now you are in readiness. Go to a party and meet him. Invite himto call. Be in readi- ness for him, dressed inbecoming colors, -your hair put up loosely and confined with u long old pin that will slip out at theslightest twitch. §lave the head of the pin towards the lett, so that when the hair comes down the left side will swing around in front of you and you can de- tach the pin with your right hand.” Then you are prepared for him. Entering the room You take your scat in the right-hand corner of a sofa 50 arranged as to leave you to the left of a chandelier. This arrancement of light will throw half your facc in shadow and his in full illumination. Your reading of logic will teach you how to draw him u{‘) to the point. No advice can be af- forded on this subjeet, as men differ in thought as much as in personal appearance. THE FIRST INDICATION that he is interested will come in the dropping of his voice. Let yours follow the gradations of his. As he di his chair nearer to you, iou shoutd shrink a little towards your corner. .t your hands lie in your lap, the palm of the left down and the rignt up, in readiness to caten your hair as it comes down. Depress your head slightly, filling out the throat, lowernz the upper lids, and then raising them, looking at him for an instant, drooping the lids again. This -will feteh. As he comes over on the sofu, a sud- den twist of your head will bring. your hair down, biding “your face while you haul up the blush and bring the tears to your eyes. Don't put your hair up. Throw it back with your left Dband, which will raise the arm, leaving your waist exposed. He can’t stand that long, and ten minutes afterwards the day is fixed. It takes considerable trouble, this training fora few min- utes’ work, but you can make it up after the vedding by combiug Lis hair the wrong way,put- ting soap In his eyes, keeving him on a low dict, and drawing blood to his face whenever he opens it. In the spring, a new style of marriage cere- mony is to be introduced, in which the mother of the groom gives him away and which is to be coneidered as 2 betrothal of the groomsmen to the bridesmaids. ‘This may lead to some com- plications until society is worked into it, but it puts an fmmense power into the hands of young married couples, who are enabled to bring their {riends togetber without any par- ticular privity or consent of the friends them- se T eme promises to work well, and to revive the flagging spirits of the social world. A discriminating individual on the South Side has been emplovmg the leisure moments since New-Year's Day in UNRAVELING A PROBLEM, the solution of whizh bids fuir to revolutionize if not disrupt Chivago society. His proposition is: The city ha divided by naturcinto three grana divisions, cach having a separate town government, railroad lines, habits, man- ners, and customs, and having been settlvd by the representatives of different nationalities, shouid they amalzamate socially? and if so, what language should be spoken! Ile demon: strates statistically that the North Side i3 large- 1y German, the West to some extent French, and the South predominantly American. At present, Le says, 21l three languages are indis- criminately employed, tothe detriment, of that easy, smooth manner of specch which should characterize the satin-framed world of society, and he contends that there should be an uni- if He admits that it would be impolite rest_to take the language of any onc divisivn and force it upon the others, and there- fore be has enwaged himself in the construc- tion of a language which he proposes fo submit to a conveution, and for which he claims that it is smoother and easier learned than any that came out of Bubel. He proposed that each ward having a recoguized social stand- ing shall send two delegates, and that the con- vention shall first decide if a new language shall be adopted, and if in the aftirmative, shall it be the one be bas mvented ¢ In his philolovical researches, he has jearned that the ditliculties attending the English lan- suage are largely attributable to the mdiscrim- inate use v, 4, &, and b3 that the French is troublesome through the eflect of its final vowels on its consouants and the nasal peculiar- ities in which jts n’s and g’s are involved, and that the German breeds trouble with its ¢’s and the influence exerted over themn by thei's. To accomplish something that shall obviate all these difficulties, he purposes dropping the lot- ters o, u, 2, by ¢, u, and 1. This will leave him, for vowels, 8. and sometimes w and y. His consonants wiil be by, a, £, j, by L, m, p; q, 1 5, t, ¥, W, X, ¥, 2, making in all nincteen letf the objection that the absence (' LS of vowels wil make his effort look something like Welsh, with a_proposition to alier the promunciation of Some of the sonants, so as to give tnem a vowel effect, while preserving their consonant character. Thus, “Wh wot jy tamh tyl mwtyg,”? is his translation of “Wewon't go home ull morn- wg.” The new language is musical, ond be has already translated Lalla Rookh and the Tabernacle collection.

New YORE, Jan. 12.—Leaders of society who must ¢ follow the fashion,’”’ no matter at what cost, congratulate themselves on the continued popularity of the long warm cloaks. Long dolmans arc still great favorites. They are made in the richest materials of silk matelasse, lined with quilted satin, and trimmed with handsome fringes, far bands, or feathers. A beautiful cloth fur making dolmans, intended for carriage and theatre wear, and like occa- sions, is known as ‘‘feather cloth.” It comes in soft neutral tints, and is trimmed with silk and ribbop of the same shade. The long cloak is probably the most comfortable, as it s cer- tainly one of the most stylish, fashions in this line. A handsome cloak of this sort is a Rus- sian pelisse, in armure sill. The back conslsts of a triple box-plait, trimmed down itg entire length in the centre with ornaments of passe- menterie and tassels. The sleeves are formed by the back and bordered by s band of silver fox-fur, which also_edges the botiom. A rich passementerie ornament, half a yard in length and finished with tassels, is placed upon the shoulder, and falls towards the back. Twolarge connected bows of gros-grain ribbon ornament the sleeves. The garment is bordered up each side of the front with rur, and is closed by large and handsome clasps. The bottom of the triple box-pleat in the back is perfectly plain. THE REDINGOTE is much worn, and is one of the most admired of outdoor garments. There are various styles of redinzote, all of them pretty and stylish. Frequently they are made just like a een- tleman's overcoat, and then they are per- fectly plain. Oftener, by some change in ‘the cutting of the back, they are materially changed inappearance, and by the addition of sllk or velvet trimmings are made Shawls have 7 ite is, of course, the regaf Ing:, § which i3 now séen in greater pé’mit‘?::m"t sizn and coloring than ever beforo, - Tra gant ailairs are chiefly reserved for thg, although many ladies whoze fizures ciently uraceful to display x shawl witl tagy Wear thom o Wany otber v novel use to which one may co ‘ {{“51‘1{2 sliaylis to trunsform Tato s 2en cloak.
