True, some of them dress as if they were only twenty, and have, at the same time, two or three “respon- sibilities” im elaberate dry goods, of whom the good old mother doatingly says that it is time they were married, Such ma- Deeuvres and palavers as sre made to the young roosters here in velvet coats—such se- vere attempts to look pretty—are indeed pain- ful to a looker-on in Saratoga.
