Thyrseat themselves on the sofa, they talk, ,cJ5roung f gentleman and lady nre engaged in a.cgular flirtation" as they say, to express an intimacy, which has lasted, a month, a week, or a day, ins' tho midst nf this Interesting conversation, tho father's l.ico appears at the door ; but scarcely has ho glanced at tho young couple, than ho quickly withdraws quite ah lined of his indis cretion. Always amiable, though interrupted in her chat, I.ttey runs after tho author of her days, brings him back and introduces him toher friend. Although the presence of an Ameriran fithcr is no rrre.it restraint, vet tho conversation sooiifi.igs and I.ncy breaks' up the sitting, ma king a graceful gesture of adieu tg her pnpt, she disappears with her beau. She may or she nuy not reenter tho paternal mansion during the day, Sometimes tho tender couple meet another couple, who like them, flirt the open air.

She wishes to hr. nre'tv. ami ilile and witty only for Robert, After" the example of Liicy, each young girl 1ms lier Robert, that which causes that balls ill 1 America are but reunions, coteries, two in each. or where lh"y together behind the curtains and 1 sup almost from the Fame plates, after having all niglil waltzed, clasping me same vvuisv aim pres. sinir the s.imo hand. Ol course the panas nnd mammas are entirely excluded from these balls; they keep l:ouse,reliro early, and sleeping, dream of the triumphs of their dear child.
