THE WAT TO LOOK AT IT.

Being a Series of Extracts from the Letters of a Professional Chaperon to a Client in tho Country. All things in season. — Solomon. " Webber House, Belgravia, "Bth April, 1885. " Dearest Honoria, — It is with deep regret that I am compelled to return you your three sweet girls — Henrietta, Blanche, and Eliza — unmarried! I have done my utmost for the sake of auld lang syne and the happy days that we spent together at Miss Tidd's select preparatory establishment. But in vain! The weather has been against them, so raw and foggy. Rawness and fog are prejudicial to a blonde girl's chances, as we all know. -The dear girls are sensible enough to feel it, too. "We will go home now, dear Lady Webber,' they said, with toars in their eyes, 'and como to town again when we are in season.' And they are right ! Blondes aro not in request so early in the year. Towards midsummer, for instance, they go off briskly, and the run upon brunettes diminishes in proportion. Still, I thought, as Lord Adolphus, the eligible " parti " I mentioned in my last, is so extremely dark, that there jnight be a chance for one of your ; dear ones. But we must abandon the idea. "Je suis exploree !" — but■what can I do ? — Ever my Honoria'B own, " Arachne Webber." 1 "P.S. — Jane, your youngest, is not yet out I know; but Bne is a brunnette, is she not? 1 ■ Had you 1 sent 'her in the first instance, who knows what might have happened. Lord Adolphus 1 being dark-haired, is out of the question, but there are the Fitz-Piggots. Immensely rich, and sandy. — A.W. Telegram. — From the samo to the j same. ' " Such a discovery. Lord A. wears a wig. His own hair is rod — bright red.' ' Send Jane up by the next train." Letter i- I—From1 — From the same to the same.' " Dearest Honoria — Happy, happy news. Yesterday was very cold, quite nipping, and Lord' Adolphus' proposed to' dearest Jane as she was taking a constitutional in the' park. 1 ' Come up at onoe. — Ever yours, '• " AbachKe Webber." 1 "P. S k k i — The weather is much milder to-day ; there is every prospect of, its becoming absolutely warm. I think you might bring up one of the girls. We will have un autre essai. — A.W." ' ,
