0 Few, indeed, aro the people who can keep up tha round of Washington oeauty without sadly showing their weariness, An exception to this rulo is a young daughter of an army officer stationed in that city. All winter she had been busy with receptions and dinners, kettledrums and germans, and on Wednesday, as she came into Mrs Chandler's parlor, she looked ns fresh and rosy as if it were her first day. My curiosity was aroused, and presently I had an opportunity to inquire of her how it was that she was able to enduro that to which stronger women would yield. " Oh," she said, while laughing, "mamma is almost a crank on that subject. She is bound I shall not look passe at the end of my second winter. Every night when I get home, no matter how tired I am, a warm bath is
guest chamber, which is more quiet than my own. In the morning lam not called, hut arise when I awake, which is not often before lunch time. It -grown. monotonous, I assure you, but if Igo I have to submit. I tell mamma that she treats me ag if I was h Maud S or a prize-fighter."
