London ( juceii : ( Joining out is an
epoch of much importance in u girl's
life. Before Iho momentous tlmo arrives
there has been much private exercise of
mind and much speculation as lot ho dress
which will mark the eventful occasion.
It Is a moment of much interest , for the
young lady of the schoolroom Is usually
11 being rather of promise than perform
ance. There is a curious incompleteness
nboilt her , as of one whose arms and legs
are too many and too much for her ,
whose elbows are inconveniently in the
way , and whoso extremities arc apt to
have a purple and chilled appearance , a
calamity incidental lo her youthful years.
She wears dresses , moreover , which ,
however serviceable , are Hot apt to be
very becoming. Her hair tumble * about
her shoulders like a lleece ; Indeed , she
tosses it as a pony's mane in moments of
excitement and agitation. Her lingers
are often inky , and she is sometimes de
tected in wiping her pens furtively on
her dreis when the governess is not look-
lug. At breakfast she satisfies an excel
lent appetite with the thickest of bread
nnd butter , unit at dinner makes u capital
hand of the roast mutton and rice pud
ding which fall to the schoolroom share.
Ifslicbcan only daughter , the whole
household is astir and deeply inlcreslcd.
if shohuvo looks as well as youth the oc
casion becomes momentous and inspir
ing. The lights , the music , the wax
Jloor.s , Hie gathering crowils of country
Indies , all seem to blend in a moment of
delightful expectation and wonder ; and
whe'i partners present themselves nnd
Ihe ball begins in good earnest the
young lady feels as If life was indeed
worth living , and waltzing the perfection
of motion and sensation. Thus she
dances until daylight steals in , wan and
pale , through the closed windows.
Then ivo have the young lady ( quite
stern is she ) who has uccn trained in the
uwful educational system of Ihc day , and
contemplates her coming out as a mere
frivolous and useless interruption of her
duties. Late hours , she knows , will ob
scure her mathematics , bewilder her
grasp of Iligelian philosophy , and re
duce her physical .science studies to
chaos in her brain. So , after her first
ball , you will find this young person ,
who has come down at the usual break
fast hour , sitting vainly over her ( Sroeic
and algebra , which seem at issue witli
the echoes of last night's fiddles and the
Voices of last night's partners , that
fcomnhow re-echo in her ears and shake
her intimate and profound conviction
that she is not as other girls are worldly ,
trivolous and devoted to vain amuse
inonUs.
In bright rooms these very superior
young people wear a gloomy look of
superior enlightenment. They are
hecrctly enraged if they do nol dance ,
and secrelly delighted , and perhaps sur
prised , when they are invited to do so.
TJipro is u time for everything , says the
wisest of men ; a.timo to ilance anil a time
to weep ; gayety , and good spirits , and
harmless mfrlh are the natural portion of
youth ; therefore wo are fain to see pur
girls witli open brows , and smiling lips ,
and not with the premature line of too
close application , and the pallid tint of
the hard-working student of twenty.
Coming out neeil uot mean merely the
introduction to a life of frivolity and dis-
Hipation. The duties of life , the homo
occupations and household tasks , need
not be neglected because of the ball in
the evening or Ihc dinner-party which
may precede it. Nor is Ihero any ne
cessity for healthy girls to spend the
whole morning in bed afterwards , or to
lounge aimlessly through the next day on
the prclext of undue faligue.
Hut pnnlont mothers will not let the
Jirsl season be prolonged or faligumg ,
and will bo careful to restrict the number
of evenings , for girls of ] 8 are not al
ways robust , ami irosh air and uxurcl.su
are desirable to counteract the palcnes ;
and heavy eves which largo and crowded
assemblies Induce. Very momentous ,
too , is the occasion when the young girl
kisses her soucroign'j ) hand for the lirst
time and sees herself resplendent in
drawing-room attire with delight and
Kiirpr'u-o that she , the school-room miss
of yesterday , can look snob a fairy
princess as the mirror yonder rcllocts.
Friends crowil in to see and admire. Tlio
long wait is not a bit too long before the
gael i $ reached for the pleased and ex <
cited young brain. The splendid dresses ,
the stately rooms , the courtly attendants ,
the bevy of prlncess-os clustering around
the august ruler of tnc.se realms , till her
with a sijiisation of bewildering delight.
She makes her curtsey ami drops lier
hiss upon the queen's ungloved hand ,
and timidly raises her eyes to the kind
and noble presence before her , then is
Mvopl out of the chamber , she remembers
not how , to Jind herself safely in tie wake
of her chaperon. The carriage is re
gained , the thrilling , delightful event ia
over , and the young lady is fairly
launched upon the sea of life in the moat
orthodox manner. The debutante is ab
sorbed only in the present moment ; the
fichooi-room past has faded like a dream ;
and the future presents it. > elf full of da/-
vding possibilities. Lul us hope they may
all be realized.

The week has been rather barren of
amubc-niDiits in a theatrical wty. : and the
entire season thus for has furnished very
little that is really deserving of commen
dation , Omaha people want ( ir.-4 clnt-a
theatrical attractions and arc willing to
pitrouizo : them but they must go outside
of their own town lo bo mitislicd. They
are enthusiu- admirers of opera , but
up lo the present date they have not been
treated to anything m that linn , save
wiiat a ' . .r > - < : M\ : \ show from Chii-dgo could
give them. Thn standard dramas that
have been presented almost weekly to un
varying goud businesshave been a damp
ening revelation of what a disappoint-
iiient a play of average worth can bo.
when relinquished to the tender mercies
of a cheap company who uro borrowing
n little rcllf'Ctcd glory from the success
of u fo/mcr season , and vvliojo frail hold
on the toleration of the public must bo
exhausted by another winlfr.
