“FACING THE MUSIC.”
Girls, I do believe (observes the correspondent of an exchange) show more originality in face of reverses of fortune. A young lady of my acquaintance, finding that her parents had lost all their fortune a couple of years ago, and having herself a wonderful natural taste for artistic decoration, has adopted the profession of “ window-dresser ” for the Fullers, the great Yankee firm who have opened shops all over London for the sale of American “candies ■’ or sweetmeats. Every week Fuller’s windows come out in some hew and marvellous symphony in silver, or pale or green lilac, or fawn colour. These are all the designs of the ingenious maiden whose parents “ bust ” financially. Her friends stick to her very gallantly, although I heai'd a clergyman the other day declare that she ought not any longer to be invited to lunch.
