Colonial Young Ladies.
An article entitled "Social Life at the Capital of New Zealand" appears in the March number of Oassell's Magazine, in which the writer makes some remarks about colonial young ladies which, to say the least, are of a very daring kind, " They 6eem to me," he says, " to be either too much of the 1 pl&iea and prism' order, or else goine tOTSho other extreme, they are distinctly flirty, not to say flighty. It is rare to find that delightful frankness and absence of reserve which, combined with the most perfect modesty and maidenly self-respect, go to make the ideal English girl so charming. The Colonial 'young lady,' as she prefers to be called, seems to bo either looking at you with an air of frigid distrust, or recklessly throwing herself at your head. The English girl treats you with a confidence that in itself compels respect, and when a man thinks of wooing her, he does so tremblingly, feeling that it is a privinot rashly to be aspired to." All j|ni3 is flattering to the English girl of course, but we fancy is hardly likely to be quietly assented to by the Wellington young ladies. There are other statements in the article which would probably be dissented from by the Wellingtonians, though on the whole the article is rather complimentary to the " Etnpire city." i ==
