Eagerly on the watch for admiration,
•die is not a little mortified by pbferyiiig,
that for one Bead who pays any attention
to herj at leaft twenty are AlT:duous in'
iheir Court to the married Women, but
ihe is comforted by obferving, too, that

Unmarried are in the fame GSttition, (h«
is confoled by looking forward to the mo-
ment, when (lie may by Marriage, be
■entitled to the fame crou'd of Foilcrwers,
and this renders her lefs Solicitous about
the Kind of Mufband which may happen
to be her Lot, fmce die finds thatihe
can Pitt and elude afterwards, whom
fhe pleafes to be her Attendant, ar.d yet
bejuft as well received, and as much cj-
roucd by refpediable Characters, as if
Ker life had been irreproachable-, She
ifees married V/omen ride out evciy Day
with diiTipated young Men—and no more
iNonce • uken of it, thin, if it were con-
fidant svirh either Decenccy or fafety —
In the fpring, what can be more Jnno-
•eent than to be conducted by an admir-
ing Attendant into a Nfcr'ery of fweets—■
to Indulge him with the Opportunity of

■culling Flowed for her bread-She

frequently hears it wifpered, that fuch

a perfon is In Love with Lady-— &

fiever finding the manner of Expreilion,
■cenfured-concludes it to have been proper

and that nothing is eafier than for the
noble Pafhcn of Lcvr, to be felt by a
■Gentleman, for another Mams Wife.—
Nay—i— fhe obferves, too that the very-
Lady whom (he had heard remark the "
Love" of the admiring Man of Faihion

for-- his friends Wife-never fails

to invite the Sighing follower to every
party in which the .object of his foul
pa if; on is: to make One.—— this may fur-
3pri?.e her at hrlt, perhaps——but it foon

grows too familiar.---She obferves

ih..t women of the hrft faihion make it
a Rule—.abd that though it is impofllble
but that, k mail be remarked by others
well £s by herfelf. yet th.-.fe good na-
turc.d.' very convenient Ladies, are ne-
vtfthefefs treated with as much apparent

and reconciled thus by daily obfervation
how can we be furprifed if d.e thinks

Adultery a Peccadillo-----and that if d.e

can but avoid public detection, fhe is
guilty of no offence ? thus prepared to
make a good Wife, our young Lady
of Faihion is probably sscldr-effed by fon.e

Peer, who wants her Fortune-and

fhe joyfully accepts his hand, to ob-
tain—not one Tide—but too—the firft,
to a Coronet—the fecond, to take that
full fwing,thc pl'cafurc or which, in Indea
fhe had fo often anticipated—She-
thinks it would be very Gothic, as well
as very, incor.fident, to lrnmagine that
Love in the mulled degree necefiary be-
fore Man:age, which in fx weeks after
it, would be cCflfi&ered by every well
bread perfon, as a proof of Rufticity, &
fbocking Maimers, and it is really very
immaterial what were the Motives that

influenced them---fmce whether they

loved each other, cv not, the bufineis
mod likely will terminate the fame way

at lad---emv in proportion to ti t

degree of Love, k will be fo much the
longer delayed or Sooner haltened. It is
impofliblc that any love can withftand
the lives^ which good Breeding renders
it ipcumbent in them to lead. Fafhion
requires that they fnouid affect .indilfer-
tnce, even though they fhould feci it

nnt„--and at laft-what only

at firft was aflcctation —becomes real—
They are hardly ever together througn

the day-and if they douid happen to

be at the fame party at night, they will
blufh to be feen near each other, though
perhaps both, at firfi, wUh it crhcrwifc
—Habit at length prevaUe—and the
Company of neither becomes necefiary
for the others happine's—he fafhionably
flirts It with otlier Women —and fne
cea!;s to beinfenlibLe to the attention of
furrounding Admireis. At firft perhaps

fne permits rheir afuduties--merely in

compliance with that tyrant faihion,
which fire fees no one "wifh to diiob.ey.
Rut at lad accultoroed to every Man's
Company, more than to her hufoands
fome men either more.artful, or more
agreeable than, the red, discovers a weak

fide-adapts his manners to her ideas

and under the cloak of friendship, mere
friendfhip minds his fteps, at a refpecfful
diftance—:—'till, by imperceptible ad-
vances, having at length attracted her pi-
ty—j—his buiinefs is foon accompiided.
He proceeded on fhure ground, from
the moment that he was certain fhe per-
ceived his attentions, and yet did not
w fh to avoid giving him opportunities
of paying- them, he could nor wifii for
greater.enco.uragem.cnt, than to fee her
Ker fmileon him with complacence, and

and converfe without reftralnt--after

he had giving marks of his regard, and
of his wifh tcrbc her attendant.
