The conventional idea is that those two yearsara to be devoted to "fuishing” an education that has in many cases been very perfanetery from the fist. Besides which, many parents have it at the back of their minda that their daughter on coining out is the one young lady who is going to take the town, by storia, and must therefore lie low in the meanwhilo, ao fimt her charme may burst suddenly on an expectant world.
Parties and social amusements practionlly do not exist for the sixteen-year-old "miss"; she can no longer enjoy children's pleasures; and no others are open to her; plays, except of rather a feeble sort, aro consitiored. "too advanced," though the dullest concerts are looked upon with favour. If there is entertaining! at home, twelve years-old is allowed to appear, while sixteen has to sit moping in the schoolroom; if there is a house party at home, it is probable that sixteen will be sent to spend a week with a dull maiden, Aunt. These and many other restrictions make the last year or two of a girl's life in the schoolnoom very triste; her society is practically restricted to a governess, which class, however estimable, is -net of the liveliest.
