Young LADIES' may, for a moderate dis.
t,nct Charge acquire at the Academy, the
ornamental arts, such as Landscape, Fl
Egure, and flower drawing, and painting,
together with Vocal and Instrumental Mu-

branches shall be entirely left to Parenss

t.ons.---As to the terms, l. III. Gir1rdin is
convinced that they will be found salts
i factory, never having observed a reluc.
ltance on the part of Parents ard Guardi-
ans to be just, and even liberal, where a..
bilities, zeal, and system are combined.
J The above plan will be carried into O..
