affecting a low and lispiBg tone, pro-
badly from the idea that this is an
indication Of 4 gentle and delicate
spirit; bu, trust you have all too
much taste and good sense, not to
feel how false and ridiculous are such
notion, of female delicacy. The time
has gone by, when it was necessary
for a female to seemisnorant or child
ish in order to be interesting. Wo-
men are now looked upon as rational
beings, endowed with faculties capa-
bic of Improvement, and bound in
duty to assume a high rank in the
scale Of intelligence. Even beauty
has learned, that connected with ig-
norance and folly, she must give pre-
cedence to the plainest features j
radiated with intelligence and good
sense. ] speak not now Of a ball OF
