For girls who have passed the first stage Of

mites for Observing, from its first establishment
Mrs. T. possesses, in remarkable degree, the
talent of commanding The respect, confidence and
affection OF herpupils, and of inspiring them with
that interest and ador in their pursuits, 50 essen
lial 10 success.
The social standing, refinement, and genuine
worth Of the Doctor and Mrs. Togno are such,
that shall esteem it fortunate 10 have the oppor-
unity of con.idins 10 their charge my own daugh-
ter. a, an age when her mind aud manners are 10
