:" My pretty little dears-You are no more
fit for matrimony than pullet is to look after
fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls
you want generally speaking more liberty and
less fashionable restraint, more kitchen and
less parlor, more egexercise and less sofa. more
making buildings and less piano, more frank
ness and less mock modesty, more breaklas,
and less hustle. ! like the buxom, frightened,
rosy-cheeked, fullbreasted, bouncing lass, who
can darn stockings, make her own frocks, mend
trowsers, command regiment Of pots and ket-
ties, milk the cow, feed the pigs, chop wood,
shoot wild duck as well as the Duchess OF
Marlborough or the Queen of Spain, and be a
lady withal in the drawing room. But as for
your pining, moplng. screwed up, novel-de-
vouring daughters Of fashion and idleness. you
won't do for the future wives and mothers.'

the younger a beauty, and the mothers pet.

The mothers heart smote her and from that
