youl An, what a natural thing it is Tor
young ladies' who have such hankering
Tor the sterner sex! Ills weakness that
woman has, and ior this reason she is
called the weaker sex. Well, il you want
TO get married. don't for conscience sake
act like fools about it. Don't 20 into fl
of the nips every lime you see hat and
a pair Of wbiskers. Don't get the idea
into your heads that you must put your
self in the way Of every young man in
the neighborhood, in order TO attract no,
ice, for II you don't run afier the men
they will after you. Mark that.
A husband hunter is the most detrsti,
BILE Of all young ladies'. She is full Of
starch and Fuckers. she puts on so many
false airs. and she is so nice that she ap
pears ridiculous in the eyes Of every de.
cent person. She may generally be found
at meeting. coming in, Of course, about
the last one, always at social parties and
invariably takes front seat al concerts.
She tries 10 be the belle Of the place, and
thinks she is. Poor girl! You are fiji.
ting yourself for an old maid. just as sure
as the Sabbath comes on Sunday. Men
will flirt with you, and halter you simply
because they love 10 do it, but they have
no more idea of making you vile than
they have Of committing suicide. If !
was a young man, | would have no more
10 do with such fancy women than |
would with rattlesnake.
Now, girls, let Nelly give you piece
Of her advice. and she knows from expe.
rence that if you practice it you will
gain the reputation oil being worthy girls.
and stand iair chance ofgetting respect
able husbands. ltis all we'll enough that
you learn 10 finger the piano, work EN-
broidery, study grammar. &c, but don't
neglect letting grandma or your dear
mother teach you how to make bread and
get meal OF vicluals good enough for a
king. No part Of housekeeper's duties
should be neglected, if you do not marry
a wealthy husband. you will need 10 know
how TO do such work, and if you do, it
will be no disadvantage for you to know
how 10 oversee servant girl. and instruct
her 10 do these things as you would have
them done. In the next place, don't pre-
tend TO be what you are not. Affec'atlon
is the most despicable Of accomplishments
and will only cause sensible people to
laugh at you. No one but fool will be
caught by affectation-it has transpar.
enl skin. easily 10 be seen through. Dress
plain. but neatly Remember that moth
ing gives a girl so modest, becoming and
lovely an appearance, as neat and plaln
dress. All the nummery and tinsel work
of the dress.maker and milliner are un.
necessary. If you are really handsome,
they do not add to your beauty one parti
Gle; if you are hornely. they only make
YOU look worse. Gentlemen don't court
your faces and jewelry, but your own
dear selves.
Finger rings and folderols may do TO
look at. but they add nothing to the value
of wfe-all young men know that II
YOU know how to talk. do it naturally, and
not be so distressingly polite as 10 spoil
all you say. lfyour hair is straight dom
put on the curling tongs TO make people
think you have negro blood in your veins
If your neck is black. wear a lace col
lar, but don't be so foolish as 10 daub on
paint, thinking that people are so blind a'
not to see it; and il your cheeks are moi
rosy, don't apply pink saucers' for Inc de
ceplion will be detected and become the
gossip oi the neighborhood.
Finally, girls; listen TO the council o.
YOUR mothers, aud ask the ir advice in ev'
eryt ing. Think less Of fashion than you
do kitchen duties-less Of romances than
YOU do Of the realities oil life-and instead
of trying TO catch beaax, strive to make
yourselves worth being caught by them
