Why do WI pinch our fsst in tight
slipper, or wear thin gaitss in warm
weathsrl To please the gents, to Be-
sure! What girl has not heard her
uncle, brother, male cousin, nay,
even her iather, speak in raptures Of
email fsst, and laugh at largo oas.l
Can they blame u, then, if We sacri-
ace comfort, and even health, 10 please
tl,s,ol Il in neither pleasant nor CON-
Portable tor 10 to walk over with tight
thin shoes on; neither 10 it pleasant
to be pointed .'ut = the girl with
clumsy, large fect.' And %, Out Of
two evils we choose the least.
Why do We attend winter parties
clad in thin clothes, with SIMS AMI
necks barel
Because We often near gentlemen
speak OF other girls looking - il they
we're choked with their dresses tight
round their tlnoats;' or, such . ones
.lress was more suitable for . funeral
than N evening party. How, again
they will 60 ikto extacies over the
gossamer diapery ot some city bslls;
and praise her alabaster Oh uuldsss
aud perfect xnLs."
After Ill this, can We be expected
to wear thick, dark dressesi You
would not wish us to. Then why
blame US!
Why do We load ourselves with 20
much clothing in warm weatl,erl
All, there it is again. Now, tell
me csdidly who among you would be
willing to invite to . picnic any girl
who looked " you term it, like .

we love to wear all this amount Of
cottohf Not at all; but ~ DO not like
to be neglected. and called dow,lies,
20 We take the bur len upon ~, oil for
your sake.
Why do we ,nince at the table, and
scarcely at enough to keep bird
alivei Did not Byron hate to ses \
woman eat, AMI do you not quote BY
ron to MS and watch every mouthial
we eatl | only wish yon could see Us
at the cupboard when We get ely
chance. We donot I've on air, BY any
means; oh no! you will find il ont in
time.
Why are We not always in redinass
tn receive calisl Hsv, you yet to learn
that dress 10 ell put on. and that We
must have sometime to arranged What
If We 10 keep you waiting = few min
utss, when YOU call 1t unreasonable
b.urs, are We not making oil the haste
We en-, while you are pacing the par.
lor like Gagged bsanl We have ono
dress to unhook, and another to hook
up, making about City Of these little
f.stcuings to deal with. (You can't
think what bother You ars.) Ihsn
We must take the papsrs from orr hair
o, you would b. horri6sd. You I'll
admire ringlsis, aud no doubt you
think thai they should always hang 10
graceful, shining ciusten, slesD'iag q
waking, always IN order, needing no
attention except . gentle toss Of ths
head = novel writer's tell you. Bat
let me tell you curls sEs not fixed
iscss.' They are more tIosLls than
al the rest Of our toilet. For some.
times even your tenslersst notss fail
to give them the right twist. II you
acmise cufls, you should never ls
frightened 1t curl papsrs.
Why do ws attend parties, balls
and eoaests every night daring The
ssasoiii Who takes ~, prayf Do Jon
not beg us to goi and il We refuse on
some oecasiops, don't you take your
revenge by never inviting us aesinl
We do not always wish to 70, neither
do We wish to b entirely excluded
from these scenes. We g. all the

TOR. We world prefer little Of bssh
but you order it otherwise.
Why do we laugh 70 much when
