Young Woman's Part in Life,

Ihere' Is. somethlngin a pleasant faced
damscl which takes young mans eye
whether he will or-no. Itmay be.magnet-
ism. 1t may be the sympathy of that
which is beautiful inmen's natures for that
which is lovely in woniens. The women
have great power over thc sex called stern
or. Particularly SO, if they be young, prct-
ty and marriageable. Young women! do
