ryG yKus-Some papers have recently found
fault with the practice Of wearing veils-averriag
that 1t was 44mischicyously prevalent this year,
and objected TO II because they are 80 terribly
annoying and tantaizing to sensitive young men.
To this lady answers, with much truth, as fol-
lows:
s.This Il one Of the very best reasons that could
be given for wearing them. Wells save women
from vast amount Of annoying impertinencc.
Il requires no small degree Of resolution for
sensitive young girl to pass the corner OF street
where knot of these susceptible young men are
congregated, knowing that all the curious eyes
will be turned upon her, and that her eyes, hair,
walk, Dress size Of shoes and gloves, will be
marks Of their close and impudent observation.
Wells have a special sanitary use during the
summer months, in the projection afforded from
the disagreeablc influence Of the sun and wind;
but if comfort did not call for them, We should
advocate their use until young men acquire the
first rules Of politeness and good manners in
