Are you not aware that the qualities
which every sensible. high-minded gentle
man most admires ia a young lady, and
which be would seek for most anxously in
his choice of wife, are modesty and artess-
ness Now. coming upon stage, before
mixed audience OF three or -four hundred
persons, seems to me rather questionable

modestv which is woman's greatest claim /;
whilst the necessity for change OF feature
voice and manner requisite to win the plau-
dts Of the " admiring tbrong " are far from
being the Safeguards Of artlessness and SIM
plicity.

tions Of schools, in which each pupil bas an
opportunity Of displaying his or her pro-
ficiency in the various branches of study
