Julia's "keerdn is little muddled in its COM
position, since 1t is impossible to tell whether it
is the wicked Joseph or the fair Sophia who
has been engaged to ''some one else the second

rights, Julia has set an example to all the race
OF manageable girls, which, we suggest it
would not be a bad idea for them TO follow. If
every Tilted girl will resent her wrongs IN this
way, the effect will be wonderfully conducive of
moral and social reform. 1t is far better than
