Young womanhood !-molasses touched

Now comes our turn. Young womah-

a Cander which is not quito q 0ander
And yet is not goose.

hard to dig, and when dug not worth
shucks-a buckwheat cake badly done on
one side, and nary drop of molasses in
the house-undevelope crinoline-piano

whole family-embryo ballroom ornament
an undeveloped rat-in ''point of fact,

That would be dear at any price

Young womanhood Ia moving mass of
uudeveloped beauty, well supplied with

Young womanhood Ia Florida rose-a
bird of Paradise-a gathered mass OF cali
