daughters Of many advantages by not
sending them 70 Mrs. Mold. My young
friend Informed me that the Seminary
was 10 her pleasant 'hone,' and
from what saw, II certainly must be
10 all who are committed 10 the care
OF Mrs. Mold and her accomplished
and amiable daughters.
The Seminary IL delightfully."- situat-

Speaking Of Louisville AS a superior

This house has also workshops and a
studio in CArrara, Italy, under the d.

readers who may desire anything In

them, do better than by corresponding
with this house.
