be lady-like. Brother Tom can kick up
his heels and become as hardy ss a little
Indian. Tho only reason against girls
doing so, that I know Of is, that it i,
not womanly. Tho worst epithet against
a boy is a girl boy. II you would make
q boys heart glow tell him that he will
be a man before his mother.
Those who think and argue that
womsn are incapable of hard work over
look the fact that they are trained
against it. Girls are more trained to
good behavior than true virtue. Good
behavior means to little girls merely
a certain nj Of walking and out
ward demeanor. Every mother has a
score of anecdotes to tell about her OWE
little girl. never met n yet who had
not.
Miss Logan then related a number Of
anecdotes, showing the simplicity Of
little girls. Tho principal division
among little girls, that mothers make,
are our little girls and other peoples
little girls. The divisions of big girls
are
i. Inc rdsnlOuuule VIII.
2. The Beautiful Girl.
;. The womanly Girl.
4. The Yankee Girl.
s. The Western Girl.
6. The Strong.minded Girl.
OF each of these typical girls Miss
Logan then proceeded to speak at
length ; but first she said there were
two other classes, of which she could
not take time to speak separately, and
they were bad girls, to-wit: Those who
did not come to hear her lecture; and
good girls, namely, those who came aud
staid through it, and " called it first
rate" Fashionable girls the lecturer
again divided into two heads those
who arc given up to dress and fashion
body and soul /; and those who only en-
Joy the beautiful in dress and who sub
init to oppressive conyentionalities from
custom, but with great searchings .of
heart.
She had met a girl at Long Branch,
last summer, who thought Of nothing
but dress. She talked and thought of
,nothing but the fashions. She could
ciggle, or say Chow queer" But let
gentlemen speak to her Of dress, and
her lips we're unsealed and poured forth
a perfect torrent Of nonsense. What
such q being was created for cannot
imagine, except to suffer matrimony
With some handling fop, who is good for
nothing else but to wear a seal ring aud
sye.glass.
Now for the latter class. They have
different hobbies. Sometimes in art,
paintings, literature, etc.; perhaps re-
ligiou; sometimes charity; when she
plunges into embsoideries for the South
Sea islanders, or some article for the
Inhabitants Of the Five Points, who 60
out into the streets and sell them for
something to eat. l know of q good
opening for this class Of girls, which is
the Wemsn's Rights cause.
There are Hundreds of women looking
forward with bright eyes to the realiza-
ton Of this. Many o woman who COM
msnces to talk Of woman's rights in
o will end with earnsstuess. l look
for the day when hundreds Of fashion
able girls will come over to u sides,
and then its success is assured.
The speaker then spoke Of tho anti
slavery spirit, and attributed its success
TO this cause. So will 1t DO now,
though not through such dark and
bloody channels, yet it will DO as GER
tain.
Now my next class is the beautiful
girl. Tho poets of every age have
Landed woman's beauty to the sky, and
mon have raved through the literature
Of generations of the marvellous wonder
of womau's beauty. OF all girls in tue
world this girl is the most difficult to
advise.
Men, Miss Logan said, had caused
women to overrate beauty by prating
about it, and forever singing its praises.
"You were to win q woman's regard BY
prai,ing her beauty, though she be as
ugly as one Of Dore's imps, or as homely
as a hedge fence" This sort Of girl
Miss Logan found it very hard to admire;
and she went on to give some very
wholesome advice to the young ladies
in the audience, which was to this effect:
that they were not to underrate their
beau,y-for 1t was no use to say that
sensible men despised its charm; they
no more despised it than they despised
strawberries and cream, and they
smaeked their lips both at the dish and
the beauty whenever they raw either;
but they were not to make it the sole
thought Of their lives, o to forget that
the solid roast beef Of sense, cultivation
and virtue were the mainstays Of mas
culius appetite after all. :.
Men, however, cannot live thus, aud
they will get so sick of strawberries and
cream that their moral natures will turn
sour. You may think that / suppose
that marriage is the sole end of the life
of girls. Well, so 1t is. She spoke to
her friends, saying, "cultivate your
beauty, but do not commit the terrible
mistake of suppo,ing it is all that is
necessary" There is nothing 90 dis
appointing in our sex az that beauty
without the fragrance, that is pictured
by the words: "That soulless, BRAIN
less, beautiful thing"
The lecturer then gave a thrilling pic
ture of the end Of the girl who depended
entirely upon her beauty. By the term
"womauly GIRL" Miss Logan intended
to designate the poor creatures who dis
believed in woman suffrage and in
"woman's rights" That was the class,
the speaker said, in whose praise the
men were all so loud nowadays, and
whom they represented "as the sole
hope Of q dark and awful future."
When the emblem Of a free race 10 Of
fered to her she will stand back and re-
ject it, and the men will rally around
her as they never did around a candi-
date for the Legislature. There are
quite a number of gentlemen who are
willing to coneede everything to women
exeeptthe question Of political equality.
