every thing that is bright. met a
girl at Long Branch W 10 thought of
nothing else but dress. II II led to

her attention unless | spoke. of dress
What in the world to do with such
Il giil as this | ,lun'i know, indeed.
She mrst have been created for some
purpose; perhaps for s"nte Top or

and then look out for an army of in
tcllrct.
The chief fault of the beautiful
Girl is, that she ovrrrates herself. and
is encouraged in a thouS md instanc
es, for there is no end To the praise
of men. The novelist. poet and art
list always make woman appear
with IL pretty face. 1t is madness to
expect n girl to ,-aSS through the
world and not find ont her power.
OF all the girls in the world this girl
is the most difficult TO advise.
If you tell Il girl that sensible men
do not care fm Il pretty face, she
slintS her ear. Yen might just as
we'll say yon did nnt like Strawher

that l talk as though marriage was
the chief destiny. The generality o
are ready to rush into matrimony
