| ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES.
A Double Bsrrslsd Shot st Folly on
| the Wing.
lFrom the Boason Cengrega ationalist.l
First, you are perfect idiots to 60 on
In this way. Your bodies are the most
beautiful Of Gods creations. In the
continental galleries I always saw the
largest groups Of people gathered about
the pictures Of women. It was not pas
sion; the gassrs were just ~ likely to be
women - men; it was because Of the
wondrous beauty Of perfect woman's .
body. ..
Now, stand with mo 1t my Office
window and see . lady pass. There
GOES one! Now, isn't that . pretty
looking object? A big hump. three
big Jumps, wilderness Of crimps and
frills, hauling up Of the dress here and
there, an enormous, hideous mass OF
hair Or bark piled on top Of her head,
surmounted by little fiat, ornamented
with bits of lace, birds tails, &c. The
shop windows tell you all day long Of
the paddings, whalebones, and steel
springs which occupy most Of the space
within that outside rig.
In the name OF all tho sweet scnti-
ments which cluster about . home,
would ask, how Is man to fall In love
with such piece Of compound, double
twisted, touch-me-not artificiality, as
yol sec in the wriCsling curiosity just
passsdf
Secondly, with the wasp. waist,
squeezing your lungs, stomach, liver.
and other vital organs, into one-half the
natural size, how can any man Of sense,
who knows that life is made up of use,
Of sense, Of service, Of work, how can ho
take such partner He r,ust be des-
perate, indeed, to unite himself for life
with such a fettered, hGlf.breathing Or
namsnt.
Thirdly, your bad dress aud lack Of
exercise lead to bad health, aud men
wisely fear thct instead Of a helpmatc,
they would get an invalid TO take OF.
This bad habit in you, just as in men,
makes the mind, A. well a. the body,
faddled and eifeminate. You have no
power, aud use big aijectives, such as
splendid" No magnetism. l know
you giggle freely, lawful" but then
this don't deceive US; we can ses thro' it
all. You arc superficial, affected, silly;
you have none Of that womanly strength
and warmth which Is 80 assuring aud
attractive 10 man. Why, you become
80 childish and weak minded that you
refuse to wear decent names, even, and
insist upon baby names. Instead If
Helen, Margaret and Elizabeth, you
affect Nellie, Maggie and Lizzie. When
your brothers were babies, you called
them Robbie, Dickey, and Johnny; but
when they grew up to manhood, no
II. ore of that silly trash, if you please.
But know q woman OF % years, and
shs is as big as both my grandmothe ers
put together, who insists upon being
| called Kitty, though her real name Is
Catharne, and although her brain Is
big enough to conduct affairs Of state,
she docs nothing but giggle, co.er her
face with her fan. and exclaim, once in
four minutes, Don't row, you're real
mean."
How can man propose life partner
to such silly goose?
My dear girls, you must, il you want
to get husbands, and decent ones, dress
in plain, neat and becoming garment.
and talk like sensible, earnest sis
ters.
You say that the most sensible men
are crazy after those butterflies Of fash.
ion. I beg your pardon, it is not so.
Occasionally man Of brilliant success
may marry a silly weak woman, but as
l have heard woman say hundred
times, that the most sensible men choose
women without sense, is simply absurd
Nineteen times in twenty, sensible men
choose sensible women. grant you
that in company they are very likely tc
chat and toy with those overdressed and
, forward creatures, but they don't ask
them to go to the altar with them.
Fourthly, among the young men In
the matrimonial market, only = small
number are independently rich, and in
America, such very rarely make good
husbands.
But the number Of those who are jus
beginning in life, who are filed with ,
noble anbition-who have FUTURE!
very large. These are worth having
But such will not, they dare not, ash
you to join them while they see you SC
idle, silly, and SO gorgeously attired
Let them see that you are industrious
economical, with habits that secure
your health and strength, that your lf,
is earnest and real, that you would b.
willing to begin at the beginning il
life with the man you would consent tt
marry. then marriage would become
the rule, and not, rs now, the excep
ton.
