Fifst, You are perfect idiots to go on in
this way. IaYour bodies are the mos
beautiful !of, Gods creations. In the Con
ttuental galleries, 4 always saw groups o.
people gathered about the pictures OF wO
men. twas not passion; the gazers vert
Just as likely to be women as men; 1t wa:
because Of tho wonderous beauty Of a wo
mans body. L.
Now, stand with me at my office win
dow and sec lady pass. There goes
one! Now; isn't that"a pretty looking
ob1ectY "A big hump, three Dig Jumps, q
wilderness OF Crimps ind frills, o hauling
up Of tho dress, here and there, an enor
nous, hideous mass Of false hair or bark
piled on top Of her, head, surmounted by Q
little fiat, ornamented with bits Of lace
birds tails, etc, ctc.-Tle shop Windows
tell us,' all day long; Of tile padding whale
bones and steel springs, which occupy
most of the space within that outside rig
In tho. name Of all tho simple, sweet
sentiments which cluster about home,
would ask, how Is q man to fall In love
with such o piece Of compound, double
twisted, touch. me.not 0rtifciallts, as you
see THAT wriggling curiosttyY aS W! y
Secondly, with thatwasp waist, squcez'
ing your lungs, stomach, liver and other
vital organs, into 0ne-halt their natural
size, and with that long trail dragging on
tho ground, how Gun any man Of scns1
who knows that life is made up OF use, Of
service, OF work, how can he take such q
partnerg lie must be desperate indeed,
to unite himself for lileswitll such q tetter'
ed, halt.breathing ornament !JL ]. ~
Thirdly, your bad dress and lack oil ex-
erclse lead to bad health, and men wisely
fear that instead Of helpmate they would
get an invalid to tNke care Of. This bad
health in you, Just as in men; makes the
mind aswell aS tile Obody faddled and Of
feminate.o YouhaVe no power, no mag.
netisml know you giggle freely and
use big adiectivcs, such US Splendid,
"awfil," but then this don't deceive us;
we can sec through it all. You are su.
petfcial, affected, silly; you have none Of
that womNnly strength and warmth
which arc so assuring and attractive to
man. Why you became so childish and
weak minded that you refuse 10 wear
decent names even, and insist upon baby
NAMES. Instead Tof' Helen, Margaret
and Elizabeth, YOU affect Nellie, Maggie
and Lizzie. IVhen your brothers were
babies you called them Robby, Dicky and
Johnny; but when they grow up to man
hood, no more of that silly trash If you
please. But I know o woman Of rs years,
and she Is as big as both my grnhdmoth'
crs put together, who insists on beng calf
cd Kitty, and her real maine, Is C4thHrine
and although her brain Is big enough, tq
conduct affairs Of state, she docs nothing
but gigglc, cover up lier face with hel
fan, ind. cxclaiul once in four minutes
1Don't now, you arc real mean .s,
How can q man propose life partner
ship to such silly goose? My dear girls
YOU must, il you wothd get husbands
and decent ones, dress in plain, neat, be-
coming garments, and talk like sensible
earnest sisters. .........-. ..... OBJ.
You say that the most sensible men arc
crazy after these butterflies Of fashion.
beg your pardon, it isnot SO: Occasional
" aman Of brilliant success may marry
silly, weak woman, but as l have heard
woman say hundred times, that the
most sensible men choose women without
sense, Is simple absurd Nineteen times
initwenty sensible men choose sensible
women. i grant you that in company
they arc very likely to chat and toy will
those overdresscd and forward creatures
but they don'task them to go to the ALTA

Fourthly--A1nong helyoung men IL
tho matrimonial market, only q very
small number arc independently rich, ant
iniAmerica such very rarely make goot
husbands. But the number OF those wht
arr, just beginning in life, who arc tiIlet
with noble ambition, who, have future
IS very, large. These are worth having
But such willnot, they dare not, ask you
to join them, while they sec you 80 idle
silly, ands gorgeously attircd. Let then
see that you are industrious, economical
with habits that secure your health anC
strength, that your life Is earnest and real
that you would be willing to begin at the
beginning in life with tho man you woulC
consent 10 marry, then marriage will be
