do not look to women to correct
this, but fathers, and brothers, and
husbands, and editors to write it up.
wish you, one and all, TO study
the laws of health and obey them.
Another reason why girls should
cultivate good health is, that they
may be beautiful. In the NcwYork
Sun | saw all advertisement of"llay-
dcn's Magnolia Balm" which, it is
said, would make women Of thirty
look as young as q girl of sixteen.
What women of thirty would look
like girl of sixteen ? Girls waste no
money in cosmetics. White lead
enters moro or less in all of them,
and many cases Of nervous disorder
arc brought on by it.
HOW TO DE BEAUTIFUL.
| will give you arcceipt, dear girls,
for nothing, that will preserve your
beauty Of body and soul.
Forhair, complexion and eye, there
is nothing like exercise, eating good
food, bath in cold water every day
hot three times day, as a Cincin-
natl paper made me say; that would
wash out all your vitality. Eat no
chalk, and stone, and India Rubber,
and gum, and slate pencils, DO not
chew and chew as your brothers do.
:. BE kind, generous, noble and mag
unanimous, and you will have halo
about your head which will cause
you to excel in personal beauty,
which you will carry to your grave.
Your mission is not nearly to cat. to
drink, to be merry, to be married
and to be mothers, but to mould your
selves into womanhood. Ever stretch
forward to more grand ideas.
WEALTH.
In the second place, the coming
girl is to be wealthy that is creator
of wealth.
| urge upon parents to educate
girls to proper life work. Onc-halt
the ability of q girl is lost because
she has no ambition for the future.
| want to raise the standard of old
maids. | want to teach women that
marriage as n profession, is nine
times out of ten failure. ! want
to countcract the feeling that labor is
a degradation.
A mighty army of women is now
suffering in Eastern cities from the
fact that the world considers it de-
grading for wCncn to labor. in
New York alone over 10000 women
arc thus situated. Fully thrcc-fourths
Of the girls before me will be called
at some period of their lives to sup
port themselves. To-day the hus-
band and the father may be wealthy,
and tomorrow reverse comes, and
the wife and daughter is left to begin
the hard struggle Of life.
For three years II bill has been be-
fore the Legislature Of New York to
license prostitution. ., men! the
best way to check this vice is to give
women Il place in the field of work
and TO pay her wages for her work
Now there arc thousands who don't
know how to work, and yet must cat
how can they support themselves
by making shirts at ten cents each
This condition is one cause why
the marriage institution is degraded
to-day. How many girls have turn
ed away from some nOblc-mindcd
man who has loved them, and mar.
ricd some miserable degraded and
disSipatcd old fellow because he hap
pcnCd to be II millionaire. You
know well that men with brains don't
stand that chance with women that
men of wealth do. Develop women
properly, and she will chose better.
When a woman marrics Il man for
lis money, she not only sacrifices
herself but dcgradcs him.
WISE WOMEN.
We arc soon to have a new era.
We will have no men ply ysicians
with their practice worth $4,000 per
year. Lawyers with their practice
of $4,000. Preachers with their
$4,000. Postmaster and President of
the United States. Cheers. Arc not
these positions better than teaching
school for mere pittancc? or run
ming u sewing machine in New York
with the gildcd fingers Of vice ever
bcckoning her to exchange drudgcry
for rest? o, father, brother, son
this cause may be nearer your hearts
to-day than you dream of, if your
daughters arc drawn into shame their
sin lies at your door.
