spectacle situations. Besides paying you
well, say from eight to fifteen dollars per
week, including your meals, you will
have a fine opportunity of seeing the
grand Centennial Exhibition every day.
You will therefore see the necessity of re-
plying early, as we want to engage every
body we want by the middle of April, and
then have them thoroughly drilled and
posted by the time the exhibition opens
We have decided to select young ladies
from out Of town, because the ncighbOr-
ing cities should lie benefited as well as
Philadelphia. OF course, your parents
will object to your leaving home. 1t
would, therefore, be best for you to say
nothing about this until you are here, and
then to write to them. However. you can
do as you please about that. We would
like to have you here by the 18th of
April. Answer Immediately, when we
will send you a letter of instructions how
10 come to Philadelphia, how to see US,
and how to proceed. Your wages will be
decided as soCn as you come, and paid to
you in advance for the first four weeks,
commencing the day after you get here"
The letter is undoubtedly calculated to
lead young girls into some sort of disrep-
utable net, and no attention should be
paid to any Of that sort The idea, proba-
bly,, is TO induce young women to go to
Philadelphia, and, once there, they will
soon fall into wicked hands.-Reading
