The author of this little work aims to cor
rect. "a class Of current faults and foibles
which, though seemingly Of minor importance.
and hence too often ignored, are nevertheless
the most insidious agents Of domestic infelicity,
as well as tho fruitful source of mischief to
society; and to this end the work IL couched
in plain, familiar language, and its lessons pre-
sented, 1t is hoped, in pleasing and attractive
form, thus adapting it to its legitimate field Of
infuence--ths household" The book Is
very clevsrly written and vein of satire per-
vsdes the criticisms that makes them exceed
ingly enjoyable. The topics discussed are
numerous and varied, comprising nearly all
the trying situations Of a young lady's life

the street, tho morning after the ball, as
singer, preparing for party, one Of her conf
dantes, how she meets her most intimate
friend, her views of flirting cooking, pc-nicing,

all the way up to marriage and house. keeping.
We should advise all young ladies to take a
sly peep at this book.
