SIS to cultivate sociability, entertain

and moral propensities of our mem
| bers, teach one another how to be
true woman and lady. I suppose
that you all know that we have more
married people in this city to the
square incl than any other camp in
the Territory. and the consequences
are that we have the best camp and
the best class of people. You know
that the men think, as rule, that We
women don't amount to anything in
the battle of life; but l tell you this
world would be very lonesome one
to the lords of creation without
Sarah and Lizzie, Jane and Mary
Ann. l tell you my friends more de-
pends on US to make this world
happy one for both sexes than you

cooked food, plenty of ii aad clean,
and it will act like chnrms Man is
rather cranky, you know, when he
is hungry and tired. Don't ask him

that he vas the man and the only
one 1 could look upon. But remem-
ber that the fine feathers don't make
the best and most agreeable bird.
You pay attention and you shall find
that these plain fellows, good
ed, full of common sense and pluck,
are the best men"
"But fine feathers make q fine
bird" said sister sally.
cob! no, my dear girl, you are de-
ceiving yourself; you can dress
burro in silks and satins but it will
be burro still. Some of us women
deceive ourselves ia that, we think
ecause we are able to dress better
than our neigh bors that we are better
aud higher up in society. 1t is wrong.
Mrs. or Miss So-and-So is just as good
as we are as long as she acts honor
able and lady-likt. Let US try our
best to benefit one another, elevate
each other, teach one another to d
right, not to offend any person. Let
us treat every body with respect and
love and help one another"
