it will be the same this year. The

Letters 10 Onr Girls.

DEAR GIRLs.-It has long been a
cause of modification to us, to see SO
many of your marriagable sex live
life of maidenhood. Not that it is
your choice. Oh no! But, it is your
own faults that none of you are not
married at pa, when the bloom on
your cheek is at its climax, and before
your sweet tempers are soured. But
alas how many Of you keep waiting
for better offer; you have got your
little heads full of princes, million
aires, silks and diamonds. from read
ing the abominable novels of the day,
and you turn up your pretty little
noses at any real good worthy mechanic
because he is poor, and 8 times out of
10 your millionaire never comes along,
and at about the age of 35, when your
beauty is faded and you are as sour as
crab-apples, you marry an old plug to
save yourself from going on the shelf,
and are peevish and waspish all the
rest of your days. Then you have
time to reflect on your past foolishness.
Say Miss Pert, don't you remember
fifteen years back that an honest young
farmer, whose hands were rough but
whose heart was true, asked you to be
his bride, and you spurned his offer
because he could not give you servants
and carriages. All! you were pretty
then, and he is wealthy now, that's all.
And you Miss Prim, a dry goods clerk
proposed tn you some twenty years
ago, but you told him that he had not
stamps enough. True, his salary was
only SO week, but he owns the estab
l:shment now. What is that some of
you say. you never had an offer? Well
we'll tell you the reason, you scared
your lovers. You had hardly gotten
an introduction before you said that
the man who married you must toe
the mark. shell out the shekels, etc.
We don't wonder that the poor fellow
never proposed, but took a dose of
Rough on Rats instead. Again, just
so long as some of you will presist in
daubing your faces with powder and
paint, iust SO long will your lovers
stay away after the first good night
kiss? Because men cannot digest
vermillion and white lead, consequent
ly. PAINTERS collie carries them off.
Then abandon the stuff, and present
your cheek as nature made it
sweet and clean--and we can appre-
ciate it even il it be as treckled as a
speckled trout. We would as soon
kiss a hy-poison pad as to press our
lips to check having artificial color
ing. But, dear girls, your worst fail
ing of all is your unsuitable appetite
for ice-cream. What sense is there in
eating six Or seven dishes at one sett-
ing, when you must know that your
beau can hardly afford to pay for one.
Like it? OF course you do, but you
should never let your stomach run
away with your judgment. Depend
upon it, ice cream has indefinitely
postponded many marriage. Now,
we guess that we have said enough
for the present. We regret having to
write Ia this severe style but love of
country constrains us. We hope that
you will take u hint and govern your
selves accordingly. Our next letter
will deal with That part OF your head
gear called bangs.
