one or two things very plainly. Boston
women, young and old, dress in excellent
taste. in stylish garments, but appear ready
to modify the fashion for their own indi-

well dressed much better than if they
simply consulted the fashion and ignored
their own brains They are, perhaps, more
seli-reliant than their sisters in less favored
localities, but this is shown much more in
their willingness and desire to see that
their companions have their full rights,
than in any effort they make to claim their
own. And ! always claim, and always
shall claim, that an intellectual woman
cannot, in the very nature of things, be
other than attractive And this explains

il lawful for any citizen or settler to re-
