To the Editor Of the NV Do~.slos:

sd Thiags.
To the Editor Of the NEW Dox1sIox:
/ am tempted 10 talk, this time,
about slelghing, 4.the music of the
BELLS and '.the beautiful snow" but
/ resist the temptation, because l
don't want to be called giddy. l
will say this much, however: The
man who will not take his wife, his
daughter or somebody else's daugh-
ter sleighing when the snow is sent
expressly for that purpose is a
mighty mean man. He's as bad as
Bob Ingersoll, and there is no hope
for him. If any nice young man
would like to know my address let
him consult the city directory.
OF the eight teachers employed in
the Morgantown public schools six
are ladies. OF the pupils who attend
l suppose fully one-half are girls.
The Board of Education is composed
entirely of men. Why not let at
least one of the places on the Board
be filed by woman? l don't mean
to say anything against the present
members of the Board; don't know
anything against them. But l do
know several women in Morgantown,
any one of whom would be an honor
to any Board of Education. Don't
think have an lake to grind Ny
aspirations are not in that direction.
I'D rather sleigh-ride. But at the
next election of school commission
ers, whenever it is, / want to hear
of woman being nominated and
elected. Won't the New DOMINION
lend hand?
Here's another batch of PROPOSE
tons:
LIST, A good sleigh is the noblest
work of man.
End, There are five times as many
church going young ladies in Nor
gantown as there are church going
young gentleman.
Sd, The girl who has the most
"beaux" doesn't always make the
best "catch."
4th, When we women want vote
we'll manage some way to get it.
9th, People who are the strictest
in their views are sometimes the
narrowest and meanest.
9th, Some of Morgantown's Cos
sips will have very long road to
travel to get to heaven.
7th, They are not going that road
now.
sth, Polygamy has struck other
places besides Utah.
Have you ever thought how many
really clever artists there are in ''the
Athens" for a town of its size? If
you haven't, just run over the list.
I'm afraid to begin naming them for
fear l should leave somebody out
and then I'd be crucified. But there
are a full half-dozen really artistic
artists, not including the five hun
dred who paint neck-ties and hat
marks. Etching on fungi, hammer
ing brass and various other lines
have been followed very successfully,
and there is many bit of beautiful
brio -brac here and there through
town which has been designed and
executed right here at home.
Now the question is: Why can't
we have another art loan or some
thing of the kind? I'm in favor of
it, and am going to do what l can
to get it up. Let everybody who is
capable prepare something for zen
try and if all will try we can have
creditable and successful exhibit
in the early spring.
/ don't think it would be violating
any confidence for me to say that
several of the girls are greatly dis
tressed over the nonarrival of the
mails Saturday and yesterday (this
is Tuesday,. / do not know that
any of them were expecting checks
for large amounts of money, neither
have l heard that they were anxious
ly looking for a letter from their
aunt in the West, but somehow they
were greatly disappointed. One Of
them went so far as to abuse the
storm and rail at the weather gen
orally. Some letters you know,
wont keep, even in cold weather.
They have to be used while they are
fresh some of them are too fresh
or they lose all the little substance
they have. Perhaps this is the rea-
son of the general lamentation Here
is another very strong and unan-
swcrable argument in favor of the
railroad. We women are long suf-
fering and much to be pitied people.
BOHEMIAN GIRL.
