FoUTAIN, Mimi, July 15.-It is we'll,
perhaps, that the woman who so truly
embodied the typical idea of what an
American woman should be, and can
be, has passed away over the borders to
the world without end, and has entered
into her reward, for to Mrs. RIB. Hayes
there were many honors to be given.
But as the woman that has passed
four years in the White house as the
first lady in the land" she was a
true ideal representative of what
every woman of America should be,
as leader, wife add mother, and
as friend and neighbor none could COM
plain of neglect. AS Western woman
she perhaps did not have the polish that
belongs to the gay world Of fashion, but
she did have the polish of the religion
of the Bible, and in that she had all
that was needful to represent the good
and true American woman. There was
no pretense, or anything done for show
ing off by Mrs. Hayes. No time given
to her was passed in the silly round of
fashionable follies. or i'll trying to make
HCIECll COllSDlCuOuC, ttuO thO
whole United States constantly
awake to see what the next
movement would bring to view. AS a
Western woman time was precious to
her and well improved, and thus we
find her stricken at her post of duty,
still representative of model woman
and Christian charity that never lets
time run away in idleness when she can
do for others or herself.
She has gone forever, but her exam
pie remains with the women of tn
land, where her life work was we'll
done, and the women of the West
can feel an honest pride in
the memory of Mrs. r. B. Hayes.
True, 1--WE have Mrs. Gen. Grant and
Mrs. Gen. Garfield as representative
women of the West, to say nothing of
the present lady of the White house,
who is Westerner still, and none are
ashamed of their birthplace, but all
these ladies speak volumes in praise of
women that will live and die faithful to
their duty as wives and mothers if they
never see the White house, and be glad
to have the world see what the West
has done. and still can do in furnishing
the model lady for the presidential
mansion, no matter as to the political
side of the question, but let her
be woman with dignified character,
that will be representation of the Wo-
manly women of this great nation, of
free people that will not submit to any
interference III its affairs from outside
parties. Just now the pail hangs over
the West, for one of its most lovable
women has gone away from earth, and
we women of the West have lost out of
our ranks one that has made the East
acquainted with a true Western wom
an, and one whose example should

Such women are all over the West,
many in homes of real worth and great
wealth, and thousands of them are
among the everyday workers and in
humble homes, but they are all work.
ing for the same end in view-the up
lifting of women from downward
ways and out into the freedom of a
higher aim in the home life and brighter
light the Swallowed way. To the
women of the West will be intrusted
the shining lamp that will guide the
sex from the senseless thraldom of the
fashions and follies that now
prevail to such an extreme in the
East as to make the majority of
It's women mere HSuFeS upon WHICH
merchants may advertise their goods,
and the one idea of marrying some rich
man who will deck her out as puppet
is decked for show, and then take her
out on exhibition to some place of
amusement, or to some social gathering
where others meet her with about the
same amount of brains, and great dis
play of fine merchandise. Very true,
this same display may 0e seen in the
West, but is not common occurrence,
and it is condemned most heartily by
the better class of people, and so
it should be, for the Western
women should have more sense
than to make mercantile walking adj
vertisement of themselves. Take the
most prominent and respected ladies in
your town and look carefully into the
reason for their popularity, and you
will not find it in their dress, but they
are educated to have soul above that
most convenient article, dressed to
fits" and carry it in their heads for
daily use, and at odd times you may
hear words of wisdom tall from their
lips, which it would be we'll to heed as
you pass by. The dressed to fits'' girls
never amount to much of anything in
