WHAT SHALL WE 10 WITH CUR
DAUGHTERS.

1t is impossible to express nv re-
gard for brilliant mind. Phrenol-
ogists say that without a great head
it is folly to attempt to deliver a
lecture. As the size Of my hat is
only six and seven ighths | will
take the advice of the phrenologists
and merely make a few remarks.
The great question which seems
to occupy the public mind at present
is "What shall we do with our
daughters?" The voice of society
cries out "Marry them" Wise men
write and say Retain their fresh.

expect them to do SO if you allow

Many of You have noticed the new
style OF walking. 1t is moss per.

say our daughters are making a
desperate effort to acquire it. The

be much easier imagined than des-

A small piece of heIi9tro2e placed
in the back portion of the hair will
exercise magic influence, or in
other words, will create an additional
brain power, provided the lady has
any. The prevailing fashionable
hat is the "Gainsboro," trimmed
with calico roses and plaid tulips ;
the effect is electrical. TLere is one
great advantage gained by wearing
this kind Of a hat; no matter how

rest fully assured that her presence
