LOUISE TO CLARA.

LOUISE TO CLARA.
Dear Clara
What in the world did ycu
mean last week? You must have
certainly been in one of your Pc
culiar modes. l can't agree with
you in regard to that marriage.
You will not find one women in
the city of Washington to agree
with you. They attended the 18th
st. Presbyterian church last Sab
bath morning and to my surprise
they received three congratuIa-
tions. [ feel 30 sorry for our dear
girl in the northwest. She almost
lost her mind when she heard of
1t. There is an old saying and a
true one, "nothing goes over the
devils back but what comes un-
der, Sc.
l understand that he had the au
dacity to call on her, just before
the marriage took place and in
formed her that it was to be. |
feel sorry for the poor girl and
regret that girls are so weak. L!
Is shame for any man to deceive
woman whom he claims to love.
| am surprised at This marriage
because so many girls were disap-
pointed.

Our genial friend Ex-Governor
?. B. S. PInchbach has bought a
house on 18th st. His wife and
daughter are residing here now.
understand that the winter sea
son will be more lively than it
has ever been heretofore. Color
ed society in this city, like all 9TH
err large cities, has it's faults. The
time has not yet come for the col.
ed people to draw the line of dis
elimination. There is more color
prejudice among this socalled col
ed society in this city than there is
among the white people towards
the coIored There are some col
ored people in this city who are
afraid or ashamed to recognize
some of their associates on the
street. There are a few IN the
departments, and indeed I get 80
disguised at times that 1 don't
know what to do. My advice is
to let society alone and go to
work. Let US accumulate proper
ty, establish business enterprises
and put our girls and boys to
work. There 10 too much society
talk and too little society.
You spoke concerning a visit
you made a friend and while
there her husband gave some I'M
pudence because the wife asked
him where he was going. Nv
dear girl, you have no idea how
many wives are suffering to-day
on account of god for nothing
husbands. No good man will b.
uDklnd to an honest wife nor
will man ilItrest his wife if she
is honest and kind. Men are Of
ten compelled to leave home on
account Of the bad temper Of their
wives; they are often compelled to
fad comfort in a more genial
quarter. In such cases the wo-
men are to blame. Of course all
women are not angels nor are all
men devils.

Why is there 30 much Jealousy
among our people? II girl dress
es well, there will be some talk
about her; if she does not dress
they will talk also, so what are
they to do? If she goes to church
every Sabbath, some one will say
that she goes to show herself; il
she does not 60 it is strange that
she remains in so much. If she
goes out riding with a gentleman
the neighbors will talk, if she doe;
not 60 out, some of the tslkative
neighbors will say, Oh! she CAM
60, no one will 60 with her. Some
people will talk, it makes no diff,
ereuce how young girl may con
duct herself. shall have some
thing important to cay IN my
next. Until then remember
Yours truly,
LOUISE
