Faults Of the Girls

ESTEEMED Howard ERIENDS-Here l am
"a your midst again, and feel sure you'll
readily excuse me this time if I'll only
promise to make my visits less frequent
hereafter.
"Wilmina's" question for discussion,
(which has caused the human family the
most misery war or intemperance," is a
deep one, and as am not prepared to ex-
pose my ignorance on either side I'll not
say very much. However, after slight
bordering over the history of man from
the garden Of eden" to the present time,
I've arrived at a decision, viz: that war
has caused the most misery. Now have
rolled the ball from the home base and let
let others do likewise.
'Hamlet's" question, "How many
faults in young woman can We excuse ?"
Shou d not be silently passed by. How
ever, 1 take notice that 1t has been ignored
so lar. | have been waiting silently snd
patiently for "Gano" and "Pompadore,"
to answer the question, but alasl they
seem to be dwelling in silence. hence l
suppose they don't excuse any Of their
faults, or perhaps they are like myself.
excuse all OF them when they are COM
PEELED to under &c tain circumstances.
Tia, ha! l take notice that Kate
Eetchum" has bestowed us Howards)
the honor and the pleasure OF having one
LADY, caller who possesses an enormous
amount of refinement Please accept my
thanks for your compliment. | don't want
to wish you any harm, Miss Ketchum,"
but ] sincerely wish that 1t may continue
TO rain just enough to prevent you from
attending the grand hops las you term

your own remarks Pm inclined
10 believe that such dissipation has be-
come monOtOnous to you and you have
admitted that you are fond OF changes, so
let me invite you to change your route by
coming to the H. L c. parlOr again soon.

cloth when she sees you coming, and to
induce you TO come L viii not allow you
20 soil your hands by washing the dishes
with acloth. I'll get the latest novelty

City Chap" may the mrshes OF happi-
ness that now surround you and your
''frOw" never have an end. If / am too
hastV in offering you congratulations
"Luiaia Cornela" is to blame.
Oh, yes, 'Sunset," of course l think you
are smart. How could 1 do otherwise
after being caught in the trap by your
annex" I am not a fugitive from JUS

we reside near enough 10 become ac-
ouainted, but that depends on whether /
represent two classes of people or not,
don't itP I'm glad to see you come to
page again, for L had begun to feel
guilty OF being the whole cause of your
long negligence, but according to your
last contribution was mistaken, for you
have been trying to improve your physi-
ognomy intellect by gazing at that peculiar
head. / am not a physiognomist, but for
all that I'll venture to say that such a
hea.l as you described is very valuable for
one thing, if nothing more, and that is TO
puzzle other heads.
daisy H." am watching for you to
call again. "Creno May" "Roxie Ray"
and all other new members, extend you
the right hand of fellowship. Come to the
page often.
With kindest regards TO all, I'll make
nv exit. ADVANCE"
