the idea that pretty feathers make pretty
birds, and so they do. God made man for
strength and his make so shows it, and
women for beauty, and her form so de-
clares it. The word IMAM" in its real
meaning means thinker and woman, y

the rib and the woman.
The young lady on the streets In her best

lady at home about her home duties. Men
and women court and are oourt0d in their
best clothes. The young man lays aside his
cigar and chew of tobacco until he gets into
the street. So the young lady puts on her
best looks and mosu inviting ways in the

common sense in the most delightful and
delicate courtesies of life, making ourselves
agreeable to each other. A woman 10 made

makes herself pleasing. Not TO do so, she
would prove false 10 her very nature.
Love is woman's whole existence; of man

wins her love and can hold it.
Where love is put up for sale TO the man
who has the most money, then may such a

motives play a part, there can be no real
domestic happiness but where desire to
