A Triumph Of Civilization.

There is large farmer near me. a
clever and successful man in his way
who married (as men sometimes do) a
foolish wife. His daughters are placed
at an expensive school in Brighton, and
are carefully debarred by their mother
from all acquaintance, not only with
teamwork and homework, but with such h
elementary feminine knowledge as the
simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They
may not make or mend their own clothes,
they may not use the needle.
81 am happy to say" their proud
mother said lately to lady; Il al,
happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters
cannot even sew" Bat they can play
the piano-after fashion-they have u
smattering of French, they could and
would (if they were asked) go to garden
parties in evening dress. So greatly has
civilization triumphed in their case. -
