THE SENSIBLE GIRL.
DEAR @. @. FRIENDS: Miss Martin gives an excel.
lent description of the sensible girl and would add
a Few more suggestions.
The sensible girl does not spend hours before her
mirror trying TO improve her complexion with
paints and powders but rather spends that time Ia
walking or other OUT f-door exercise.
The sensible girl adapts herself as far as possible
10 her surroundings and makes the most OF her
opportunities, instead OF lamentng her fato and
enFyinG those TO whom fortune seems more gen.
erous.
The sensible girl spends part Of her leisure Ia tie
cultivation OF her mental powers believing that
edlcatiOn ends only with life.
The sensible girl does not think beautiful features
an excuse Tor ignorance upon every subject neces-
sary 10 the care OF a home. Beautiful features may
win admiration, hut not every desirable young man
cares 10 marry doll.
The sensible girls main ambition Is not marriage.
She does not fear the epthet "old maid " one half
as much as the miserable existence as the wife OF
a mao whom she cannot respect. Pro PatTiG-Rla-
bel &. Giddings, Thornton's Ferry, n. II.
