words. odd You ever happen TO read

To the Ladies,

When anyone wishes to have a cor
rect idea of anything involving good
taste they will invariably refer to the
ladies to pass judgment. A lady when
asked for an opinion does not
blunder over what men choose
to call a r of reasoning, but will,
bv a nearer route and quick intuition
of soul, see at once what is right and
what is wrong. We all strive to get
the good opinion of the ladies. Often
we overdo the thing and imagine we
are making a great impression, but
DON'T think for a moment she can't see
through the mask Of deceit. She will
size you up and estimate you at your
true value. Now, what we want is
