be found who would make him a
good wife, Mr.. Love is evident.

and makes his offer in good faith.
He concludes his letter as fol-
lows:

TIE Navi Cause, which is pub

hundred and fifty-eight repre-
sentative women Of the United
States for a New Years edition.
That edition is now out in an
issue of 10000 copies and con-
tains the opinions Of 1000 men
and women of this country; law
yers, doctors, preachers, teach
ers. railroad magnates, bankers,
&C., in a grand symposium on
physical education. Only one
person wrote from West vir-
gina. Prof. Douthat. of the Uni.
yersity. Here is what he says !:
..Icould select from these West
Virginia hills 10. 0c0 women, who
in all the physical characteristics
OF beauty and grace and strength
and elasticity, have never been
surpassed IN the history OF our
world, 10000, who, if Offered
and drilled and uniformed, would
constitute the grapdest pageant
ever exhibited before the eyes of
man-lO,00O worthy the genius
and chisel of Phidias or the
skill and brush of an Apelles.
and fitted by living form to rep
resent Harris Perfect Woman"
But alas! why are not all our
women perfect ? Simply because
labor is not necessary, physical
education has been neglected, and
the powers and possibilities of
the lives of our girls have never
been seriously considered. We
want music and language and
