s ME HINTS FOR GIRLS.

Dear AWnt JennIe:-It is useless to
say that the Social Chat" lie very in
teresting. The articles are on different
subjects, and the ideas they convey are
very good and instructive. AS this is
my first attempt at writing for the
press I will not confine myself to any
definite subject. I am a wife and
mother, and am busy all day long
doing the various things that a house
wife must do, and consequently do
not have time or take time to write
much, but l do try to take time to
write letters to my nearest friends.
There is one thing I would like to men
ton, and that is advice to young girls.
I think every yOung girl ought to learn
how to do every thing that is possible
for her to learn about house keeping.
Let her learn also how to support her
self so she will not be dependent upon
any one else. / do not think there ig
any thing more commendsble in a girl
than an earnest desire 60 be self sup
porting. There are so many things q
