Trial of Blushina,

Blushing seems to be a real trial to q
great many young girls. The blushing
face Is an evidence of a refined and
sensitive mind and there would DO
something strange about young girl
who never blushed. A blush Is a sign
hung out by nature to show where
purity and honor dwell. The poet Gay
says charmingly:
The rising bushes which her cheeks DER
spread
Are opening roses In the lily's bed.

never lose her power of blushing, for
that would indicate decrease of men.
