What is VoManhdod k there dLY more important question for young women t. consider than this: It should be the highest ambition of every young woman t6possess a true w8manhGod Earth presents no higher object q attainment To be d woman. in the lrueSt and highest sense Of the word, $ ta be the best thing beneath the skies. T. be a woman is something more than to grew t8 the physical stature If w8m- en: something more than to wear foances. exhibit dry goods. sport jew- elfy. catch the gaze Of lewd-eyed men: something more than t8# be a belle, wife. or mother. Put all these qualifications together and they do but little towards making d true woman. Beauty and style are not the surest passports to woman hood. Some of the noblest specimens of womanhocd that the world has ever seen. have presented the plaineSt and most unprepossessing appear anceS.
 4 waman'S worth IS to be estimated by the real goodness of her heart, the greatness of her soul and the purity and sweetness of her character; d w0- man with kindly disposition and well balanced temper, Is both lovely aud attractive, be her face ever so plain and her figure ever So homely; she makes the best wives and the truest mothers. She has higher purpose in living than the beautiful, yet SuperclliouS woman, who has no higher am bitlon than to Haunt her inery on the street, or to grdtify her inordinate vanity by extracting flat tery and praise from society, whose compliments are as hollow as they are insipcere. Beauty is dangerous gift. It is even so like wealth-lt has ruined it's thousands. Thousands of the most beautiful women are destitute of common Sense and con- mon humanity. No gift from heaven is so general and widely abused by woman as the gift of beauty. In about nine cases in ten it makes her silly, senseleSs, thoughtless, giddy, vain, proud, frivolous, selfish, low and mean. think l have seen more girls spoiled by beauty than by any other one thing She is beautiful and she knows it, V is as much as to say she is spoiled. A beautiful girl is very likely to believe she was made to be looked at, 50 she sits herself up as a show at every window in every door, on every corner of the street, in every company at which opportunity offers for an exhibition of herself, and be. lieying and acting thus, she soon be- comes good for nothing else. and when she becomes to be d middle aged woman she is that weakest. most sickening Of all human things faded beauty. These facts have long since taught sensible men to beware of beautiful women-to sound them carefully before they give them their confidence. Beauty Is shallow, only skln-deep: and yet We say it need not be so. Beauty is lovely and ought to be innocently possessed. It has charms that ought to he used for good purposes. It is delightful gift which ought to be received with grati- tude and worn with grace and meek ness. It should always minister to inward beauty. Every woman of beautiful form and features should
