A Word to Girls.

The woman who is indifferent to her looks is no true woman. God meant woman to be attractive, to look Well, to please, and it is one of her duties to carry out this intention of her Makpr, But that dress is to do it all, and to suffice, is more than we can be brought to believe. Just because we . love to see girls look well, as well as to live to some purpose, we would urge them to such a course of reading and study as wilf' confer such charms as no modiste can supply. A well-known*author once wrote a

very pretty essay on the power of education to beautify. That it absolutely chiseled the features; that he had seen many a clumsy nose aud thick pair of lips so modified by thought awakened ' Mad active sentiment as to be unrecognizable. And he put it on that ground that we often st e people, homely and unattractive in youth, bloom in middle life into a softened Indian summer ol good looks and mellow tones. — Imivrence Sentinel.
