Editor Exponent: In a late article, it was asked, among other things, :l Why do women dress so elaborately?" Men's ad miration' undoubtedly, has something to do' with it, aritl it is right that n it 3bould be so.

In dress as well as everything else.. ; But I would ask, Do our modern belles and.wpmn of society do so for the admiration of man s alone? In instances .the creation of envy, jealousy, and other kindred passions in thoir rival sisters has as much and more to do with it In nine cases out of ten" a man Is incapable :':of Judging or ap: preciating", a modern woman's elaborate toilet.

Nau voo,; or the martyrdom of our beloved Prophet and Patriarch. Yes, I saw their mangled bodies, and the grief of that .sorrow stricken people, which was too deep for utterance.
