Are you moro anxious to marry a "good figure," a "stylish "styl-ish form," mado up of corset, springs and dross, high hoels and back-hair mattress with a coal-scuttlo or bee-hive bonnot, than a real womanly woman, full of thejoyousness of health, whoso walk is sprightly and stop buoyant, whoso smile is natural and constant, whose "moods" are always cheerful and oue bcttqr than another, and who dresses neatly and sensibly, attractively at-tractively and wisely, noither dowdily nor in total defianeo of the fashion, butinconspiciously and well. Do you prefer a I fashionable talker a llashily 'ducatcd miss who can tell you iM the newest French novel.?, md sing wretchedly in four different dif-ferent languages (mangled and torn), and play bridge whist, or whist bridge, or some other gambling game, and come homo with worthless prizes won at progressive euchre; one who mingles with the best "sassiety" and has nothing to do with vulgar vul-gar poor folks, or a woman who loves her husband abovo everything every-thing else on earth, and who wants to make a perfect home of her own, cheorful and happy, hap-py, lively and busy with healthy, strong, lusty babies. coming one after another as fast as wisdom and love desire them and can properly caro for them. My boy, the eye of a fool is caught with powder, frills, fluff, ruff and froth. Tho eye of a wise man is caught by reality, by health, by naturalness, by love, by maternal and wifely instinct, by goodness.

ATTEND REGULARLY TO NATURE'S CALLS. Never mind what people say or think of the "niconess" of things, Nature in her calls upon tho body is imperative, and no one can long neglect her without with-out serious and irreparable in jury.

PUI1LIO COMFORT STATIONS. One of tho great reflections upon our common sense as a nation is our "sentitiveness" to the providing of moro pub lic comfort stations. Tho calls of nature are imperative, yet we make a pretense of ignoring them, and thus peril and jeopardize jeop-ardize the health of our people. Not a day passes that thousands thous-ands of m e n a n d V o m e n suffer in our cities owing to the inadequate provision for their comfort. Strangers coming in to a city do not know whore to go. Men can go into saloons, oven though thoy are thereby encouraged in tho drink habit. A man scarcely likes to use the privileges of a private establishment estab-lishment without some recompense, recom-pense, and he is thus induced to take a drink when he does not want it, and he knows it will cause him injury. But there are few places whore a woman can go. Of courso Hie larger department stores, hotels and restaurants provide for her comfort, and in this they are far ahead of the cities in which they are located. I Jut many of these places are accessible only to patrons and the fairly well-dressed. well-dressed. What then of others? The only reasonable and proper solution is the one carried out in Europe the public comfort station. Sensible men and women wo-men should agitato and agitate and keep on agitating for this reasonable establishment until it is provided in every decent and self-respecting city, town and village in tho United States. |
