gers are pleasant to the sight. Indeed, whatever your personal disadvantages may be, use the greatest intelligence and get art to remedy them; do not let them slide with the casual idea that they are only youth, and that you will grow out of them. I am staying in a hotel in the South at the present moment, where there is an extraordinarily pretty young girl, whose mother has allowed her to stoop and stand all crooked. Her stockings are wrinkled and, with a snowy neck, her arms are red and blotchy, while she leans upon the table and eats in a horrible manner, with bright-red paws, holding her knife and fork ungracefully; and, last of all, her head is arranged with that awful bundle of sausage curls which I warned you about! The mother looks a charming woman, but evidently has not what the Americans call the natural “horse sense” to see that her poor child is being shamefully handicapped and will be so for years, until the necessity to remove these drawbacks strikes her own intelligence. ALTH AND PRETTY WHITE FINGERS ARE PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT INDEED WHATEVER YOUR PERSONAL DISADVANTAGES MAY BE USE THE GREATEST INTELLIGENCE AND GET ART TO REMEDY THEM DO NOT LET THEM SLIDE WITH A CASUAL IDEA THAT THEY ARE ONLY YOUTH AND THAT YOU WILL GROW OUT OF THEM I AM STAYING IN A HOTEL IN THE SOUTH AT THE PRESENT MOMENT WHERE THERE IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY PRETTY YOUNG GIRL WHOSE MOTHER HAS ALLOWED HER TO STOOP AND STAND ALL CROOKED HER STOCKINGS ARE WRINKLED AND WITH A SNOWY NECK HER ARMS ARE RED AND BLOTCHY WHILE SHE LEANS UPON THE TABLE AND EATS IN A HORRIBLE MANNER WITH BRIGHT RED PAWS HOLDING HER KNIFE AND FORK UNGRACEFULLY AND LAST OF ALL HER HAIR IS ARRANGED WITH THAT AWFUL BUNDLE OF SAUSAGE CURLS WHICH I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE MOTHER LOOKS A CHARMING WOMAN BUT EVIDENTLY HAS NOT WHAT THE AMERICANS CALL THE NATURAL HORSE SENSE TO SEE THAT HER POOR CHILD IS BEING SHAMEFULLY HANDICAPPED AND WILL BE SO FOR YEARS UNTIL THE NECESSITY TO REMOVE THESE DRAWBACKS STRIKES HER OWN INTELLIGENCE
