Manners And Matrimony

Out of a class of girls who have stodied together at college, affirms a writer in the London News, thoso who have married are not the rnost intellectual, nor the prettiest, but girls with a certain pleasant rnauner, brightness of small talk and average good looks. Thackeray and Dickens chose for their heroines the sort of womeu men admire and marry. Amelia Sedley, Laura Pendennis and Dora Copperfield are all nnambitious women with some prettiness, mind not above the average and domestic tastes, devoted to their lovers before marriage and to the children after.
