— = When are Women Most Lovély ?

An American exchange says:-—We have received from a young lady a question which is so interesting and in- vites our consideration of a theme s0 delicate and delightful, that we are forced to answer it at length. This is what she writes :-—

“Sir :—Will you be kind enough to tell me,'are young ladies considered more lovely, and thought preferable, at the ages of from eighteen to twenty-two, or from twenty-two to twenty-five orsix! You will understand me? I mean do men most admire them.

oR

Before proceding to our answer, let us thank our lovely friend for refrain- ing from any attempt to bias our judg- ment by giving even a hint of her own age. She probably thought that if she did so, natural gallantry might lead us away from a cool, judicial view of the subject and tempt us to give the pre- ference to the type of maidenly beauty which appear in young women of her confessed years.» And we do not deny that such might have been the case. As it is, we are left entirely in the dark as to the class to which she herself be- longs—whether she is between 15 or 22 or between 22 and 25; and so we are able to answer her question on its in- trinsic merits.

Loveliness in a woman, though it may vary in its character and manifes- tations at different periods of life, is not the property of youthonly. There is a fresh and indeniable charm in the fresh beauty of 18, to which inexperi- ence and early romance lend perhaps additional fascination. A pretty girl of that age, who has been untouched by care, and who knows of the world by imagination only, is a very delightful object ; and many men may wish they might take captive her first affections.

Between 18 and 22, the changes of a girl, so far as the charms of her person go, are vot likely to be great; but in that time, by longer intercourse with society, and by natural development, she may grow more companionable for men of maturity, and her carriage and self-control become better and greater. Those are important years in a young womans life, the years during which, in our climate, the majority of the sex are married. And yet from 22 to 25 or 26, a maiden may and generally does still further advance in attract- iveness and add to the store of her charms. She is still young, but she has outlived many youthful fancies, and feels some of the dignity of woman- hood. No better ages than those in a maiden’s life and never is she lovelier.

But why stop at 26? What fairer women are to be found than many of those between 26 and 30, and even older? Girls of 18 may look on them as unsought old maids, and yet they are in their womanly prime, and may capture hearts which have been steeled

ainst girlish fascinations. Oftetimes they make the best of wives, and men find a solacé and companionship in their society which immaturity cannot give. They have the advantage of eX |

erience, and they have learened the essons taught by longer contact with the world, while still they may not be averse to falling in love.

Now, we assure our friends, it is not that a woman is 18, or 26, or 30, which makes her levely in the eyes of men. She may be just as lovely at one age as the other; but inasmuch as most mar- riages of woman occur between the ages she mentions, it is safe to assume that the majority of men prefer to take who are not older. But all men of taste and discernment admire feminine beauty and loveliness whether they show themselves in budding youth or riper maturity; and we will dare assert that if our correspondent was really charm- ing at 18,she ought to be lovelier at the greater age

Bat let her give no further thought to the subject. The beauty that is the most unconscious is the most alluring and loveliness which excercises its sway without apparent effort is sure to make the best conquest. This we say in full confidence that the multi- tude of weddings which are to take place in the period after Easter will confirm the truth of our words, Let us hope that before another re- turn of this delightful season our fair correspondent will be selecting her bridal outfit, having found by happy

personal experience that we have wisely answered her important ques- tion. sieidamanitiaareaan: Mb

CATARRE. Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear wat a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

WM. McKECHNIE, Supt. P. Bo IR.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- - this, my duty, to you, as at first the effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”’§ I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying Kk I would feel like smothering and be com to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
