Power of Gibls.—Girls do not always know their power. It is far greater than they think ; and were, they brave and true enough to exert it, they might almost in a generation revolutionise society about them. Exert your power for good upon the young men who are privileged to enjoy your society. Gentle and good, be also brave and true. Try to exhibit the idea of a woman—a pure and good woman —whose life is mighty as well as beautiful, in its maidenly dignity and attractive loveliness. Do not let it seem that dress and frivolity constitute your only thoughts ; but let every elevation of your character and the usefulness of your life lift up the man that walks by your side. Some of you are in intimate association with each other, but in this do nothing to lower, but everything to ennoble and refine, your character.
