Truthful, pure-minded, A candid, without rudemess, clinging, yet not without strength, they creep with uncon- sclois step into onefs heart and nestle How charming look the appie blossom maidens! They pass among strangers or acqualntances as loving, angellc crea- tures, but those who come in contact with them, who have perhaps to battle with them, know thet a hard disposition lurks behind the deep, blue eyes, that the IMt- tle white hand, so soft and dimpled, is Sometimes a cruel one The ltly of the valley is a fair, merry girl, with a voice like the silvery ring of bells.

Like whiffs of mountain air or the breath of the salt sea are the women who remind one of the purple clover. Strong and vigorous in body, healthy in mind, with hearty voices, they invigorate and brighten all with whom they come in contact. PRACTICAL DETAILS.
