thofe of onr Women, who are to move i n the
very firft circle of the Court, it probably will
ihe of no other ufe than to enable them to read
Irrentb Noyeb, that had much better have re-

Weight with foreign Gentlemen, I tthink it
might have as little with 61*- Ladies of the firft

We grant that he can afford her extravagance,
and Inattention, yet mufic, upon mufic, will
not always do. 1 am as fond tff mufic as any
man i'hould be, and have a very good car,
but harmony though very agreeable now an 1
then, to the ear, will not make up for the
want of an harmonized, and poliftied mind, a
a man of fenfe requires in a Wife, fomething
more fubliantial than the triffng qualifications
i hat are attained at a Boarding-School. To
be educated for him, more attention fhould be
paid to her underilanding, than her fingers—to
her mind, than her Body. Her Body fhould
not be negledtetl, that care fhould be taken
that fhe fhould oMerveTthat the chi f attention
of her friends, was paid to her principles, and
