NICE GIRLS
From an uncredited article. under this caption
in the Philadelphia Bulletin, we condense a few
paragraphs that will find heartier response from
our bachelor friends than many "dashing belle"
would imagine There is nothing half so sweet
in ife, half so beautiful delightful, or loveabe
as "nice girl Not pretty. dashing,
an elegant girl, but nice grl one of those love-
ly, lively, good tempered, good hearted, sweet
faced, amiable, neat, natty, domestic creatures
met within the sphere of home." diffusing
around the domestic hearth the influence of her
goodness. like the essence Of sweet flowers.
A nice young girl is not the languish beatty,
dwaling on sofa, and discussing the last novel
opera; nor the graffe-like creatures sweeping
maiestically through drawing room. The nice
girl may not even dance or play WELL and knows
nothing about - using her eyes, or coquetting
with a fan. She never languishes she's + 90 ac-

busy. At the opera she is not in front, showing
her bare shoulders but sits quiet and unobstruslve
at the back of the box. most likely. In fact it
is not often in such scenes that we discover her.
Home is her place.
Who rises betimes and superintends the morn
ing meals :? Who makes the toast and the tea,
and buttons the boys shirts, and waters the flow
ers and feeds the chickens, and brightens up the
parlor and sitting room? Is it the languisher, or
the giraffe, the elegante? Not bit it; it is
the nice girl.
sbIe time yet how charmingly is it done, and
how elegant her neat dress and plain collar
What hearty kisses she distributes among the
family no presenting of cheek or brow like the
fine girl" but an audible smack which says
plainly. '' love you ever so much" If I ever
coveted anything, it is one of the nice girls kis
ses.
Breakfast over, down into the kitchen to see
about dinner and all day long she is up and
light hearted. She never ceases to be active and
useful until the day is gone, when she will polka
with the boys and sing old songs and play old
tunes to her father for hours together: She is
perfect treasure, is the nice girl When illness
comes it is she that attends with unwearying pa
ence the sick chamber. There is risk, no
atigue that she will not undergo: no sacrifice
hat she will not make. She is all love. all devo-
ion I have often thought it would be happiness

eDded by such fair hands
One of the most marked characteristics of the
nice girl is tidiness and simplicity of dress

high frock, plain collar, and the neatest of neck

say again, there is nothing in the world half
