The School Girl Of aEpe Period

The Saturday Revieu.
Taking all things into consideration, it
cannot be q matter for surprise that the
ordinary schoolgirl is no miracle Of Wo-
manhood" gracious with tact and ten
derness; that she is ignorant, prejudiced,
idle and useless. Shut out from the society
OF all men her music-master and the
parson of the parish, it isnot strange that,
when mtroducedinto the world, she should
either al once develop into a thorough
paced dirt Or take refuge in mild mono
syllables and silly shyness. She is either
unable to carry on q sensible conversation
with anyone wearing a coat, or shelsnayer
happy without some man dancing attend
ance On her. She imagines he is in love
if he presents her with a bunch of black
berries out of the hedge; and if he is a
married man the romance is the more COM
plete, for it has that spice of wickedness
which she has heard IS necessary to a bril-
liant love affair. But all this is not her
fault; it is the fault of the parents who
have neglected her education. Women
may not have any rights; but certainly
girls who are now sent to neutrality-suspicious.
have many wrongs.

Chicago Times.
The new mistress Of the White House
is the first Ohio lady who has filled that
responsible position. She was born in
Chillicothe. the ancient metropolis, once
the capital of the n orthWestern Territory,
and for several years the capital of the
State of Ohio. The city was peopIed by
the more enterprising OF the Virginia and
Kentucky first families" and has always
maintained a self-satisti-d bearing by rea-
son OF it's '.blood." Certainly not much
can be said for it IN the way of stir Or life,
for it has stood comparatively still for the
past twenty years, while the other villages
in that time nave grown TO be prosperous
cities. But C~hillicothe, with all its Short
comings, is not likely to be abused for one
of it's products-that is Mrs. President
Hayes. She was Lucy Webb, daughter Of
DR.. Webb, aud granddaughter OF DR..
Isaac Cook, one Of the first settlers i'll
Chillicothe. She obtained al uncommon
education for d young lady of her time,
and it is said that Incidentally to this fact
she became the wife of Rutherford B.
Hayes, who became acquainted with her
at college. At any rate, sne became the
wife of a lawyer, who afterwards became
ID soldier, then "a Congressman, then q
Governor, and low q President.
Whatever opinion may be neld as to her
husbands ability. there is no question Of
The superior worth Of our new Preaident'S
wife. Mrs. Hayes is d Woman Of strors
natural powers Of mind, and to this she
has added the gfaces of culture. She IS a
woman 10 whum affectation is d total
stranger. For years she has been AL active
worker In various benevolent and ctarl-
table enterprise, apd III this, rs il every
thing else She itas done, iler course las been
NJ rked by a wise discretion.
Mrs. Hayes viii bring none of the vices
Of fashion into our repuelica9 court. Her
influence t. ere will be decidedly of d con-
servative character. She has thus far
schooled herself to believing that There is
d higher missto" for woman than d study
OF the Paris fashions. She has been coura-
geous enough, T. rinstance, during all these
days OF frlzz7s and puff, sud frowZy head
edness into which n~lntiy-1lne hundreths
Of the women have ruii, u mai tain the
SING IA style which she adopted years ago
for dressing he's jel-blacK hair. 1t is placed
smoothly and neatly well down on the
sides of her face, then passed over the ears,
where a ''tinger puff" Is the only effort at
ornament. THIS will be the styie she will
follow at the Viii e House. But if her
hair is worn plain it does not follow that
she is dull in society. On the contrary,
her intelligent features are the home or
grace and good sense, and in conversation
she has few suljeriors.

sire to take Iglesias and party from the
