Giddy Girls.

Girls in their teens are interesting,
though they are apt to be giddy and gar
rulous. Frequently the average girl
doesn't know her own mind more than a
few brief minutes at time. First, she
is terribly struck upon one young man,
and then suddenly upon another She
admires each, like child cherishes its
toy; that is, until the novelty is worn
off. She is constantly wishing some
thing or another was something else, and
then wishes it was still another thing.
When she goes shopping she has the
most dreadful time of it. She is almost
always certain to return whatever she
buys and get something else. When she
does not do this it is because she has not
on her shopping excursion been able to
keep her mind together long enough to
buy anything of sufficient consequence
to return. The fidgety uncertainty
which characterizes her shopping expe-
rience, however, does not embarrass her
when the time for selecting a husband
has arrived, as it is fer. easier for most
girls to pick out q husband than il is to
match ribbon and some of them do not
give as much thought and consideration
to the one as to the other. Some of the
important fact that it is not very easy to
exchange husband when she finds that
she had made a mistake. Perhaps the
girls are not much to blame. A sweet
mustache, well-6lled pocket and
lovely necktie are not to be resisted by
everybody, as they are we'll designed to
capture the giddy girl when she feels
that she is deeply in love with some ado
lescent Adonis. While some girls
change their minds little too late there
are those of quicker disposition. One
of these latter has recently gained much
public attention through bringing a suit
in neighboring commonwealth against
a member of the male persuasion for
breach of promise. She engaged herself
to sweet mustache and perfectly
lovely necktie. but shortly discovered
that she didn't want to marry them.
When she was brought into court to ex-
plain she merely indicated in the chosen
language of the untamed west that the
young man was nice to look Mt, but he
made her tired. He had nothing but his
mustache and necktie, and she was one of
the rare girls who had found out that
fact before she had married herself to
these things. Well, just such giddy
girls as this one proved to be may be
found here and everywhere else, except
where men are at premium. Giddy,
gawky girls would do themselves more
justice if they would get tired sooner.
The majority of these lovely lasses don't
find out how tired they are till after
marriage, and then the husband, whom
they have not concerned themselves
very much to select, cannot be ex-
changed like the three quarters of yard
of ribbon which has cost them weeks of
anxiety and painful thought and care.
A great many girls don't care to be re-
minded of this, for it isn't the pleasant
est thing in the world to cogitate upon
when there are fine castles to be built in
the DIR with handsome man inside of
one of those ethereal tenements which ex
lists only in the mind of the modest
maiden. so full of ecstatic enthusiasm.
She doesn't want advice in the matter of
selecting husband, but when she is 60
ing shopping for stockings q hint won't
come amiss, even if her acquaintance
advise her to get striped once of q DUR
able quality. Girls are really more
enigma,ical that prize packages of pop
corn; but good girl is always better
than q giddy girl!-Providence Tele-
