American Girl.
Especial CorrespondenceI
NEw YORK, Dec. l3-The american girl
of a generation ago was, as rule, poorly
educated, indulent and delicate NOtwith-
standing her ignorance she would not be con
tent to do household work nor would she i'm
prove her delicate health by resorting TO those
outdoor sports which have since become so
popular. The girls of twenty-five years ago
were not ambitious. Few thought Of making
a career. but those who did, found the stage TO
be about the only profession open to them,
and devotion to that almost carried disgrace
along with it, Indeed the young woman who
thought to earn her own living might count
upon the contempt Of the world instead Of
plaudits for her pluck and Independence.
Now it is better. The American girl has
pushed her way into the ranks Of earners and
all that is now asked Of the fair tOilers Of the
land is that they shall be skilled" in what
ever trade or profession they may elect to
follow Hence it comes that the collegiate
institutions of Europe are crowded with our
countrywomen, studying to become singers,
painters, dramatic artists, physicians and
teachers.
