Vas healing from the scars of savage
war, she seem to know, by instinct
perhaps, all that makes the sex
adorable and worthy Of love and
honor. She does not read much,
for she has not been allie to get the
books. She knows nothing of the
renaissance in art, and mayhap has
never heard Of Ru>kin, bat when
she has overcome her shyness, she
can talk inteIligently aud sometimes
with a perception that astonishes,
and listen appreciatiyely. She could
not give you any of the rule of dress
that modern art has laid down, bit
ner costumes are chosen with born
good taste that is never at fault.
The Southern girl shines brightest
at home. She has not forgotten the
old time respect that children should
have for their mothers who gave
them life, and the graceful Affection
in which she holds the gray-hair
ed woman who kept a brave heart
amid the horrors of war, aud in the
sickening days of poverty aud priva-
ton thai followed in its train; and
though she had all this to bear, has
taught her young daughters lessons
Of self respect Of courage in misfor-
time, that can never be etfaced.
