St. Paul daily globe., 1888-08-05

IN MADISON SQUARE. to change in
the least this gorgeous and magnificent
panorama OF femininity which daily
passes IN every prominent avenue of the
city. NO other city iii the country has
such variety of pretty women. There
are pretty girls who have been trans
planted to the new world metropolis
from sunny Italy; fair-haired damsels.
tall and 1.-THE or short and stout, from
Germany; chattering, black-eyed maid
ems from France, and even the
tall, handsome blondes from far
OFF Russia are found upon
our streets. Then there are the
different types of American girls-girIs
from the Pacific slope, with a Western
wal k and a Western smile; Southern
girls, with soft: dreamy eyes, lovely
forms and small feet: young women
from Boston, who look pretty at dis
tance' and girls from Chicago. But,
among them all. the New York girl is
recognized at once by-well. by reason
of her being a New York girl. She is
pretty and she knows it, and, further
more, she does not care who else
knows it.
But there are many different and dis
tinct styles of New York girls. and it is
only after the connoiSseur has gone
over the entire city, from Harlem to the
battery, that he comes to the conclusion
that caused the club man TO inadvert-
emily speak the truth. He is, by the
way, man of the world. in fact an old
rounder. He had sauntered along be-
tween the brOwnStOne fronts which line
Madison. Lexington and Fifth avenues:
he had seen the Fifth avenue and Muir
ray hill belle emerge from her dwelling
i'll the breezy afternoons and, dis
daining carriage, trip quickly down
the avenue. He had noted that per-
feet fitting walking suit of the very
latest fashion, the Partisan parasol, the
Partisan hat, the ParIsian dress, the
Partisan boots, Partisan everything, but
American girl. He had noticed her erect
carriage and Springy step; had noted
her full, round form as she tripped on
down Broadway. looking neither to the
right nor to the left, until she arrived at
one of the big dry goods emporiumS and
was lost to view i'll the human bee hive
within.
''Deucedly pretty girlp he may have
mentally calculated. Then he had pulled
Havana from the morocco case and
strolled down Sixth avenue. He pushed
down through this. one of the most curl
GUS thOrOughfareS of the city, toward
Twenty-third street. and then on down
to Fourteenth street.
Here he stopped frequently ard gazed
upon another type of girl which inter-
ested him. He noticed with the keen
eye of club man that she looked as if
she was out on business. She walked
slowly, and inspected occasionally the
beautiful displays of millinery in the
big windows of the numerous establish
mentS.
She gaZed earnestly at the array of
good and remarked upon the merits of
different pieces of i0n9
lawn. silk or velvet 4 Wv,
contained therein. He u ST/Ie
saw, too, the Ameri- ElSE2
can dress she wore. N- va
Almost as nice it, astS jGgS
looked to him as the eeSSi INNS SEA
imported apparel of4MfhrlSS$PZ8
the other young lady XIIa NNS<S
on Fifth avenue. He YIT
couldn't see any diff GMfy \
ference in the dress, o e Y
but he could discover sM
a slight difference in ,MN
the girls, almost i'm 49, ,X6V
perceptible, but he SAls#S&H
noticed it, for he is + ~ No %&
club man. He ad- ke "a
mired this girl, though. q
and he crowded AN ,,,ppIc
through the chatter w.
Ing mass OF femlnlnlty i'll one of the
stores and saw her buy scent spool of
thread, and order it delivered at once,
please"
He had become reckless at one time
and Strolled over to the BOwery, and
here he was amused and pleased. Club
men are rarely ever more amused or
at most pleased with anything. He had
seen the Bowery girl arrayed in all
her glory. The gorgeous hat stuck
Jauntily on one side of the head above
a wilderness of bangs made him smile
club house smile. He was also amused
at the dress, which, although it fitted
the plump, round figure like the skin, it
stuck out behind in a manner sug-
gestive of smuggling. She walked with
free and easy air, always with COM
pani0n, and stopped occasionally to
speak with male friends on the corners
as she passed.
He didn't take car at Grand street,
but strolled down that busy thorough
fare among the big dry goods estab-
liShments, whence East side fashion
draws its supplies.
Pale and tired they looked, and many
OF them exhausted, bnt the breeze
which swept by blew back their curls
and bangs, and brought back the color
to many cheeks. Then the club man
saw beauty Oh every hand. He also saw
that even clothed in the necessarily in
dIfferent clothing of working girl,
New York girls are pretty.
