What the Girls Read.

It may not do women any harm to
read all sorts Of literature. There are
people who claim that, and really the
world seems to be running to that idea,
for little curb seems to be put upon the
appetites of young people for unwhofe-
literature. Books tina. should have the
appreciation only to those who. having
lived all they intend to. are simply
waiting about in the world. which they
thoroughly know, are devoured by girls
whose emotional natures are strung for
all passions to play upon.
A natural appetite for what Is not good
for one is one Of the cursos put upon
natures often capable Of the greatest
good. Perhaps 1t is the penance OF great
possibilities to have voluntary choice.
No one would give a young person
that which was injurious to the body's
welfare knowingly, unless he were a
knave; but the giving their minds nox-
ious sustenance is legitimate and
honorable trade. The tree that is
grown may Withstand the strongest
gale; the sapling will bend to every
wind. Human nature is the same. The
mature mind may upon itself with
safety to truths OF living and analyze
them, not feel them; the inexperienced
mind will be warped in judgment by a
too early experience Of emotional lit
erature.
I was speaking the other day to a
| well-known writer of girls stories.
She has written some most charming
| tales of girl life with its trials and
trumpls. stories which are so sincere In
their style. and concerned with girls SO
true and honest. that men seem to en-
ioy the stories almost as well as the
girls do. I asked her finally why she
did Mt write long story for older girls
girls 16 years old. She shook her
head and assured me that there was
positively no market for such literature.

story of that sort without love inter

love interest would be thrown away.

Another thing which gave Mr.. Man
ming an advantage over most men was
his wonderful memory. One winter at
Nassau banker from Chelsea, Mass,
came into the room. saying he had just
found an old book containing q piece
he used to recits at school. Mr.. Man
ming asked to hear it and then to hear
it second time. After the second re-
cital Mr.. Manning said: you do not
repeat it the same" Some little dis
cussion ensuing, Mr.. Manning contin-
ued: Il give you my word as o man
I've never heard the thing before. yet
if Mr.. Uline will read it twice aloud.
I'll wager You I can repeat it better
than you can.
The piece was read, and then Mr..
Manning repeated it with absolute cor
rectness. syllable for syllable.
When the banker expressed some
doubt about Mr.. Manning's not having
heard it before. the latter offered tore
peat any piece of the same length
which the banker might choose. after
1t had been read three times. And
what is more he accomplished the feat.
This mental trait enabled MIR. Manning
to recall. almost verbatim, at any time
reports. motions. resolutions and any
thing else he had read months before.
