Real Democracy repudiaies the theory that a

Four young ladies' in Dakota last year put

Instead OF building four shacks with one

a pleasing ana constant Topic q
English writer's II the American etrl
One Of the later commsntators says Of
her: american girls have shown tina {
they can receive, travel and live with
out chaperons, escorts or husbands
and arc fast developing . bright.
clear. intelligent self-reliant, courage
Gus and refreshing variety Of the
human race" And again: ''Even II in
future years the slender Yankee belle
10 hidden behind the ampler beauty Of
the English matron. We may still hear
from her lips the wit and shrewdness,
the acute accent. the intelligent ques-
tion and the rapid repartee that pro-
claim her original nationality" The
''society" pictures in tie papers and
magazines represent the dismay of the
British matron with manageable
daughters as she surveys the AVIATOR
OF the American divinity and rival.
Tho essential differences Of society in
the two countries are at once sug-
gested and the alarm Of the watchful
parent IL justified.
The passages that wc have quoted
apparently describe by contrast. which
10 fact which docs not seem to have
occurred TO the writer. Doubtless at
heart he is loyal to the English
girl. and does not admit even in
debate that her supremacy OF maiden
hood can be disputed. When he says
that American girls have shown
that they can receive. travel and live
without chaperons. escorts or husbands.
he seems to mean that they have
shown this distinctively IS compared
with other girls. When he adds that
they are fast developing . bright.
clear. intell gent. self-rsliant, coura-
geous and refreshing variety Of the
human race. can he mean that it is a
new variety Of girl. and that it is not
perfectly familiar in England? So in
the other passage. when. suppOsing
the American girl transformed into the
British matron. he remarks. with evil
dent admiration. I'VE may still hear
from her lips the Wit and shrewdn ess,
the acute c.nt. the intelligent ques-
tion and the rapid repartee that pro-
claim her original nationality" would
he have US understand that these are
not the characteristics OF the British
matron OF to-day? Or does he inti-
mate only that the coming OF the
Americans will but enlarge the number
Of these delightful ladiesp
The writer certainly seems to de-
scribe by contrast. but he has wisely
left q little cloud in which to envelOp
his retreat in case Of emergency. Ger
tainly We need not press him. What
ever he may think or say 1T the En-
glish girl. he has spoken we'll and
truly Of her American sister. His de-
scription applies to the girl who grows
up amid the average conditions Of
American lie. the girl who is por-
trsyed in her more jeiune condition in
Henry James Daisy Miller. The two
chief qualities OF that young woman.
- represented by the shrewd and
subtle artist. are seli-respect and self
reliance. Tho perplexity Of the phe-
nomepon to the foreign reader lies in
the fact that she does what the Euro
pean girl without self-respect does.-
