THE AMERICAN GIRL
SHBCAN GO WHERE AND DO ANYTHING
WITH PERFECT INDIFFERENCE.
An Apt Illustration Of the Confidence Of Girl in Her
Ability to Take Care Of Herself-A Pretty
Stenographsr in a Bachelors
Apartments.

What is or is not proper is becoming a
tremendous question among American wO-
men. The lines of social etiquette in
America are far more distinct than those of
any other country, and hence the perpetual
and never-ending discussion Of what lady
may or may not do, and still be considered
above reprOach. 1t is pity that the old
time habits of American women are be-
coming hampered and prejudiced by social
customs. The day when an American wo-
man did exactly what she chose has gone
by. Nobody thought the worse of her for
her freedom and courage. On the contrary,
a charm was added to her long list of at
fractions by this very trait of her character.
That the day has gone by when she can do
what she pleases was well illustrated last
week by party of Vassar girls who came
to the city and went to matinee. The
only thing that the newspapers disagree
upon concerned the number of the young
women who visited the theatre. A great
conflict is raging between the college au-
thorities and the theatrical managers. The
number of girls who attended the matinee
is placed at various figures from two to
eighty-two. What surprises me most is
that anybody should care rap one way or
the other. Suppose lot of college girls
did come to New York and attend first
class theatre. The light opera which was
presented was of thoroughly inofensive
nature, the music pretty and dashing and
there was absolutely nothing to which any
sensible man could object to in the whole
performance. Since when has it become a
cline for girls to attend matinee?

This perpetual harping on what Is sup
posed 10 be indicate in the attire OF wo-
men ia a particularly unpleasant phase Of
criticism TO my mind. do not know
whether I am particularly obtuse or thor
ouphly hardened in such matters, but l
must admit that have not been able to
see the evil which men and women so con-
stantlv complain of in the attire OF Ameri-
can urls I have been on all the beaches
from Maine to Cape May and seen great
MANY thousand women in bathing cos
tunes. 1 have read glowing accounts from
various correspondents of the awful sug-
cestiveness and indecency Of the costumes
of the young girls at Long Branch, Nara
qsnsett and Atlantic City, and have seen
some of the bathing suits that were so Wv
idly described. I believe it all to be lot
of arrsnt humbug. 1 cannot see the IN
decency of the thing either. American
Girls. as 3 rule, are 1.-the. supple and grace
ful TO the last degree. Their actions IN the
water and on the beach are those of happy
and unconscious girlhood. 1t seems to me
it is a willful effort of perverted imagl-
nation 10 cry out forever against the lnde,
eencv of their attire. II is this sort OF
criticism which will eventually rob cur
girls of their greatest charm, and that Is
their inconsistencies of wrong.

It reminds me Of the war Of words which
ensued sfJer the hsnsoms were introduced
In New York. For at least year very
large and constantly growing class OF pso'

to the files of the newspapers about two
wears ago he would find the most hot
headed and violent criticisms against the
use of these hansoms. Another phase of
the matter may be seen in the time at
present about the Inaugural Ball and the

from sleeping upon a mattress made from

How and when 10 Driuk water.

According to DR., Leui, when water Is
taken into the full or partly full stomach,
II does not mingle with the food, as we
are taught, but passes along quickly be-
tween the food and the lesser curative
toward the pylorus, through which 1t
passes into the intestiueS, The secre-
lion Of mucus by the lining membrane
Is constant, and during the night a con-
siderable amount accumulates In the
stomach some oiits liquid portion Is abb
sorbed, and that which remains Is thick
and tenacious. II food Is taken into
the stomach when in this condition y
becomes coated with this mucus, and
the secretion OF tho gastric Juice and Its
action are delayed. These facts show
the value OF u goblet Of water before
breakfast, This washes out the tenacious
mucus and stimulates the gastric glands
TO secretion. In old and feeble persons
water should not be taken cold, but 1t

or hot, This removal Of the aCclnnla'
