GIRL OF THE PERIOD.
DR.. Jewell Considers Her Fully
the Young Mems Equal.

Rev. F. F. Jewell, DID,, delivered a
lecture last night in the parlors of the First
NJ. E. Church. on Powell street. between
Washington and Powell, taking as his SUBJ
ject 1.-The Girl of the Period" There was
quite large attendance, the ladies out
numbering the sterner sex in proportion
of at least twenty to one.
DIR. Jewell said in the course of his re-
marks; The girl of the present American
period is lacking in muscular force when
compared with the girls of other countries.
This is due principally to mothers checking
their daughters in taking the same
amount of exercise that they allow
their sons to indulge in. Consequently
the girls have not good appetites nor diges-
ton, are deficient in brain and muscular
development. The mothers of the present
age demand no home exercises in the way of
household duties from their daughters such
as they themselves had TO perform in their
youth. With the present increased home
comforts and civilization mothers seem to
desire to keep their girls from working as
hard as they had to do when young. Girls
of the period pay too much attention to out
side appearances to the detrment OF their
mental furniture.
''In this they resemble poorly built house
which has been newly painted, and which
when examined by prospective tenant is
conveniences and appliances. Many girls
nowadays have false notions in reference
to the proprieties and liberties of dress, and
are led astray in vain attempt to be in the
fashion. 1t is all right for girls to display
taste in their attire. for women are born
artists and far ahead of men in color effects
and arrangements. But they should not
run to an extreme, for the insane attempt
to be the leaders or else in the front rank
mist inevitably prove detrimental"
The speaker then alluded to the wonder
full strides in mental improvement made by
girls during the present decade and in
stanced the recent numerous cases of girls
who had proved themselves the equals and
in many cases the superiors Of men in
mental culture, instancing specially Miss
Fawcett. who recently took the highest
literary honors in England, defeating the
pick and flower OF the countrv's young men
at the universities.
He next spoke of the numerous labor
saving contrivances which had lately come
into use, all helping to make the work of
women less laborious. In summing up DR..
Jewell pronounced the girl of the period
the equal of the young man of the period in
every respect except, perhaps in physical
strength. To Offset this their moral nature
is much higher than mems, as is fully proven

DECORATION COMMITTEE.
An Obstruction in the Matter of an Arcl
Is Overcome.

An Obstruction in the Matter of an Arch
Is Overcome.
Yesterday afternoon the Decoration Com
mittee held a meeting to dispose of the mat
ter of an arch, which is to be built on Mar
ket street, near Fourth.
1t VIII be remembered that at a meeting
held about week since there were several
designs for the arch submitted and closely
criticized. Among those who submitted
designs was A. f. Pratt Of Pacific ParlOr,
No. 10. His design was favored by a ma
jority Of the committee as looking the best
on paper. They said it seemed to be the
most beautiful of all and would have adopt
ed it but for the fear Of its not being practi-
cable At the close of the meeting it was
the sense of the committee to adopt the
Pratt design if it was found to be practical
bic and as imposing in structure as on pa
per.
At last Fridays meeting, which was held
Immediately before the session of the Joint
Committee to whom 1t had to report, the
Decoration Committee decided to adopt
another design-that of Mr. Swaziland
claimed that Pratt's design had been found
lmpTacticable.
b.. Mr.. Pratt was on hand to explain any OBJ
jections that might be raised to his design,
but he was not allowed that privilege. This,
he claims, was contrary to the committees
promise to him.
When the Decoration Committee made its
report to the Joint Committee, Thomas
Doyle, of the same parlor as Mr.. Pratt, re-
quested that Mr.. Pratt be heard by the
Joint Committee on his design. This re-
quest was denied, but the matter of arches
was referred back to the Decoration Com
mittee, which was instructed to grant Mr..
Pratt hearing.
At yesterdays meeting Chairman Leo
Hampton, DR.. c. w. Decker and w. f.
Grafton Of the committee and A. E. Pratt
and Thomas Doyle were present.
Mr.. Pratt entered into a croSs-questiOn-
ing that would have reflected credit on
lawyer, and frequently referred to the COM
mittee as "his prisoner" whom ne was try
ing, while he said he was judge and jury,
also advocate. He also requested the press
representatives to leave the room while he
starred"
After presenting his case and roll of
names of competent artists and critics who
had favored his arch, the committee stated
that it was their province to decide on and
have constructed an arch, and that they had
TO act according to their Judgment They
had found that the arch was impTacticable
and the expert opinion Of several whom
they had called up only confirmed them in
their opinion. The committee thereupon
decided not to entertain his request to be
heard on the merits OF the arch, and
announced themselves ready to stand by
their recommendation that the Swan arch
be adopted, and such will be their report to
the Joint Committee next Friday night.
Colonel Chamberlain, who was present
during the latter part OF the hearing, con-
graduated the committee on their prompt
disposal of what had threatened to become
matter of regret
