1t has become an almost universal
theory that the society girls a frivolous
and selfish creation of conditions which
have placed her remote from the touch
of poverty or the sorrows it brings-that7
there is in her heart no fellow feeling:
for her sister whose life is daily
drudgery of toll, and whose heart is
scared with cares and emotions which
she, from the altitude of her palace
home, has only heard or read Of. There
is mistake somewhere. Either the
society girl in st. Paul is marvelously
different from the stereotyped character
so often represented, or the whole null
titude of maidens who bear fortunes
brand have been judged hastily and
wrongly. A GLOBE representative
called at the headquarters of the Young
Girls Friendly society on East Seventh

seventeen to twenty years. Each wore
upon her breast a,tiny silver cross, and
in this only the dainty mattresses
differed from those whose wants

couple as could be found in week.
