Yorkshire or Rome, Peoria or Paris, there
are such things as a cultivated and agree

pretty accent. No one is so dependent
upon this charm as a woman. 1t has made

become fright if she could open that glor-
ious mouth Of hers, and if from it should
issue an uncultivated voice, saying hort

ing her classic features for the moment, she
should give an unusual cackle and launch
into slang. 1t will not help the American

| As was said in the beginning of this
article, hundreds of girls will enter for the
first time that test of manners and charac-
tiers, the social world, this summer. If you
carry to it vulgarity, false standards, affec-
tions, it will soon discover them, and you
will be put on your levels. The girl full of
health and vitality will find legitimate ex-
ercise in tennis, archery, and the many
forms of out door life on which society has
set the mark of approval 1t is not neces-
sary, in order to find exercise, to choose any
form that will arouse disagreeable COM
ment, or offend against good taste Many
of us remember the young girl who, few
summers ago, against the wishes of her
chaperon, went canoeing with gentleman
in the evening and neither of them ever re-
turned. The canoe was overturned in
some way and both of them were drowned.
1t was against the sentiment of the place
in which the girl was staying to go canoe

her life and that of her escort. A wise
man who knows the ways of the world has

whose livery matched the spokes of the
wheels, through thoroughfare in large
city to the terminus of bridge at an hour
when it was crowded, and there waited in
the most public manner for friend. The
act was so conspicuous that simple
hearted gentleman commenting on il said
doubtless she is lady, but it does not be
come a lady to do anything so conspicu,

The young lady who did this has every
social advantage, but she is either weak OF
vulgar.
1t is this regarded for public sentiment
this independence of manners and stand
ards, that justifies criticism. The wise CIR
lives free life that does not violate the
laws or standards that have been found
best suited for the social intercourse of mer
and women. Girls of an innate refine
ment, or who study to become refined, are
careful to avoid that which classes then
with that which is vulgar, loud or the ignor
ant world whose standards are the result
of their own or their parents ignorance
