TO COMPEL RESPECT.
Some sensible observer of human ma
ture who has good eye for measurements
has drafted some articles setting forth the
characteristics of the young woman who
unconsciously compels the respect and ad-
miratlon worth having. For instance:
She is fond of jolly good time. She
can joke and laugh and be gay, but she
never oversteps propriety.
She has ideas OF right and wrong, and
is anxious to live according to these ideas.
This does not make her prudish, even
though she does not drink champagne or
smoke cigarettes.
In fact, she is careful of her behavior,
and does not think it necessary to be fast
in order to be popular.
She is independent, and the young men
who meet her at once respect her.
She will not dance with any young man
who may ask her to- and the "boys" do
not like her because she will never come
down to their level.
She can talk intelligently upon almost
any subject which may be brought for
ward, and her conversation shows that she
has done some good, honest, original
thinking. She has ideas about the books
she reads, and these books have ideas, too
She has thought about the various social
problems which are prominent in the at
tention of the world, and is able to put
these thoughts into words.
She does not talk of such things all the
time, by any means. Her nonsense, how
ever, stops this side of Stiffness.
She is eminently a sensible girl.
She does not want to vote; she does not
want to doctor or make laws; she does not
care to startle the world with her knowl-
edge. She prefers to be young woman,
and to live up to the nobility of true
womanhood.
Indeed, she is ambitious to make her
home attractive; to love and be loved by
her family She believes that to satisfy
that ambition will give her quite as much
work as she can do well.
She is an earnest, kind-hearted woman,
doing great deal of good in the world,
without any ostentatious display or loud
talk. She rather seems to hide her good
works.
When doing good she does not put on a
long face, but with smiles and cheering
words seeks to turn the thoughts of the
troubled into pleasant channels.
Her influence is very great, although
sometimes unconscious.
She gains very warm personal friends,
who would do anything for her. She is
woman who represents the highest type of
human being, and is sure to be appreci-
ated and to succeed in life.
Ewes GREAT-GREAT-
GRAND-DAUGHTER.
