According 70 Good Authorities She II
Not what she Was.
This charming product of the western
world has come into great prominence
OF late years in literature and in for
eign life. and has attained a notoriety
fiattering or otherwise to the national
pride. No institution is better known
or more marked on the continent and
in England, not excepting the tramway
and the Pullman cars Her enterprise,
her daring. her freedom from conven-
tionality. have been the theme Of the
novelists and the horror Of the dow
ayers having manageable daughters.
Considered as stock" the American
girl has been quoted high and the AIN
ances that she has formed with families
impecunious but noble have given her
eclat as belonging r. . new and con-
quering race in the world But the
American girl has not simply slender
figure and : hne eye and > ready
tongue. abe 4 not simply a engaging
and companionsble person, ahe has ex-
ccllcnt common sense, tact and adapto-
bflity. She has q length seen IN her
varied European experience that e 4
mope profitable 20 have social good
form according 20 local standards than
q reput alton for dash and brilliancy.
Consequently the American girl Of .
decade ago has effaced herself. She Is
no longer the dazzling courageous fig
urc. In England, in France. in Ger
many, in Italy, she takes, as one may
say. the color Of the land. She has re-
tired behind her mother. She who for.
merly marched in the van Of the family
procession, leading them-including
the painting mother-a whimsical
dance, is now the timid and retiring
girl, needing the protection Of . chap
erone on every occasion. The satirist
will find no more abroad the American
girl Of the old type whom he continues
to describe. The knowing and fasci-
mating creature has changed her tactics
altogether. And the change has re-
acted on American society. Tho
mother has come once more to the
front, and even IL she is obliged 10 own
to forty five years to the census taker.
she has again the position and the
privileges Of the blooming woman OF
thirty. Her daughters walk meekly
and with downcast az still expectant)
eyes, and wait for sign. Charles
