THE AMERICAN GIRL.
According to Good Authorities She II
Not What She Was.

According to Good Authorities She Il
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 notoriety
hattering 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 marriageable daughters.
Considered as 'stocll," the American
girl has been quoted high, and the alli-
ances that she has formed with families
impecunious but noble have given her
eclat as belonging to new and con-
quering race in the world. But the
American girl has not simply a slender
figure and fine eye and a ready
tongue, she is not simply an engaging
and companionable person, she has cx-
cellent common sense, tact and adapta-
bility/ She has at length seen in her
varied European experience that it is
more profitable to have social good
form according to local standards than
reputation for dash and brilliaucy.
Consequently the American girl of a
decade ago has effaced herself. She is
no longer the dazzling courageous fig
ure. 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 if she is obliged to own
to forty-fve years to the census taller,
she has again the position and the
privileges of the blooming woman OF
thirty. Her daughters walk meelSly
and with downcast Gf still eXpectantl
eyes, and wait for a sign

A Few Novel Instances of Laughablo
Post-Mortem Devotion.
The tombstone literature of the
world is sometimes amusing reading.
In little country churchyard not far
from New York is a tombstone erected
over a girl who died at the age of nine
teen. 1t bears the inscription: "Edu-
Gated to be wife" Fancy the curric-
ulum of the educational institution
she attended, In Baltimore cemetery
is lot with three graves. The stone
at the right has an inscription testify
ing to the fact that woman lies be-
meath and hand sculptured below the
inscription points to the center grave
with the significant sentence: "He
was nine" The grave at the left like
wise has an inscription testifying to
the fact that woman lies there, and
here again is a carved hand pointing to
the center grave with the legend: HE
was mine also" In the middle grave
is buried the husband of these two
women, and on his tombstone are
carved two hands joined at the wrist,
one pointing to the right and the other
to the left. Then there is the inscrip-
ton: "They were both mine.'
Every one who has visited Hollywood
cemetery in Richmond, Va, will re-
member the burial lot of certain gen.
tleman who laid away decorously and
tearfully in this grassy plot three
wives. The tombstones erected over this
trio of unhappy women are exactly
alike, and on each one is sculptured-. a
beautiful hand pointing upward, del.
icate method of signifying that the
souls of these women are now soaring
in realms of heavenly bliss.
! 1t is related that the husband o.
these wives, upon recovering from his
third bereavement, paid court to Miss
Matte Ould, who was the belle o.
Richmond, and who, although dead
many years, is still quoted by Virgin
ians as the wittiest, most fascinating
and delightful of all the charming
women who have claimed the Old Do
minion as their birthplace. Upon onc
occasion Miss Ould accompanied thi
gentleman to the cemetery, and, stand
ing beside these monuments, she said
positively: "If 1 ever should marry you

"It wouldn't be much trouble to slip
an old almanac in the place of the new
one; there is pile of them in the gar
ret, and ten to one grandpa would never
know the difference" said Jamie.
The plan was so brilliant a one that
the seining for minnows seemed very
tame, and the boys dropped their nets
and ran back to the house, consulting
as they ran.
A hurried search for an almanac to
suit their purpose, and as quickly down
stairs again, for it was nearly time for
the men to be in to dinner. There was
no one in the large, airy kitchen, and

almanac to the nail by the door, where

his finger down the page, 'the Fourth

Will and Jamie bent low over their
plates, while grandma brought forth
proof after proof to show that the
Fourth was on Thursday last year, and
consequently must be on Friday now,
as it was not leap year. Grandpa lis
tened with good-natured smile.
"Well, mother, 1 have followed the
almanac for fifty years, and guess
will abide by it now"

SCOTTY'S STATISTICS.

He Keeps Tab on the Peculiarities of Peo-
pie Who Cross the Bridge.
Scotty, the bridge policeman, has
notebook full of interesting statistics
from which he yesterday permitted me
to select the following:
Seventy men out of every hundred
who cross the bridge on foot carry one
shoulder lower than the other.
Eleven men in every hundred have
red hair and whiskers.
About seventy out of every hundred
have Roman noses, and at least one
half of these are more or less tinged
with the luxurious color of the Long
Island strawberry.
About siXty-tive in every hundred
men walk because they feel like it, and
yet they are mad because they weren't
fools enough to ride.
Only thirteen men in hundred carry
canes, and only four out of the thirteen
carry them gracefully. The others
handle them as if they were clothes-line
props borrowed from a neighbor's back
yard
About ninety men out OF every hun
nred look to the left or down the bay in
crossing from Brooklyn.
Eighty-tive men out of every hundred
either toe in or toe out, and could
neither learn to waltz gracefully, nor
yet achieve success as sprinters.
At least seventy per cent. of the male
pedestrians 'interfere," or rub one
ankle against the other. In the case of
horse this would be considered an
evil, and steps would at once be taken
to effect cure.
Everything being normal, only about
six per cent. of the men exhibit any
signs of haste. If a good-loolling type
writer in a new spring hat happens to
be crossing, and is in hurry, eighty
four per cent. of the men keep as close
to her heels as possible.
About thilty-four per cent. stub their
toes or meet with slip at the pier
steps, and among the more genteel and
modern expressions indulged in on such
occasions are:
Hang it!'
"JeruSha!"
"By thunder!''
"Jimimy!"
"Great Scott"
General Jackson!"
"By George"
Scotty picks up an average of five
handkerchiefs each morning, which are
dropped by men in pursuit of the good
looking typewriter above mentioned
lie calls to them, and waves the lost
silk and linen in the air, but they never
even look back, and the goods are sent

What is .'style?"

The difference in appearance between
one woman and another, said DR.. Louise
Fiske Bryson recently is more than
anything else an affair of style; that
beauty of beauties so hard to define and
easy to recognize, which makes the girl
of no-colored hair, features of indiffer-
ent turn, and lines none too perfect, in
finitely more attractive than other maids
of faultless curves and innumerable
strong points not cemented by this
magic quality. Style may be defined,
for want of something better to express
it, as an attractive manner of holding
the body, firm, graceful way of doing
things and Of moving about. 1t is the

was something they had not expected.
Beth had seen what they had wanted

TIC History of Tights.

Tights are only the extreme by ancient
Gallic "braies," or closely fitting panta-
looms, which in the middle ages became
the "haut-de-chausses" worn by both
sexes, which, according to Il curious let
ter addressed by lleloise to Abelard,
were donned by the nuns of the con-
vent of the Paraclete. The "haut-de-
chausses" for ladies were discarded
when stockings came in, and they were
not heard of in France from the period
of the reformation to that of the revolu-
ton. Under the directorate there was
a craze for everything classic, and la
dies costumes were initiated from de-
signs on Etruscan vases; but some of
the sham antique dresses were so peril
ously transparent in texture that

her attire was Il single robe of gaule
