HEALTH OF TIE AMERICAN GIRL.


Woman Doctor Holds Her Own--How
Two women Ecpt their Umbrellas.
The health Of .he American girl Is A
perennial subicrc that hourshes like a
green bay tree. Everybody can write about
it and cverybody does, the result being "a
mass of pccl:sniIian literature. What
savagrs do and what early peoples did are
constantly quoted. Aud the dark hint
goes round that the times are ont of joint
because similar conditions do not now pre-
vail.
The reign of ignorance and superstition
is dcplOred ny those who ouGnt to know
better. Because he American girl learns
the modern alphabet, her doom is supposed
to be sealed. 1t is feared that man in
America will shortly he without fitting
mate and life cease to be delicious. Genial
and otherwise delightful specialists are
quoted and miaquoted in all their trte half
truths. old books are consulted, and every
thing doleful is put into paper that could
not be bought, yet which appears. 1t is not
arranged, for it happens and * always bya
man. Strange that the inc0ngruity Of the
situation passes muster.
The study of young women by the aver
age practitioner is about as valuable as
would he the study of botany from dried
plants. Everything is there except the
life Of the subject. This absence dis
turbs not the serenity Of the ingenious
thCorist, who tells us too often hat in spite
of the invigorating influence of inter
min"ling Of race, of favorable hygieuic
possibilities in the United States, of health
full liberty that everywhere prevails in this
country, the American girl is by no means
what she should be physically. As II saw

The question of any deterioration in the
American girl is quickly settled by an APP
peal to trade to simple dollars and cents.

that small women who formerly found a

A young woman who had half a dozen
times either mislaid or been robbed of her
best umbrella finally concluded to try an
original way of keeping it. She had new
one made and mounted on an ivory topped
stick. Then she had the heavy piece OF

Of her own head and face. No one looking
at the bit of ivory work for an instant could
mistake the likeness between the owner
and the head on the handle, Her friends
predicted that the beauty of the handle

COR the head and face were exceedingly

necessary, and only once has she missed it.

his cowhide soul. And as he wander
