HE--H>7@N K telling MS love,
and soft, and there was a little culver
about her mouth that seemed to say,
Isn't that the most exquisite thing in
the world, that story of love?'
And then, when tile comic man came
OH and laughed with his partner, she
laughed too. 1t was little laugh that
Sparkled from her eyes. that brought
out the dimpleS in her cheeks, and then
there came musical sound that was
Dlrdlike in its beauty.
That girl saw nothing but tie play
while it went on, and with her face to-
ward the stage, with so much express
sion in it, living with the actors. suffer
ing and being merry with them, she
was the most charming being in the
whole theater.
IneYer ceased watching her; and then
said to somebody: ''Where does that
girl come from?"
From Chicago" said one. "Lo0k
what beautiful hair she has,"
From Boston" said another. Look
Mt the Intelligence in her facew
And then | said, Look at the romance
in her eyes; look at the grace of her
body as she gets up! That girl is from
the SOnth." There were numerous bets
made about this, and later oil it was dis
covered that, as usual chow | did glory
in this, was right; for the real girl,
the pretty girl, came from Louisville,
and if Henry WatterSOn gets into the
White house she will be one of the pref

adorned that dreadful-looking Sepul-

The Girl for "a Wife.
Since that day have discussed girls,
until have lost all knowledge of men,
and the conclusion | have come TO is
this: If my oldest son ever reaches the
age when he should marry, which is
about thirty, for before that no man
knows how to take care of woman,
shall say to him:
My son, let lis go down and visit our
people in the South" and then I'll pray
three times day, and twice, to increase
my appetite for devotion, that when the
procession of SONS and dogs start home,
the oldest son will be engaged to be
married to Southern girl.
md will tell you why | want him
20 have her. First she has perfect
belief in religiOn-and when one saws
religion, one means in everything and
everybody that belongs to her. She has
been taught to think no evil; she be-
]ieyes to have sweetheart is the most
delightful thing in the world, and it
does seem such perfectly lovely CON-
pliment to the favored one to see her
eYelidS fall and her cheeks cover them
selves with a mantle of m0deSty when
he approaches. She has been Taught
that husbands and wives love each other,
and she hasn't had discussed before her
all the miserable. mean. low talk of the
divorce court.
She can't imagine ladies being loud
voiced, dressed loudly, or not respect
Ing the gentlemen of the family. Some
times she sacrifices herself on the altar
fOf respect, but she dies in a good cause.
She'll tell you how nasty she thinks all
those so-called jokes about mothers-in-
laW are, because. naturally, if she
should ever get marTied-and when she
says this she droops her head and
smiles in a way that tells you that that's
one of the certaintieS of life-why of
course her husbands mother would get
her love just because she was his
mother, and, of course, if she happened
TO be a little queer she would make the
best Of it. because when people get old
they do sometimes get queer.
Then, above everything else. she
Rdores babies. If they don't happen to
have a baby in their home she borrows
one from neighbor, gains permission
10 wash and dress it, and devotes an en-
tire morning to cuddling the small
blossom and enjoying, in prospective,
the delights OF maternity. Now, these
are some of the reasons why | want my
boy to marry Southern girl.
The Girl From the West.
l like the Western girl. l like her
loyalty and her breezinesS and her de-
termination to have her clothes fit we'll
and to be up in the latest fads. Her de-
termination is as delicious as her eyes
are clear-those eyes that look right
straight through one and all over one,
as If inquiring with great rapidity:
''Who made your cloth frock? What's
the last new book? Where are you 60
ing after You leave here, and won't you
stay with us a little longer?"
| like her h0Spitalty; there she is
like her Southern cousin. But then she
is just a little bit too sure; if the South
ern girl errS on the side Of ignorance.
The Western girl does on the side of
knowledge. Still. | like her. Most of
all am | charmed by her perfect adapta-
bility. She would be at ease with the
car Of all the Russians, and equally so
when she is glving-and she gives gen
erouSly-to the beggar at her gates.
The Girl Of the Metropolis.
About the New York girl i like her,
but | don't love her. She is kind,
amusing and daring. Her kindness,
however, is often the result of policy,
and therefore one must not value it too
much. The fit of her gowns commands
your respect, but you would rather she
would not devote so much time and
thought to them. She can entertain
man better than any Of the other girls.
but it's too apt to be any man. and not
Just one man.
If she marries she makes a good
housekeeper, and she's stunning
wife. l don't like that word. but it's
one that must be applied to her. She
talks so we'll and SO much that half the
men in New York look like fools be-
cause she won't allow them time to
prove they are anything else. She is
not afraid to discuss anything; she gets
in the way Of talking things that are
not quite nice entirely as matter of
course.
She will not hesitate 10 tell you about
some man who's awfuliy mashed" on
a married woman. and she will laugh
heartily at a Southern girls look of.
wonder at the existence of such things.
She's a good mother, in way. She
dresses her children sensibly, and sees
that the drainage in the house is cor
rect; she doesn't believe in cuddling
them if they happen to hurt themselves,
for that happens to strike her as non
sense.
She hasn't enough gentleneSs. There
are few Old-fashioned words that will
never aDDlY to her: Gno of them has
