Like Best?

The college boy likes the pretty girl best.
Not thebeautiful girl or the stately, lofty, no.
BILE woman, with the physique of goddess
and countenance of noble purpose and eyes
full Of heroism and divine compassion, but the
pretty girl, who is gentle, yet saucy refined,
yet gay, aud coy, yet inviting. She must
be OF medium hight, for the tall girl sug-
gests the queen and is too apt to inspire one
with feelings of ave- She may be blonde
or brunette, languid or vivacious. but she
must not be Indifferent to the other sex.
tine college student has read and dreamed
of heroines SO much that he has very strict
notions of character and conduct. The
girl that suits him best is as pure as snow
and very reserved toward all unrelated
men except toward one particular college
boy; to him. she is very cordial and Just a
little forward. She gives him encouraging
smiles and confidential words just as soon as
they become acquainted. and that is not
long after sight and approval on his part.
She Is fond of books and poetry, is inter
ested in art and genius and admires intel
lectual attainments, especially in young
men. She takes a deep interest in the col
lege boys studies and sports and admires the
winner of academic honors second only TO
the pitcher and loveliest batter in the college
nine. She is quick and charming in CONVEX
sation, witty and sometimes sarcastic. She
reverences the powers that be and the estab-
lshed religion but she dosen't think much
of the Foundation and real meaning of
either, and her reverence never overcomes
her natural gayety Ior weakens her command
over her eyes and smiles. She respects pub
lie opinion and acts according to custom,
but she has arch and innocent ways of de-
| flying the one and disregarding the other in
little things, which add to her charms
without detracting from her modesty.
With all her intelligence and sentiment.
she has rem arkable physical health and
great capacity for enjoying all the delights

not snobbish; for she stands ready to ap-
