The truest, best and sweetest type
of the American girl of today does MOI
come from the home of wealth; she
steps out from the home where exist:
comfort rather than luxuries. She
belongs to the great middle class-that
class which has given us the bes
American wife hood; which has giver
helpmates to the foremost American
men of our time, which teaches it:
daughters the true meaning of love
which teaches the manners of the draw
ing room but the practical life of the
kitchen as well; which teaches its gIrl'
the responsibilities of wife-hood and th'
greatness of motherhood. These girl'
may not ride in their carriages, the,
not wear the most expensive gowns
they may even help little to enlarg'
the family income, but these self same
girls are today the great bulwark o
American society, not only present. bu
of the future. They represent tn,
American home and what is best ans
truest in sweet domestic life, and the,
make the best wives for our American
| men.
