ENGLISH GIRLS WALK ALONE.
The Old-Time impeachment of Maid
Attendance Discarded

The independence of action character
istic OF the day as regards the feminine world
exercises unmarked effect upon the attitude
taken up by young girls belonging to the
upper classes.
Formerly they were hedged round by
many restraints; they were not allowed to
go here or there without being guarded by
one OF their own sex, either by mother or
maid. says the Queen. Did they go shop
ping, maid must go. too, and sit in the
shop side by side with them; did they go
out to afternoon tea, or to make a CALL the
maid must 60, too. and wait in the hall
IL is now considered quite permissible and
quite conventional for a young girl to walk
by herself through the streets of London.
She may walk alone when shopping, when
visiting, when attending classes or lectures.
to early and late church services, to study
art at South Kenslngton and other mu-
seums, or travel by train on district main
or suburban lines. or wherever engagements
lead
The line Is certainly drawn at walking in
Hyde Park alone, although some few in
dependent maidens consider their pet dogs
quite sufficient protection even there. but
there is no restriction as to the length OF
time young lady may look In at shop

A POEM IN STONE.
A Noted Authors First impressions
of the Tai rlahal.

Rudyard kipling
There is a story of a FrenchmaD, "who
feared not God nor regarded man." sailing
to Egypt for the express purpose ofscoffing
at the pyramids, and-though this is hard TO
believe-at the great Napoleon who had
warred under their shadow. 1t Is on
record that that blasphemous GauI
came to the Great Pyramid and wept
through mingled reverence and contriton,
for he sprsng from an emotional race. To
understand his feelings it Is necessary to
have read great deal too much about the
TAI, its designs and proportions, to have
seen execTable pictures of it at the Sima
Fine Arts Exhibition, TO have had its
praises sung by superior and Travelled
friends till the brain loathed the repetition
of the word, and then, sulky with want of
sleep. heavy-eyed. unwashen and chilled. TO
come upon it suddenly. Under these cir
cumstances everything, you will concede,
Is in favor OF cold, critical and
not too impartial verdict. As the
Englshm8n leaned out of the carriage
he saw first an opa-tlnted cloudon the hori-
Zon, and later certain towers. TIE mists
lay on the ground, so that the splendor
seemed to be floating free Of the earth, and
the mistS rose In the background, SO that at
no time could everything be seen clearly.
Then as the train sped forward, and the
mists. the Tai took hundred new shapes,
each perfect aud each beyond description.
1t was the Ivory gate through which all
good dreams come; it was the realization
of the ''glimmering halle of dawn" that
the poet TennYs0n sings of; it was
verbally tho Aspiration fixed" the Sigh
made stone" of lesser poet; and over and
above concrete comparisons, it seemed the
embodiment Of all things pure. all things
holy and all things unhappy. That was
the mystery of the building. 1t may be
that the mists wrought the witchery. and
that the Tai seen in the dry sunlight is only
as guideboaks say a noble structure. The
Engli.hman could not tell and has made a
vow that lie will never GO nearer the spot
for fear of breaking the charm Of the I'M
earthly pavilious.
1t NAV be, too, that each must view the
Tai for himself with his own eyes; work
ing out his own interpretations OF the sight.
1t is certain that no man can IN cold blood
and colder ink set down his impressions IL
he has been in the least moved.
To he ono who watched and wondered
that November morning the thing seemed
full of soTrow-the sorrow of the man who
built it for the woman be loved, and the
sorrow of the workmen who died in the
building-used up like cattle. And in the
face of this sorrow the Tai flushed in the
sunlight and was beautiful. after the beauty
of woman who has done no wrong.
