THE MODEL GIRL.
Ambitious and Careful for Her Associates
No Use for Dudes

No Use for Dudes.
This article will be devoted to the
model girl. The ideal girl in Ameri,
: can life is perhaps not more abundant
to-day than fifty years ago.
The hrst essential to model daugh-
ter is sunny, bright, cheerful DISPOSE
| ton. She ought to be the life and
light and joy of the home. Whoever
else may be possessed Of sulky, sulleli
disposition the girl can at least afford
to cultivate such spirit. Girls are at
home more than boys. Home ought to
be bright and cheerful. Those who stay
there most ought to contribute most
to the joy and gladness Of the home.
Cheerfuilness covers a multitude Of
faults. The home circle never tires Of
! the company that is cheerful and
bright.
Another essential element of the
model daughter is ambition. The aver
age girl IN this nineteenth century is 50
ambitionless.
| To be pretty little thing, to out
shine somebody, to be more attractive
in personal appearance than somebody
else, to have more beaus and better
time than others, is about the sum and
substance of the ambition of thousands
Of our girls.
Character is not made up of either
beauty or bangs nor frllls aud founces.
Beauty is but skin deep and ugly is to
the bone; but the girl with real ambi-
ton, intellectual bition, moral ambi-
ton, proficient in culture and useful in
the social world, is the one that really
adorns 0. homes of this day.
The girl who turns her back on God
and piety, on the sick and suffering,
and seeks the giddy whirl of the ball
/ room, plays progressive euchre, or asso-
ciates with silly dudes, can neves 70
