I ANal these Toys suUulu ue g00u- 10 quote
a hospital manager. our babies do not
like three-wheeled carts, armless and leg
less dolls any more than do other ba-
| bies- / am surprised sometimes at the
I wrecks which are offered to us sometimes
| with a grand air of large bestowal. The
simplest toy we are grateful for If It is
| whole or misses, perhaps some nOn-essen-
tial part" II may be added that when the
toys are gotten together bit of paste or
l glue, with an odd nail or screw. viii work
| wonders often IN the way Of repairs. The
! same hospital manager deprecates the fall
1 ing on latteTly of the scrap-boOks that
l used TO be constant and ample. Children
have tired of making them, possibly, or
| consider that no more are needed, but
| nothing takes the place of them, and it
/ Is almost impossible to have too many.
The southern girl is very much what ira
/ dluon has painted her, says Julia Magru-
/ der in the New York Press, and the points
/ In which she differs from her sisters OF
\ other sections, be it TO her advantage or
\ 70 theirs, are those which are the gener-
\ ally accepted ones. There seems little
| question that she has more beauty, If less
good stlye and knowledge of the world
| So, too, her voice is sweeter, though
what she utters may not be so learned,
| and her limitation of range must be adj
/ mitted. Her manner Is franker. kinder,
/ freer, though II is very far removed from
| knowingness as to the correct mode in
| the elevation of "A handshake. or the not
folding of a napkin. Indeed, the very alb
| senee Of knowledge of the world is what
gives her her individuality and makes her
a distinctive type.
1t has often been observed that when n
southern girl travels she takes on polish
and worldly culture with a surprising ease
and with the basis of her natural advant-
ages becomes creature of tremendous
tact with European civilization is destruc-
tive to the peculiar flavor of the southern
girl pure and simple. 1t may produce some
thing better than the type, but 1t destroys
the type.
There is one point at least where the
] southern girl is the superior of her visi-
tors, that is in her relation to her own
! sex. Let strange girl come into a south
ern ballroom or reception, or afternoon
tea, and she will find herself surrounded
with spirit of friendliness and welcome
Even the ordeal of the dressing room is
turned from trial to a privilege. She will
! find kind faces to look pleasantly at her,
and kind hands ready to render her any
little service, quite independent of the
question as to whether they know who she
Is or not She will find that she is not
stared at, either with approval or severity.
If her gown is beautiful there will be no
vulgar curiosity about it, and If it is
dowdy or ugly, there will be no supercil-
ious criticism of glance. Contrast all this
with the manner that obtains in dress
ing room at the north, and the advantage
will undoubtedly be on the southern side.

NO" she answered. you did right to
ask me FIRST. am entitled to that handicap
on account of ma being a widow"
AS Mr.: Ward McAllister says the New
York World, the autocrat of the Four
Hundred, scanned the article containing
Mrs. Athertons statement that there is
hardly a beautiful or a high bred wom-
an III New York society,"" he paused sew
eral times, muttering to himself. she
is fool; she is fool. ID We understand?
ID. We see? In my opinion" he finally
added, and then stopped Wheeling MS

The Prince of Wales says that the New
ork type OF woman is perfect and his
opinion is authoritative. For myself 7
can truthfully say they far surpass Eng

matter many London professional
beauties are New York girls who have
married titles. On Fifth avenue. after

AS Tor France, I did not see one pretty
woman while 1 was in the country-not
even pretty chambermaid.
