Upon Nature:
I cannot understand why IL is that 50
many girls make the miasake Of trying
TO adopt the manners Of their most adj
nired friend instead Of studying their
own style and behaving as will best set
off that style. The little, round Miss
Dimples, who would be perfectly de-
licious il all a-purr and s-smile. who
could clap her little soft hands and run
about with her sunbonnet hanging by
the strings, who could curl herself up
on cushions. and tumble her pretty
curls and be caressing. impetuous and
pouting-she is the girl who straight-
ems out that dear little back of hers,
and puts down primly the little feet
that would twinkle so prettily. She
pulls down the corners of her rosebud
mouth, aud is grave, polite and digni-
fed. Oh, save the mark! Think Of it!i
OF course, sometimes she is only deli
eious being dignified. but now and then
she succeeds in being stand-ofish, and
then all one can do Is TO contemplate ths
ruin of her child-like charms and won,
der why she does il.
This spectacle is sad enough, but not
30 dismal as that of the Juno creature
| who refuses to he q Juno and attempts
the happy soubrette. shs 10 the ono
who cnd1les, is chic, and skips about.
Her figure il made for fine dignity. her
features are well cut and somewhat
classic; repose is what she wants.
Those wide. serene eyes are splendid II
allowed to illuminate one with level
iovciiness, but they are ruined In trying
to twinkle and sparkle. Her shoulders
are magniheently poised in ststcesqus
quiet. but when they srs wriggiing and
/; shrugged they are only eiemsy. of
course the juno girl il always sure TO
admire her little pussy friend. but she
must remember that she cannot be
pussy, and that many people sdnirs
her own type. II IL only fair 70 than
that she should not spoil II.
Then there is the big girl. who musS
cultivate a touch of hauteur-pot the
Indifferent serenity of the classic girl
but the hauteur of the perfectly poised
moadaine. Here h . highrbred seorn
Of commonplace; she holds her head
sloft. eultivates all elegant conseotien<
slities. associates herself with the in-
peratire rustic Of petticoatA, is adept IN
the lateet social forms, always perfect
ly groomed, always fanltlsssiy srmorsd
| in manner. This In difficult type 20
sustain. but SO rare and beautiful one
that it r. Q shame TO see such gisl vast
1 ing her chances doing the ingenue.
/ The aesthetic type is out OF style but
the tall. very slender girl, With we'll
shaped hazds. and q wistful beauty,
| little wan, who looks bsst in soft lights
and loose gowns, had better 60 IN for
graceful lsnguor. for sn appealing las
situde. She will simply ruin hsyseh br
being energetic and athletic.
Then the snub-nosed litale GIN whd
| frecklcs, whose figure In stumpy. Who
has a head Of hair that Win make ttself
/ into a shock, whose muscles are easily
hardened. and whose health h psrfscts
vhy should she rob the world o. the de-
! IrhtfuI tornboy for which sbs was
meant. and try 20 be an airy firt ball
room tendencies? Oh. sirk; seudy
your OWE style. but rcmesnberia thsss
davs il Is individuality that countss1
Modern Society.
