is tall and stately compared with the
round, full figure of the shorter South
erner. The temperament of the North
erner is mental motive; that of the
Southerner vital mental. The develop
ments of the Northerner are in the in
tellectual and moral faculties; those of
! the Southerner are in the scientific, per-
ceptive and social faculties. Self-es-
TEEN is larger in the Northerner, which
makes her a leader; approbativeness is
| larger in the Southerner, and this
makes her an entertainer.
HEAD OF THE NORTHERN GIRL.
'sThe head of the Northerner meas
ures higher from the opening of the
| ear tn the top Of the head than that
of the Southerner, While the head of
the latter measures more from the
opening Of the ear to the occiput. The
former has the well developed reason
| ing faculties shown in the upper fore
head, While the latter has a better de-
velopment of the observing or percept
i've faculties. There is a greater ac-
tivity and keener restlessness for po-
sition. knowledge and wealth in the
Northerner. while in the Southerner
there is more of the proverbial warmth

THE Northern girl is more self-re-
liant in her individuality, while long
years of opportunity, cultivation and
experience have led the Southern girl
to high success in the art of showing
hospitality and entertaining guests, to
attaining a large degree of elegance in
the details of dress, table appointments
and decorations, and the power to
make even commonplaces and nothings
seem attractive or amusing The
| cheapness of colored service has made
possible the leisure which is necessary
to the finest hospitality, and when her
personal and social charm are added
| to this, there is a galaxy of power only
matched by the mind of the Northerner
her force of character and her deep
and broad sympathies. The mind and
soul culture are pronounced in the
Northern girl, while the Southern girl
is light hearted, not given to too deep
thought, and she has an air of con-
| tentment, love Of ease, and a sense of
secure happiness.
Years of honest mental struggle
have strengthened the highly culti-
waited mental horizon of the Northerner
and given her an intense desire for
the elevation of the race, and the over
throw of wrong has given her lofty
poise with progressive spirit and toll
erance without prejudice.
| SOUTHERN GIRLS FOND OF NEWS
1.-The Southern girl, as rule, fin
isheS her education when she leaves
school, hence her reading afterward is
| generally of the lighter kind; her fond
ness for news leads to the reading of
current matters and inborn interest in
politics results in considerable knowl-
edge of and conversation about public
| characters. Even the humbleSt of
Southern girls appreciates style. and,
notwithstanding the Northern charac-
| teriStic, thrift it is certain that the
| girl of the South secures more COM
fort and display for every dollar she
spends than does her Northern sister"
But it was in speaking of the breezy
Western girl that the reporter had in
| terrupted Miss Fowler, to say. inter-
negatively, THE Chicago girl?" And
| the reply had come in words which
would seem to imply that of all the
girls in these United States it is the
Chicago girl who may be called a thing
of beauty and a joy forever.
1.-The Western girl Miss Fowler was
saying, SIS active; she has resource, has
capability; she is not nervous, not Sc
dentary in her habits; she is not quite
so refined as the girls further East
and right there the interruption had
come.
ooh, the Chicago girl" Miss Fowler
replied. "She does not exactly answer
the description of the Western girl.
She occupies halfway position; she
has the excellences of all her sisters
''She ought to be a very nice sort of
a girl" calculated the reporter, IN
some surprise.
.'She ought, indeed replied Miss
Fowler, warmly. "She is more har-
monious in her development: she is not
subject to extreme characteristics; she
is we'll poised; she has more central
location than the other girls mention
! ed
But everywhere" she continued, go
| ing ON with the general subject, ''in
other countries as we'll as in the United
States, peculiarities of physical and
mental development and temperament
and tone of voice are to be noticed in
| different localities. In Australia you
have the classical student of Adelaide,
the Creole of Queensland, the tall, beau
tiful and mature young woman of Mel
bourne, and the retiring, intelligent and
musical girl of Sydney, who is like her
English sister In the north of Ireland
you find the characteristics of the
| Scotch blended with the enthusiasm,
vivacity and wit of the Irish, independ-
ent, go-ahead and hospitable, while the
girl of Southern Ireland. with her
peach-like beauty, is polished, refined
and artistic.
There is one thing which every
| American woman will have to learn,
and that is to regulate her voice. She
should have the finest oratorical powers
of any woman on the face of the earth.
In time her voice will become modu-
