1t must be confcssed that tho Hwoll men

she hailed from Billville and who is the
daughter of many times millionaire,
and this one concludes that no she can
haro any trip she wRnta nhe will pay
no attention to the fact that certain
laws, rules and regulations constitute
carriage etiquette. In the first place,
she sits on tho wrong side. a lady
should always BIO on the right OF her
carriage just hshind the coachman. In
the sorond place. this lady is given
over to the jangling Of chains which
is a worse stamp of vulgarity than
claret livery with whitn collars and

Tho most correct livery to-day is
very dark one, blue or black being pre-
ferred. The boot tops should he white
and the coat have a velyet collar and
narrow velvet cuffs. The gloves shonl,i
be white, and tho hat should shine AS
if it were an advertisement for somo
shoe polish. The storm coat should he
of white ruhher, AMI in winter time a
fur cape OF black hearakin should he
worn. A good coachman never takes a
storm coat on victoria. If his mis-
tress chances the storm, be- must DO
the same. On hanaon-.thRt is, n
private hanson, and private hanson
is delightful luxury-tho driver does
not wear livery at all, and this is
done to distinguish him from tho orli
nary hanson driver, who alwaya wears
livery. Instead he wears a box coat.
his collar and pun scarf are immaru-
late, and hiH high hat hns marvellous
polish, while his gloves are dark tan
ones such as gentlemen woar. The
fashionable girl, who used to have a
phaeton, now has hanson, and she
manages 10 get more solid fun out of il
than abe would out Of any other trap.
But tho average girl gets good bit Of
fun out of lifo anyhow. Why shouldn't
she? She is young, well dresaeu and
pretty.
She enjoys her cloth gown because it
fits well and she is comfortable in it.
She enjoys a pound OF the best sweets
because Hhe shares them with her chum
and her digestion is good,
She enjoys matinee at tho theatre
because she is intelligent and has the
wisdom to select good play.
She enjoys dancing all night and
saying goud- bye to the boys in the
morning because she knows how to
dance and reaizes that those special
boys appreciate her.
She even enjoys the heavy German
opera because she is healthy enough to
sleep through the greater part of ii and
70 be fresh for the ball that is TO follow.
She enjoys the good things that she
does not possess. She can look Mt them
in the shop window and DO glad of the
opportunity to delight her eyes, for she
ia a nice girl, is this American girl, IA
good, all around, clean, honest girl,
full of fun, of life, ready to love and to
| be loved. She ia tho sort of girl you
would he willing 10 have your boy
marry, and il she belonged to ma and
happened to meet you and that nice
looking boy O. youra I'd lay deep
plot 81 that tho position OF motherin-
law might belong to Bah.
