The Most Beautiful and Most Favored
of all Gods Creatures

/ would have her reflect that a
southern girl has opportunities for
self-deyelopmeut and self-training
such as girls living in other parts OF
our country haYe not She is sur
rounded by a life far truer and
more conductive TO self develop
ment because social conditions are
more normal. Her life Is healthier
because it is saner, and her mind,
by reason of it, is clearer aud more
constantly at rest. The rush OF life
of the North and West is not so
stimulating as many Southern girls
suppose. On the contrary, 1t wears
women out as often as it develops
them. In no part of our country
do women look younger at maturity
than in the South. To the South
ern girl. too. Nature blooms in a
profusion as she does nowhere else.
The Natural history which the
Northern girl must get out OF

from natures own hand. She is
boIn of a soil as rich aud colorful in
romantic history as is the literature
of Spain. This she receives at nat
ural heratage. Her parents are,
and her ancestors were, among the

that is her own. If there is the in
