Tie Southern Girl.

the Ladies' Home Journal, has this to
say OF the girls Of tho Southland:
''rhe Southern girl is surrounded by
a life far truer and more conducive
to self.development than girls living
in other sections, because social con-
dit ms are more normal. Her life is
lea .thier because it is saner, and her
mind, by reason of it, is clearer and
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 es it develops
them. In no part OF our country do
women look younger at maturity than
in the South. Tc the Southern girl,

seems we'll to emphasize by much
repetition that women Of generous
proportions should invaribly reaounce
all Of these round-waisted styles, no
matter how beautiful they appear on
some other slenderer figure, or how
universally the rage for them in
creases. Adopting these waists is not
a matter OF age, for the young, the
mature, and the elderly find them
comfortable and useful. it is simply
a matter Of figure, and, for women in
clined to stoutness. there are many
close, trim, ard attractive models
which make them look better and
slenderer than any Of the 'rcund'
styles, festooned with net, draped
with lace, and finished with eircling
ribbon, bells and bows, which cut OF
the apparent length Of the waist by
two OF three inches.

against one side and my feet and

hour had come, and I began to think
seriously Of lying down and letting
the bear kill NE, so as to get out OF
my misery as quickly as possible. .
"Suddenly an idea struck me, and
despair gave way to hope. I drew out
my hunting knife and stood on tiptoe.
When the bear was about seven feet
from the bottom OF the hollow, I
fastened On her tail with e 7iseiike

a whole tribe OF Indians.
s'What did she do: Well, you
should have seen the performance.
She did not stop to reflect moment,
but shot out ct the top of the stump
like bullet out Of gun. I held on
until we reached the gro@. Then
the old bear went like lightning into
the brush, and was out OF sight in
half minute.
