There are, says the Pittsburg Press,
three types of girls recognized just now,
the girl who is pretty, the girl who is
stylish, and the girl who is picturesque.
OF course there are types Of the intellect
ual and the studlous, but when they are
these they cease to be called girls, and
are given the more digniied title of wo-
men. so the girls may readily be con-
fined within the limits of the three types
first mentioned. The girl who is pretty
seems to have an invincible weapon In
her han6s. She is taught from her infau-
cy that she is favored above other girls
and. a'as, by the law of natures compen-
sation, she generally grows up without
an idea in her fluffy pate. beyond the best
rose for that same pate, and the best
becoming piece of millinery with which
to adorn II.
She may be OF the dashing vivid style
of beauty, in which case she is often bold
and forward, or she may be of the sweet
clinging style. in which case she is al
most always enYeighed, and she
may be neither. but merely pref
ty with a good complexion. prst-
ty eyes and pretty hair. At first
glance one might suppose the pretty girls
to have the best of the race, but exper
fence proves otherwise.
The stylish girl is the one whose clothes
rake the commonplace hat of her pretty
sister and, placing IL on her modish head
give it pat or two which will transform
1t until her ne ghbors will swear 1t is i'm
ported. Her gowns may be plain and
cheap but they are worn with an indefn-
able air, which makes them better look
ing than the satins and velvets which the
other woman wears with an i'll grace.
Everything belonging to her partakes OF

day sailor or rough straw is distinguished
as IL hangs on the hall rack, and the fuz-
Nv brown cape which she dous in wet
weather looks more perky and self-satis-
fed than its neighbor, the sealskin. which
Soes not belong to the stylish girl. 1t Is
some vague power within her which ena-
blee her to Sc ect out OF the thousand and
one hats at the millinery opening the very
bit of headgear which VIII make her the
cynosure of all eyes.
She may be a milionaire's daughter, In
which case she is invariably the belle of
the season, and makes the very best
match, or she may be a shopgirl who sells
ribbons and laces by the yard, in which
case her coil of hair is the smoothest and
best groomed looking in the days OF
smooth hair, and her curled bang the
fullest and most ethereal looking in the
days of puffed curls. She has an air
give half their lives to possess. and which
attracts the admring eye of all the men
on the street when she appears.
Now the picturesque girl does not strike
one at first sight so favorably. but she Is
the one who grows on us until she seems
the incest thing in the rooms, and the
best bit OF beauty within sight Her
gowns always have dreamy fall to them,
as If some of her soft, poeticaI nature had
animated their folds There are grace
full curves where another woman would
have commonplace drapery. Her hair has
also a soft silken wave which suggests
beauty. poetry, art, all sorts of delightful
visions, and her hands and feet-well,
these are her strong points and II she is
a wise, picturesque girl, she knows it and
makes the best of them.
Standing beside a huted pillar, with one
round arm above her head and a far
away look on her face. she is a subject for
a dream, and seated in a garden, always
with some roses tumbllns out OF her
hands, she looks like the f2irest bit of
natures handiwork the enraptured on
booker has ever gazed on. She Is always
delightful, for she Is continually a con-
trast to the women about her. because
there is generally only one OF her in
community or course, she has imitators,
but they are always recognized as such,
for their graceful falling draperies are
always untidy, but the real, hrst-cllss.
bona-fde, picturesque girl is a thing of
beauty and a joy forever, and her path Is
generally one or roses and sunshine all
her life through
