Of Giautcsscs?
WHY are almost all girls tall nova

say, how is it that modern naidens are
so much more developed than those CT

been assured that it is because, they
take SO much more outdoor exercise.
end because they so in for physical
training, that they have literally grown
up IN this extraordinary FASHION. Il
pleased great many people 30 have
this theory deduced.
But we are never suffered to hold any
theories long nowadays. Thus, one Of
those deplorable unromantlc persons
who revel in horrid prosaic facts tha1
knock down all our pretriest and most
poetical theories, has discovered Inc
real reason why girls are 50 much tal!ef
at the end Of the century than they
were at the beginning and m ddie. Inc
truth, 1--WE are told is that they eat
twice as much as their predecessors.
A small appetite used to be consider
ed de rigueur; to he hungry. per con-
ira, was vulgar. But the modern maid
en- makes no pretense of diving on ar,
or love, or meringues, or jelly, or what
ever unsubs tantial fare it was that was
supposed to nourish the girl Of other,
days.
She has a good hearty appetite. and
she is at no pains to conceal It; indeed,
she rather vaunts it than otherwise. a
good dinner she thoroughly appreciates.
and when she can get meat she never
tTifties with fripperies.
There is doubtless a great deal in
this very prosaic explanation of an OBJ
vious fact But if it be true, then. we
must keep our girls well in hand.
Increase of appetite" the immortal
maker of apt quotations has told US,
