THE GIRL IN SOCIETY.
Girls all the world over and in all ages
have been subject of surprising inter
est 70 mankind. II is belief in this
statement and the desire to increase its
application to another generation which
has prompted the girl of today TO keep
herself constantly before the eyes of the
public. Her greatest desire is further 10
be considered an enigma more intricate
and difficult of solution than any of her
preceding sisters.
There is an indescribable satisfaction TO
some girls in being considered creature
OF Vagrant moods, and as she at first al
lows the effect of all her happenings 10
show in controlled buoyancy or desponden-
cy, she comes later TO be the uncon-
scious victim of her own folly She may
be an amusing and possibly an interest
ing study to men whose lives are mac
OF true women TO make happy homes for
them she is a riddle which they have no
time and but slight inclination to solve.
| am quite sure that men regard
sweet simplicity" as the greatest charm
in women, and especially in girls This
does not mean simplicity in the smpering
sense but an absence of that affected air
of bOldness and mannishness which has
lately been assumed by too many really
lovable girls. Then, tOo sincerity in ex-i
preston is one of the characteristics that
charm men. To be sincere and candid
the girl in society need never be abrupt
nor elf-assertive. Her tact and gentle
ness of heart will guide her in her treat
ment of persons. who are uncongneial.
The greatest kindness. which girl can
do herself in the way of laying up future
benefits is in showing kindness land at
tention to the older members of the So
ciety in which she moves. She thus in
spires gratitude and respect in about
equal parts, and a girl who is popular
with older people, and especially with
older women, is on the surest road to a
social success
