TOWN AND COUNTRY GIRLS.
WHAT MAX O'KEIJ. HAS TO SAY
REGARDING THE TWO.
a Country Gtrl poRRoHsea Many Adorable
Traits That Men Wish tho Town
bred Glrl Would Emulate.

Max " hell IN New York journal.
received tho following lettor tho
othor day:
"Could you discuss the respective
merits and demerits of Town and
country girls? have been engaged
to town girl and also to country
girl. On both occasions the engage
ment has been broken off. Next
time l got engaged, if do, mean
it to be the rubber. Now, what do
You say-a town girl or Il country
girl"
From MANS point of view q
country girl possesses many "dora-
bio traits which he dovoutly wishes
tho town bred girl would emulate.
She is fond of u healthy life, sac
il natural, unconventional, has fine
complexion, il easy to please, has a
good appetite, rides, drives, walks,
boats.
Sho can don her attire and be
ready to accompany him for stroll
before tho town girl would havo even
decided which hat sho would wear
for tho occusion. A man would al
ways prefer that a woman should
pop on any hat and catch up amy
pair Of gloves that lay handy rather
than that he should be kept wa ing
while she performs all elo' ,rate
toilotto.
And this suggests maxim. When
you are married tho life naturally
compols you to sometimes 800 your
wife not absolutely got up for con
quest. Therefore never marry girl
who will never allow you to 200 her
except when she is perfectly sure that
all about hor is irroproachnble If
you marry that woman your life will
be spent i'll hours of precious time
wasted away. Marry the prompt
woman.
As guests in tho house the coun-
try girl is the delight Of the morning
and afternoon, while the town girl
ia essentially an evening bird.
The former gives little or no trou-
bio in the house. No special dishes
have to be cOncoct"d to coax her
appetite, for she njnys with " healthy
relish everything that il sot before
her; but unfortunately when other
guests arc present she relapsos into
ailonco for fear of betrnying her
Ignorance of the town society doings
and sayings
Social small talk is not in hor line,
| but she knows the name of every
tree you pass as you drive in the
forest with hor; she can tell you
what III good for horse, " dog, how
to keep poultry, ducks and tho like.
At breakfast time she is always
fresh and amiable, while the town
girl is sleepy picking a morsel of
tonst, if she has got up at all and
not ask you kindly to send her
| breakfast to her room. But in the
evening, when the city girl is just
waking up to enjoy life, this poor
little country maiden is wishing she
could retire at the same time az she
does ut home.
] feel | cannot answer my CORES
| pondent. The man who has spent
| all his life in the turmoil Of great
city will find the country girl dull
and uninteresting.
The man brought up in the coun-
try will find Miss Fashion Plate IL
bit of a trial.
A man should marry woman
whose tastes are like his. At the
same time it must not be believed
that tho country girl will more read
lily admire q husband than q town
| girl. The latter is more or loss q
woman of the world, and she will
not expect to find her lover a flaw
less hero; whereas, the little country
rosebud, born among the poe. = of
simple rural life, knows very little of
man and his ways.
Thus, when she falls in love, she
places the object of her affections on
the loftiest pedestal her heart can
raise, and weaves round his being q
network Of fanciful illusions. There
fore, beware, you may not be able to
live sup to it,"
