she would have tainted from grief. as usual, and would have moved over in- to another arbor and taken it out on the moon next night. Wasn't that a queer age, the sentimental one?
 But the new girl is as different from the old one as the new boy is not diff ferent from the Old One. Yet, the change is outward. She is the same sweet, engaging creature as all girls are, in all places, when you come to know her; only instead of cultivating a chalk complexion and consumptive voice, she is leaving her hat off and rolling up her sleeves ill order to get the benefit of the air and the sun, and is ashamed if she is not as brown as her brother after vacation. She plays gawl, she climbs hills, she shoots some -more's the pity, for one would draw the line at killing animals and getting drunk and going to races-she is bright of eye, breathes deep, shakes hands with hearty clasp like other folk. can play billiards, is something Of dab at bowling, and at home or in the hotel she does not go to the table and peck at a few pickles and some caramels;
 she strikes in with a good long fork and riots among the beef and potatoes and other victuals in way to make the landlord gasp. And when she turns in
 she is as apt to snore as not. None of your pining, lackadaisical airs for the new girl; none of your pale and inter-

 signifies life indoors, a cramped and
 half developed personality, weakness narrowness. Better is it for woman
 to go out and work in the fields, as she does in Germany, or on the roads. as she does in the West Indies, than to be forever coored up in the house making tatting tidies. The world does not need tidieS. because they have to be pinned
 to things. and whenever man sits on thing ornamented with tidy the pin
 gets into his neck. and if he has com pany he can not arise and swear, and the restraint is bad for his health: but there is 3 need for an oftener return to nature, and the golf girl tries to meet nature half way. She is leaving off corsets-at least part of the time and is therefore gaining in freedom of action and grace of carriage. Laws! If only you could see those negro women in the West Indies. who are never tied in and seldom shod, and could see their easy walk. you would realize what | feeble, mincing creature the average 1 town woman is. Furthermore, the new | girl con:esses to her humanness. She
 has been fighting it for years, but it l doesn't do. She can't be so spirituelle as the heroines of the annuals of those 1 times, so she frankly owns to an appe- 1 tite and chilblains and freckles, and
