WHITE ON THE AMERICAN GIRL
The Typical One Is Not a Society But

The real typical American girl is not a
society girl. Portraits IMPLYING her as

Elnd her social merry go-rOund of pleas
iflre. but they are not her life they are
smere Incidents of her life. for her life is
work. Of course there are girls who
have nothing TO do but to amuSe them
selves year in and year out. Pictures Of
these girls. with their kind, in festive
gear, III full dress. in golf clothes and in
yachting rigs. are doubtless typical of the
class. But the entire class does not num-
