Russian Girls.

In the minds Of the majority of Amer
leans Russia is associated with tyranny
of all sorts. yet there are said to be more
points in common between the Russian
and the English-speaking girls than the
girls of any other nation. The Russian
girl asserts herself, and no one in Russia
thinks the less of a girl for her wish to
learn or to lead an Independent life. In
all subjects she is an idealist, In this
point being different from her English
speaking sisters.
