A WELCOME TO THE GIRL OF 1907

shedding its silvery rays on the Girl or

Dazzling is the picture, pretty one;
but why shouldn't il be SO, when II has
taken twenty centuries 70 produce her?
She has many faults and virtues Of
her Illuminated grandmothers. but hu-
man nature is about the only thing in
this world which age cannot wither or
improve. II is just the same as when
Adam and Eve had their domestic trou-
bies in the old Garden OF Eden.
But for all that she is an individual
creature. a new type of ravishing femin-
unity that viii capture the most obtuse
masculine heart. So beware, ye bach

her unique charm viii frappe your steel

She is not OF the Lydia Languish

Women in History.
When a man begins to look upon a
woman as a. good fellow. he ceases
TO desire her for a wife.
Women who have made history have
not been dress rCformers or knotty mus
cled athletes. They were women who
Sioried IN pretty goWnlng. who were
schoOleo in the arts Of cOquetry, who
understood the nature OF men, who pos
sessed tact and diplomacy, and above
all. were essentially feminine.
