The UnsociabIe Girl.

In many instances she is girl who
is not timid, but one who holds her
self aloof from other girls. She may
minglc with them ut times, though in
all reality she seldom enjoys their so
ciety TO any great extent A girl of
this kind Is wholly indifferent to. the
plaudits of society, and while 1t may
reasonably be supposed that she is
lonely at times, yet. as a rule. she is
not. She has her ideas of enjoyment,
which companionship for the further
ancc of certain amount of keen sat
isfaction in living. Frequently girl
of this kind is Il singer. musician. ar,
list or a woman with some great am
lition and enjoys the pursuits of
something in IL profession. She is
kindly disposed toward those with
whom she is associated, yet mostly
toleratcs rather than encourages any
thing from them for her enjoyment.
BY many she is called queer, unso-
cial, disdainfnl and arrogant but she
is not wholly without friends, and
when summed up they are not many,
but of the class which make up rich
treasures. She never makes many
friends. for she does not want them
She has peculiar method of living in
a world which she makes for herself,
which is idcalistic. though never APP
prcciated by the girls who never
know.
