More Practical end Thorough Than Her Eastern Sister
When at Colege-Has Head for Business and
Is Able to Care for Herself

there is a great exposition to be car
ried on, there is no fear that the young
women Of the west viii leave their
part unadorned. In European courts
and in lofty places in the far of east
our western girls have shown in bril-
liant light Lady Curzon's name will
not soon be forgotten. No daughter
Of line Of kings ever more adequate
ly filled an eminent position or more
beautifully bore the honors Of vice
regal state.
It has sometimes been said that
the young women of the west are q
step In advance of the men in the
graces and amenities of life. In other
words, that they are more polished
and attach more Importance to con-
ventionalities than their husbands
and brothers do. This Is only partially
true. The manners of son Of the
soil anywhere in our western land are
good enough to pass muster among
manly men, and are therefore. the
manners Of gentlemen. If a man be
honest, kindly and well-bred what
more is wanted? Surely 1t is natural
that ceremony. table etiquette and the
minor things that belong to social In
tercourse, should be In the hands OF
the women. a
Ones thought goes with a certain
sympathy to the young women whose
lot is cast not in village or town, but
on the frontier, on the edge Of min
ing camp or on ranch remote from
neighbors. The girl who lives on the
rim of civilization, If educated, must
depend for much of her pleasure on
books. She has many solitary hours
Housekeeping with her is simpler
than in cities and she devotes a good
deal of time to outdoor life. Such a
! girl lives in the open, rides well, an6
is never more beautiful than when fly
ing across the plains on pony swift
and sure Of foot. She asks no odds
OF anyone, but can saddle and bride
her horse and is on friendly terms
with him, let him be ever SO full Of
| spirit and fire. She is good shot ant
abundantly able to take care Of her
self.
The young woman Of the west cares
more about reforms of every kind thar
does her eastern sister. She has beer
brought face to face with a roughel
life and has seen men tempted ant
tried. If she fights the power Of tn.
saloon or any form Of graft and de
generacy, she does 1t because she seel
only too plainly that it must be me
and coped with or 1t will prove |
menace to the republic.

Suggestions in Line
of Christmas GIFTS.

Now that the last month OF the year
has begun it's hurried march on the
sands of time, every one seems to just
begin to realize the fact that Christ
mas is but three weeks of, and Nine.
Merri is besieged with letters, the
burden Of nearly all Of them is, what
shall make for Christmas?" Let
me tell you of one little woman !
know who is really going to enjoy her
holidays this year without any more
than the absolute necessary hurry and
hustle that always comes with the
"last days.; no. matter how careful
the preparation may have been. BY
the middle of November her gifts
were all carefully done up and ready
to be delivered by post express or
messenger, as the case might be; this
month she is looking out for her char
ity cases. individuals whose lives she
may brighten, making list OF those
to whom Christmas postals may be
sent and in a thousand and one ways
endeavoring to bring the true Christ
spirit into her plans. This she calls
her "real Christmas" But to go
back to the subject of what to make
for gifts; want to tell the readers
how one young woman has solved the

factory manner to herself, and am
sure it will be to the recipients OF
the dainty gifts.

"Yes," she said, Il Just could not use

Then there were embroidered

Roosevet's policies more nearly than does any of

if for other, he is well placed in the race, al
