"HERE two types of The Golden Girl"
born to almost limitless wealth and reared in
atmospheres Of luxury As exempars, their
lines OF life diverge. The type of young woman that
most attracts curiosity and commands popular at
tention develops amid frivolous surroundings She
never comprehends the worth of money as an agent
for the relief of want and Of despair and at the
tainment of the legal age often becomes the nhertor
of independent fortune
The reader need not infer that the moral status of
the girl of this type is irnpered; the contrary,
her dissipations interesting owing to the in
genuity with which their extravagancies are
trved She is by birth and training a sister of The
Johnny Boy, and only the barrier of prevents
her classification with him among The Gilded
Youth" However strong her incnations to go
rapid pace, clearly defined restrictions of society
moderate her eccentricties and temper her frivol-
tiles. Although she need not be condemned by
those who do not understand her environment, she
cannot be recommended a model for the rising
generation. There may not be anything debasing
in young woman wading through fountain in
sponse to dare, if she happens to be good whip
and the night dark in the feat of mounting the box
of cab and driving home from evening party
with her escort sitting inside the vehicle
In sentence, she may be described The Girl
without a Chaperon, assured of independent for
tune. Of late years, childless uncles and maiden
aunts have given 1orescence this dashing specimen
of girhood by providing for her a separate establish
at of the fashionable women's clubs of the
metropolis custom long favored in the setting
up of nephews in bachelors apartments
This Golden Girl does not know the meaning of the
word extravaganza it never has been mentioned
in her presence. Equally true her spontaneous
methods of getting rid of money ncomprehens-
Bile to men and women who finance themselves She
has little more than speaking acquaintance with
her parents Her earliest grievances are against her
nurse; .afterWard they center upon her governess;
later upon her maid. When sent away to school,
her teachers become in her eyes members of the
menia class, in the category with her mothers
housekeeper who takes from matronly shoulders the
cares of the domestic menage

maid,-lured from the pathway of humanity by
weekly wage much larger than she could in the
direct line of her profession only such periods
of the day the former is in possession of that part
OF the child's body described as the mind" 1t is
the office of the nurse of the governess to at
tend her young mistress upon the daily drive. In
every household of the class described this is very
important point.
When The Golden Girl attains her teens, the time
of going to bed is extended: by fifteen she may re-
main up till ten o'clock At the country house, she
may have her own saddle pony and groom to
company her when she rides out. If the regning
daughter of the family she may have the of the
greenhouse the stables, the garage, carriage house.
and when she plans to entertain girls of her age
may even invade the kitchen, give orders to the
chef and bully the butler. She is aware of the
elusive atmosphere that surrounds her fathers valet
and her mothers maid both of whom refuse to recog
nize any growth of her authority
Her social debut, which may occur any time be-
tween seventeen and twenty does not belong in this
article although it is event of stupendous mpor-
tance from the mothers viewpoint. Then it is that
mother and daughter really make each others ac-
quaintance.
Their Education"
0NE is astonished to find that comparatively few
girls of the very rich families possess even fair
educations. This is not due to lack of opportunity
much multiplicity of other of killing
time. There is something doing for such girls every
hour of the day The finished young woman of this
class rarely acquires satisfactory knowledge of
French music, supposed to be her chief accom-
plishments. Her English, though not raggedly in
correct when spoken is superficial; she knows more
about divided skirt than split infnitve. If she
has had the French language hammered into her
head by Partisan nurse and has developed fond
for its doms, she may possess therein
complishment. Music proves to be more difficult
and less successful undertaking; if she has advanced
as far as Chopin nocturne or two she has done we'll
Beethoven and Mozart are not for her. not that she
is likely to affect syncopation the ragtime of the
music halls The only history she knows will be ac-
quired from Baedeker: geography will be made

The Pampered First Stage

The Pampered First Stage
SHE is literally born with golden spoon in her
mouth" With rare exceptions, SO rare that they
become subjects of varied comment this infant is fed
by some healthy but sadly unfortunate woman who
has lost her own child This person is selected by
the family physician in ordinary" after extended
Investigations and inspection of the marriage
license. For year more the life of that nurse is
a dream of Lucullus: she is pampered and fed has
room to herself and an understudy to attend upon
the child at all times except meal hours. These are
prescribed by the physician, and the instructions
in typewriting hung under the electric light are fol-
lowed to the letter. One day, like Civis on the
bridge the Wahal, she disappears, never more
to be heard of in the history of the let say Creo
sote family.
For the first five years of this girls life the family
physician employed by the year. is in evidence al
most every time the child cries According to the
medical authority her frail existence is threatened
with every disease to which childhood is liable; but
lnfantlle contagious, now reduced to their lowest
terms by science averted, one after another
We next encounter the subject of our study, ac-
companied by her own maid, driving in Central
Park She has reached the age of observation, and
knows tree from automobile She is having the
great world paraded, panorama like, before her abb
sorbent eyes.
The maid, in this instance, is quite an important
person and worthy of separate article She has
been graduated, which means measured" from the
school for training chdren's nurses, described as
