The Italian Girl
By MathiIde SeraO

- CHOOSE the girl from Naples be-
cause she is characteristic or the
= youth of Italy.
The girls belonging to Neapolitan
bourgeOisie must, like everywhere else.
be divided into three classes, the
higher, the middle and lower bour-
geoisie. The girl Of the higher bour-
geoisie is really only copy of the girl
belonging to the aristocracy, but not
always a good copy, for the blood after
all stands for something. and therefore
all the good moral and intellectual
qualities are overshadowed by her in
vincible craving to get out of her caste
and be elevated TO the aristocracy.
Some of these girls are virtuous, in
telligent and kindhearted but these
qualities are allowed to sicken and die
because of their desire to become rec
Ognized as grand society women. Why
therefore write about these girls whose
CThOle character is dominated by this
craving?
Then there are the girls of the mid
die bOurgeOisie who are as countless
as the stars of heaven and the flowers
of the fields. The girl of this class is
perhaps not always beautiful, but she
is always attractive. If she is a blonde
she is irresistible for her fair hair has
a golden simmer as it frames her deli
cately eolored face. with its mass of
golden curls. If she is brunette, she
has dark eyes and wonderful black
hair SO abundant that it is difficult to
dress. Her coloring is beautiful; but
she does nothing for her complexion;
nothing at all TO protect it against sun,
wind and rain, and soon after her mar
riage her skin becomes coarse and sal
low. She is usually of average height,
often inclined TO be stout-a tall slen-

often full bosOmed and just now when
it is the fashion to be willOwy, she is
rather worried about it, though she is
quite satisfied if she has a slender

but she patiently endures her fate, for

the husbands of Naples are fond Of
fleshy wives.
The girl always has an intelligent
brain and is quick to observe and
learn. Her education is rather indif-
1erent and she takes no interest in new
ideas, but this is really not her SsuIt-
but the fault of the SURROUNDINGS In
which she is kept q prisoner. In spite
or this she understands how to use her
common sense, TO give advice. assist
ance and help. And though she reads
no books, and is ignorant OF all modern
femininism. she still moulds the happf-
ness of her husband and her children
with great success
In friendship she is very sentimental:
in love faithful and sincere. and to
these feelings are sometimes added
passion and sensuousness. She VIII
perish for her love but not grow wicked.
And now few words about the girls
or the lower middle classes who are
stiH more numerous and who. closely
observed. possess even greater virtues
and advantages. This girl often lives
in poverty, poverty in which self
sacrifice for the sake of her family is
taken Tor granted. This readiness to
sacrifice herself strengthens the nat
ural talents Of the girl She learns
and understands everything. from the
making OF lace waists to coarse under
wear and household linen; from the
taking care of a house TO the painting
OF door and window frames; from the
cutting of garments to the trimming OF
hats; and If she does not make her own
shoes, she knows how to patch those
OF her little brother.
She is even more sentimental than
the girl Of the other classes and very
seldom marries rich man preferrinx
one as poor as herself Then her sac
rifices change. They become greater
and heavier. She quickly grows old
but never ceases to live for others

The HeraId's
Daily Short Story

OF his shop enjoying the evening air
with some of his neighbors treated her
as if she were a beggar.
What, trust people who might run
away during the night with their
horses and chattels? Not he!
+ Renie begged She told him that the
lion was starving and it might mean
the loss of a mans life, If it were not
fed before tomorrow. The butcher
shrugged his shoulders, while his
neighbors listened intently. Perhaps
they would see something interesting
tomorrow. They must not miss it,
they said to each other. Renie heard
what they said and but her lips with
rage as she walked back through the
Silent village streets.
Who was to face the starving beast
the next day? Clement was younger,
Roman more experienced. The latter
was the first being who had ever cared
for Renie and had spoken kindly to
her, but to the former she owed all
the happiness she had ever known,
for he lovedeher and she returned his
feelings.
When she came back she was crying
and no explanation was needed. She
sat down near the young man, who
put his arm around her waist under
cover of the darkness. Roman saw
it, and his face clouded, but he said
nothing. Plying these young people,
both of whom he loved, he bore his
sufferings without anger, well know
ing that they could not help falling in
love and that 1t cut their hearts to
make him suffer. All three accepted
this calamity which had come on top
of many others.
Standing on the platform outside
the tent the next day, Clement loudly
told the crowd how ferocious the lion
was and praised the courage of the
man who dared brave it. The people
listened eagerly. though scores of far
more gorgeous tents offered their at
fractions. At noon he sat down with
his uncle and young wife in front of
the lions cage, and the starving beasts
oloodshot eyes and restless move
ments made them forget the pangs of
hunger

Both grew silent as they saw the
woman's pale face They looked at
one another without hatred. but neither
cared TO be generous, each feared a
wound that would disfgure him and
make him repugnant to her, or death,
which meant a separation from her.
Let the dice decide" said Roman.
Renie brought the leather cup. The
old man made the first throw.
Eight" he said.
-Four" said Clement next.
Il cannot let you do it, Renie cried,
but her eyes met the sad eyes of the
old man and she dared not object. All
three embraced one another tenderly.
Then they began to dress for the show.

Roman was to sell tickets and show
the audience their seats. They did not
speak, did not say a word about the
drama to be enacted. All animation
seemed to have been crushed within
them. Renie wanted to take her lover
into her arms once more but the tent
began to fill. Roman was at the en-
trance. Clement stood near the cage.
The young woman mounted the Plat
form and shutting her eyes to the
sigh she heard behind her. she shouted
DIT the top of her voice: Ladies and
gentlemen, you cannot afford to miss
this show. The lion is furious. dread
full to look upon. The show begins
now right away. Come insidel Come

The waiting crowd of peasants
fiocked past the ticket office; the tent
was crowded to its doors. the Golfers
of old Roman were overf1owing When
the place would hold no more Renie
stepped from her platform, and the old
man pulled too the tent flap, while
Clement, casting one last look at his
friends slowly mounted the platform
and faced the hungry lion. A peal Of
thunder rumbled in the distance. The
lion answered with a roar, his shifty
eyes fixed on the man who was NOV
ing toward the door. He fumbled with
the lock. Again the lion roared, each
hoarse- below answered by the increas-
ing thunder Of the approaching storm
The cage door swung open; the audi
ence held its breath; the lion. every
muscle tense its tail thrashing the
floor of its den, watched Clement who,
whip in hand, stepped fearlessly
within.
So they stood a full minute, the au-
dience with bated breath; the lion
tense and silent; the man standing mo-
tionless near the entrance t. the cage.
The first gust of the approaching storm
rustled the canvas of the tent and
snapped the flags without; he lion
rose till its belly scarcely touched tie

There was roar. a binding fash and

A SCOT.
". j. Watson,

Charles Keith, an old Scot of Brook
ings,S. D., celebrated his seventy-fifth
birthday September 10 and finds his
heart still as young as when he was
a school boy in the north, of Scotland.
II is just fiftyeight years since the
Keith family left Wick for the newer
country, and the memory of the land
of his birth has been ever green in
the mind OF Mr.. Keith. Some two
years ago, when there was a parti-
cularly strong spasm of yearning for
the old land, Mr.. Keith wrote to the
postmaster Of his native town asking
him to hand the letter to any of his
old schoolmates who might happen to
be alive, but alas, they had all crossed
the great divide or left the place.
However, the letter was handed to
Baltic Simpson, whose father and Mr..
Keith's father had done business when
Baltic was a boy. A correspondence
sprung up; they exchanged photos
and intercourse has been most pleas
ant. Mrs. Boles, a sister of Mr.. Keith,
and her daughter are now travelling
in Europe, and visited Wick, the old
home, and among many other trips
took a sail in a steamer on the river.
Strange as 1t may seem, the boat hap
pened to belong to Bailie Simpson,
and he was on board. He saw Mrs.
Boles and, doffing his hat as a bailie
would, came up, saying: Pardon me,
but are you not n of the Keith
family?" On being answered in the
affirmation, he informed her he had
quite a correspondence with her
brother, and invited the lady and
daughter to supper at his home that
night. AS the two ladies were leav.
ing for France the following day,
that was the only opportunity. The
ladies thought the bailie should have
been a Sherlock Holmes, as it was SO
wonderful a man that should recognize
a family resemblance after a lapse OF
fifty-eight years. Mrs. Thomas Boles

1t is conceivable that religion may
sometimes be as a sensitive plant
that cannot bear the light. Gentle
men and women who conform to none
of the established rites may cherish
it in their hearts. 1t may fill their
minds with it's perfume every day
and they may be in a truly enviable
state.
1t is always lamentable, in such
