The ManniHh Girl

The change that has come over the
British girl is remarkable, according tG
Percy T. Judge, of London, who is at
the Raleigh.
Not so far back as a generation ago."
said he, the idea of the English girl was
something like this: Neck of lily. cheeks
of roses, and eyes of heaven; hair OF
sunny auburn, whose tiny tendriIs dance
with the slightest motion: face nearer
round than oval, but irradiated by the
unsetting sun of kindly nature; a figure
meek and graceful. wreathed in innocent
muslin, and perpetually undulating and
bending into lines of beauty.
"A girl of that type" sighed the good
Londoner, ''is seldom to be met with
nowadays. She is a rara avis, only to be
seen in country districts and out-of- the
way places, far removed from the hun
dred and one bIighting influences and at
fractions of town and city life. These
certainly tend in the direction of the un-
making of the typical old English girl.
"Our schools to-day are III a large
measure responsible for the tOmboy, who
is multiplying on every hand at an as
tonishing rate. You come across them
by the dozen. Mannishness is their chief
characteristic. They seem to try to imi-
tate men as far as possible. Their dress
is similar to that of the male sex; they
smoke, they cycle, drive automobiles, play
golf. hockey, and other vigorous games.
Indulgences in these pastimes is even
leading them TO walk like meen. They
are breaking into a stride which, in my
young days, would have been regarded al
most criminal; at least as sign of bad
breeding"

Washington as n Mecca.

Col. F. r. Walker, of Richmond, Va,
is at the New Ebbitt. He is an old SOL
dier. and he knows whereof he speaks.
He said: The man whose health does
not permit of strenuous Office labor, the
man of moderate income with bookish
taste, the retired capitalist, the super
ANIMATED bank president, all have hard
time in obtaining sufficient human com
panionship.
This is particularly true Of retired
army and navy officers. A fixed day,
their sixty-fourth birthday. finds them
promptly shelved. They give up their
regiments or the command of departments
or of fleets at the stroke of noon on the
fatal anniversary. They wander home
ward to the towns they came from, only
to find that after the first weeks issue
of the Daily Watchword recounting .neir
gallant services on land and sea their
friends can hardly conceal their iu'pa-
tience if these veterans appear q second
time at their Offices.
Hence it is that for the retiring officer
Washington is a Mecca. He cannot walk
down Connecticut avenue without meet
ing a score of men he knew in the serv-
ice-coIoneI, general. or admiral-one OF
these titles he applies to almost every
man he meets The Army and Navy Club
or the Metropolitan always has its Oc-
cupants Somebody is sure 20 ask the
veteran how he swan ashore in that gale

was a considerable fall of snow.
The month of June, of the same
year, was quite cool, many per-
sons having open fires during the
month and top coats were very muc
in evidence and quite comfortable
July 4th, of 1907, was an ideal day.
There was a splendid breeze all day
and at night blankets were very
much in demand.
From the above statement it will
be seen that while this vicinity does
not seem to have been visited by
such a hot spell at this season dur
ing the past few years, yet the wea-
ther conditions are unusually vari-
able during this season, one year
being very cool while probably the
very next one will be just the re-
verse.

Some Hot Weather Facts.

Have you ever noticed when
very warm or very cold day makes
itself felt in the community, how
many persons there are who are
ready to say that it is the hottest
or coldest day in forty years? Forty
years seems to be a favority time
with the weather specialists. Quite
recently during the warm days, when
so many persons had been suffer-
ing from the heat, one could hear
upon all sides statements to the eff
feet that the heat was awful, the
worst that different persons had ev-
er known at this season of the
year, and many similar expressions.
Through the courtesy of Deputy
Clerk of the Circuit Court James S.
Shepherd, we have been able to as
certain facts about the weather dur
ing the past eight years, which in
dicates that the hot spell of the
last few days has been no worse
than has frequently occurred, and
also another fact, that there was
more complaint during the years
when the thermometer registered a
lower temperature than when the
mercury ran higher. A few of the
weather conditions noted are as
follows:
April 80, 1903, the thermometer
registered 80 degrees above; May l.,
the next day, it was A degrees
above, a drop of 46 degrees.
May 8, 9 and 10, 1906. the ther-
mometer lowered around 40 de-
grees above, and on the 11th,it was
80 degrees above, with frost.
May 27 and %, of the same year,
the first rain fell since the 9th of
the month, period of three weeks,
the drought being of about the same
duration as the present one.
May 27, 1907, tire thermometer
registered AZ degrees above, and
