people.
THE first and most obvious change Is
In the PHYSICAL appearance. The average
young girl to-day is taller than her
mother. She is not stout. but she is
d~eep-chested, with broad shoulders and
a Nat back. Her figure shows long, gra-
clous lines. instead of the 6gly. abrup,
curves OF the h~ourglass. Her arms are
long from much practice with the bas-
ket ball and the tennis racket, and her
hands and feet are strong and of good
size.
Her physical health Inc strength are
only outward manifestations of her
mental grip. Personally. | have always
found that the girls who are ihe best
athletes excel in the class room. The

GIRL" DOESN'T kick" Al
THE UMPIRE'S DECISION.

II can give you a little Instance from
my own experience to illustrate this
point. Not long ago our basketball
team was defeated In "A game on which
every member had set her heart. The
captain was telling me about 1t.
I'VE were terribly disappointed she
said, blu ! ont believe that any out

play that team We'll win!
THE new girl isn't fighting against
any decision. but she's making up her
mind to better 1t next time"
One thing / forgot to mention she
added, 'is the clothes OF the new girl.
Her shoes are neither too large nor
too small; they ht her and they have
heels OF moderate height. Her hat,

upon her head. She wears no garment
that Is unduly tight or combining. and
most OF her dressIi are cut on empir,

to the graceful and comfortable Dutcr

asked finally.
Outdoor exercise has had more to do
with her growth han any other one
thing" declared Mrs. Shaw. And the
feeling OF Independence and selt-rcspect
engendered by s~elf-support are other
potent influences. The new girl Is dis
tinguished by a desire to do something
which is a direct result OF physical and
mental energy. AS 10 developing

This is one of the most extensive
houses in their line in this section
of the state and in addition to the
large local trade commanded by the

business to all parts of the territory
tributary to Monroe City.

sure they can please you at al
times by selling the very highes
