NO LITTLE GIRLS ANY MORE.

There are no little girls any more"
People have always said that. Our
mothers said it when we got FESTIVE
at sixteen and seventeen. Their
mothers doubtless said it to them
when they demanded chignons and
tie-backs at eighteen. Indeed, it is
almost certain hat Lady Capulet said
it under her breath when Juliet be-
gan to hang over balconies and drop
notes to large-eyed Italian lads at

At about fourteen all little girls
want to grow up. 1t is not their
fault; it is nature, pushing hard for
herself and her single blind idea. WAS
there ever my love, any feeling Of
after-life as fresh and keen as the
feelings we had at fourteen Il six
teen when everything was starting
fresh in a brand-new world where
we were beginning to be important
factors? And do you remember the
dignity of it? We were told that We
we're still little girls!
Girls from fourteen to sixteen are
on a parallel with the Greek level of
civilization. They want happiness
and freedom ~passionately, and their
moral nature is not yet strongly de
veloped. Life is beginning to glitter
like a kaleidoscope, and the world is
big, and time is fleeing, and they
have to have good times before they
are old, and have to marry or be old
maids-either alternative a dimly dis
TAM virtual sinking into the grave!
And they are being allowed to think
for themselves.
Thinking for oneself, as an idea,
has struck every one ,forcibly within
the last thirty years. The landmarks
are all swept down. There is a new
heaven and a new earth, with not
much of the catechism left but Duty
to Your Neighbor, which never did
worry adolescence. 1t has always

eminent writer, there is infinitely
more truth than poetry in all saws of
this sort. For if there is on the face
of wide creation a creature appar-
emily bereft OF all sense and reason,
it is the individual who is deeply in
