LARGEST CLASS IN THE HISTORY OF
 NE W BRITAIN
(continued from Tenth Page.)

terday there are still moonlit gardens and sweet singing guitars. So these quaint girls are very happy in the manner of their own land.
 But there are a few girls who have heard the startling news that the Orient is three hundred years behind the rest of the world. Straightway trey have spread the news, and in a few years may it not be possible that these same girls who now live in the land of yesterday will push ahead. with characteristic Oriental thorough ness, file into step with the American girl, and march side by side with her in campaign to change China and Japan from lands of yesterday to great ones of today
 There is an old tale of how one of the most beautiful of Carthaginian queens caused an immense funeral pile to be erected when the Romans were at the gates of her cfty, and all her soldiers were slain. Then calling together her maids, and the princesses Of royalty, with them, sne mounted ard set fire to the pyre, then ran dagger through her heart, rather than jet the Romans boast that Cartha- genian girls and a Carthaginian queen hd been dragged through Rome's streets in triumphant procession of victory. Is it any wonder then, that with such an example of fierce pride sand courage in one of the worlds most beautiful women the men of Carthage, and Greece and Rome should fight their way yo greatness over every obstacle, and give so much to1the world as they have given? Of such a type was the Girl of Ye esterday in Carthage and Greece and Rome, even as this queen, counting life as nothing towards national honor and patriotism.
 Perhaps the Girl of Today does not realize what a part education is play ing in broadening her vrew of life To the Girl of Yesterday learning would have been the most exciting pastime imaginable. Strange as it may seem. the French girl grew tired of her music, dancing, gossipping. and flirting: grew tired Of the shallowness of the life she led. The Spanish girl found it monotonous pastime won- dering whether a scarlet or a canary yellow would be most becoming for the next court ball dress or whether she would appear fairest of all in the eyes of a certain daring young soldier just home from the wars The Ger man girl imagined that it would be Iar more pleasant to read all the wonderful tales that people had said were found in some very precious looks in the cities. than to crocret

on the whole, these girls were very 1ovabie. We hold a strong feeling of regard for the brave Puritan girl with her white cap and collar and cuffs. We all love equally as well, the Girl of 1890, with her dainty. full-skirted dress her wide, drooping, f1ower-ladened hat with gay stream CTS that tied under her proud little dimpled chin, her silk half mitts, and if you look close enough, coquettish little black patch pasted on her rosy cheek. e
 But isn't the Girl of Today re- markedly like this winsome girl, this Girl of 1880. a favorite in all Amer ican Yesterdays? Doesn't she often wear a dainty full-skirted dress with little puffed sleeves of silk? Hasn't she a wide, droping, flower-ladened hat with gay streamers perhaps tied under her chin? Hasn't she rosy cheeks and dimples too? So really there is no difference in these girls, The Girl of Yesterday and of Today And if you like the Girl of Yesterday. then you needs must like the other equally well And if you love the Girl of Today then must you love the Girl of Yesterday for they are both just the same-just simply girls!

endless bedspreads and bridal linens. But, education was considered most harmful for girls, during the past cen- turtles in Europe, so the European girl of yesterday could not ever hope to learn those lessons which would have made her life broader ana more worth while.
 Tn England, however, 1t was nat ural that boys and girls should have received almost equal educational ad- vantages. Though quick to grasp this learning these girls did not dare to act any differently from the way in which they had been trained. Could you imagine anything more shocking than for an English girl of the seventeenth century, to re- fuse to accept as a lover one of whom her family approved? Dou you think that girl would have been considered spirited in upholding her right of se- lection, or would the matrons of the village shake their heads and whis- per that the girl ought to be kept on bread and water for a week, until she realized how very light-headed young girls seem at times? Or if q girl of the eighteenth century should have cast sidelong glances, in church. at a straight young farmer lad across the aisle, instead of modestly keep ing her eyes averted do you think that folks would believe. that she was re- ligious Or if a little maid grew tired, one day of being grown up, and romped around a green English mea- dow land. would not folks say that she was too childish, and it would pay her better to patch another quilt for the winter weather that would come again in a few months?
 The American Girl of Yesterday was much like her English cousin. The Quaker and Shaker girls in their sober dresses of dull grey, were taught to regulate their actions to their dress There were no gay quilting parties for them, no corn huskings nor apple-parings such as the later New England girl enjoyed But New England was a land of pro- gressiveness and this. girl of yester- day showed many signs of being a girl of today. But still, there was a considerable stretch of untravelled road before this girl became a girl of today Before she who sat at one end of a fireplace to entertain, with the aid of her family, a young man seated at the other extremity and half hidden from her view, became the girl of the twentieth century who can, in two minutes time reduce staid, conceited young man, of conde- scended mien to blushing stammer- ing condition of confusion so great that his collar seems to be gripping him with checking hands that he needs must put out of the way
