THE MODERN GIRL.

Every southerner has laughed
at come of the wise sayings of Mi
randy as exploited by q southern
writer, Dorothy Dix. Mlrandy is
chuck full of philosophy. Now
Dorothy Dix has this to say of the
modern girl:
"The modern girl is u snffragist
by instinct. She doesn't argue
about equal rights for women.
She simply takes them for grant
ed. She knows herself rs strong,
as intelligent, of as much impor
lance in the world rs her brother,
and II ls unthin kable to her that
he should have privileges which
arc denied to her, that doors
should be open to him that are
closed to her.
Such is the 1916 model of girl
that The workshop of progress has
tnrned OUT. equipped with all the
