QUEEN IN HER OWN RIGHT
American Girl a Combination of All
That Is Exquisite in a World
of Beauty.

We may be asked, 'Well, what Is
an American girl?" She is just this :
A vital person, with combination of
health, vigor, whoIesomeness and
beauty. The fact that many American
girls have in some instances a certain
amount of hereditary blood makes
them, as class. a delightful combina-
ton Of personalities. The typical
American girl is usually described as
being tall, slender person. with free
and graceful carriage. plenty Of poise.
and a face that bespeaks a welI-bal-
anced mind. One is apt to visualize
her as a person who can adapt herself
to any and all circumstances and be
an interested and interesting CONVEX
sationalist In groups Of young and old.
Taking her all in all, she is q person
who is a delightful companion.
The American girl is generally con-
sidered beautiful. If technically an
alyzed, the main charm Of her beauty
lies in the fact that her features are
chiseled, while many OF her contem-
pOraries are beautiful from the stand
point that their features are nodded.
There is a subtle difference It would
be difficult to state authenticity just
what the co1Oring Of the American girl
is, for she is invariably a blending Of
nationalities, and thus is a variation
Of type.

This is not new but it's worth re-
peating. a man in Zion City, Ill, sent
it to the News:
Two Zion City snakes. Of which
there are abundance on the lake front

ter snake and the other a bullhead-' %
Each was three feet long and in their
ferocity they seized each other by the
tail and proceeded to swallow each
other whole. They both started at the
same time and at the same rate Of
speed.
Now the question is, which OF these
two snakes survived, or rather which
one was on the outside by the time the
other was swallowed, the garter snake
or the bullhead7
It took Eve minutes for the two
snakes to swallow each other and they
both swallowed each other right TO
the tip of the fangs. Which one was

LOngorio manifested in every look and
