Lines, and Never, Keeps You JjgHgr The New Old-Fashioned GirL Sometimes we hear what the mothers' meetings which are held In. boarding bouse parlors caH -a-"likely bachelor" express himself of the opinion that the old-fashioned girl Is no longer with us. He knows plenty of girls; girls whose hair has an unnatural blondness, girl a whoae complexion la widely varied tn hue, girls who go Into hysterics over a young mother's '"darling baby" and who never lift a finger to help make a gar ment for th youngster In their own homea. and he falls into this depressing mental attitude. ' He Imaglitta that the girl of the period -la a vapid creature.' adoring the lateat matinee hero, and consumed with Idle vanities and aelftsh Indulgences. This Is largely due, I fancy, to the fact that the kind of girl ha haa in mind a very much in evidence when aha la in evidence. I mean that the kind of atar part which she assumes on the stage jf every-day life somewhat obscures the more modest girl. Yet the quiet, hejpful home-loving girl was never ao much with .us aa now. She Is more likely to be found amusing the children at home than with the mati nee throng, more apt.to be aettlng the table than munching candy in the atreetcar, more apt to be found reading In a quiet corner of the public library than flaunting her gayest attire on th atreet Perhnpa the "likely bachelor" JflPs r. "JiLiHronc rincrtiu.i. Another aung that auggeats tills note of despondency is the fact that often the old-fashioned girl la very much up to date In other matters, and old-fashioned only tn her tastes. She reads the new books, she dresses in the latest mode, she la ke enly alive to all that la bright and happy In life. Perhaps he doesn't know enough to look below the surface. -. ---v-t- The old-fashioned girl followed close ly In the grooves worn by her ancestors, and while aha had a knowledge of do mestic matters and could darn ' the family clothing with scrupulous nicety, he waa of necessity circumscribed In view, narrow lu comprehension and superstitious.
