Undnnntnl nnd Impetuous.
Tho typical American girl of the period is
to be admired for her thoroughness. She is
undaunted. Impetuous and Belf.willed.
Jo. E. I Hall,
240 West Twenty-fourth street.
Cnmpnred to n Silvery Strenm.
The American girl is like a silvery stream
of water, flowing gently through its path of
virtue and washing nway all faulty weeds
that endeavor to obstruct her predominant
outlets of love, honor, peuco and happiness.

Crowned and (Sceptred.
The American girl is perfection. Let her
faults be whnt they may, they cannot mar
the coronet that she wears. The sceptre in
her slender band can banish pain and care,
for she caught the air of freedom that blown
o'er her native laud. The coronet that she
wears is her pure womanhood, her loyalty to
home and country; her sceptre is kindness
to friend or stranger.
Minnie Minooce, Morristown, N. J.
!A Perfect Woman.
The best typo of woman, her acts of kind
ness fall like sweet, refreshing showers upon
the hearts of all. Sharing with men and
boys, the no plus ultra of their woes and
joys.
A God-beloved and perfect woman,
Without her, man would be inhuman.
An Ameiuoan.
f The Champion Rnzadn.nazElcr.
Bhe is winsome and morry, not over bold.
A face framed in beauty, heart of true gold.

Through the mack of arrant hypocrisy.
Bho'n sparkling, incisive in natural wit.
! All the niche s'in life she can gracefully nt.

From Kitchen to pantry, from parlor to glide.

I Tho groat l azzle-dazzler is our American girl.
f Notim.
SA Htiidy Tor a Novelist.
Sho is naturally of a lazy disposition, but
Is equal to any emergency. A good cook,
an excellent nurse and first-class house
keeper. Sociable in nature, affectionate and
a little superstitious ; religiously inclined ;
fair to middling business woman, generally
displays good tnste in dress and household
arrangements. Has a mind which is easily
cultured ; inclined to be a little disrespect
! ful, very matter of fact and altogether is a
Rood study for a novelist. Elvira.
A Prize Worth, Winning.
The average American girl is very pretty
and very neat in her dress. Bnt, what is
better, she Ib a truo, outspoken girl. There
is no deception about her. She is indus
trious and learns very readily. Sho shares
your joys and comforts your sorrows. There
is not an atom of solfishness about her. She
is a model housekeeper, nnd is not ntrnid of
work. She is at home in the kitchen as wall
as in the parlor. She is ery dignified and
refined in sooiety. A man who obtains a true
Anierioau girl for his wife has a prize worth
winning. A Mother of One.
Tho Acme of True Womanhood. .
No pen can properly portray the ideal
American girl. She is in all respeots "a
gem of purest ray serene," and the electrlo
sparkle of her dancing eyes, tho quiet dignity
of her bearing, the elevated character of her
conversation and the soft sweetness of her
cultured voice mark her tho nemo of true,
noble and beautiful young womanhood.
Willet F. Cook. Canajohane, N. Y.
Hlinplv Immense.
The typloal American girl, as a rule, has a
pretty face, a perfect form, and, above all, a
very amiable disposition, which, combined
with a good taste for ilroRA. makes her equal,
if not superior, to the Goddess of Love her
self. In short, sho ib simply immense.
Oeorcie Cook, 410 Pearl etroet.
Hho I Industrious.
The description of an American girl is
easily given. She is generally very pretty and
lias.n good taste for dress and music.
She is very jollv and llkos all kinds
of amusanonts. Sho likes to eat candy and
rend nil kinds of novels. Sho treats all difll.
ctilties ns transient, theroby spreading that
lustre to joyousness which makes her so ex
tremely popular. To my mind the American
girl is very industrious nnd not atiald of
housework. So a girl whoso charactor Is
spotless nnd truo and whose hands aro ready
for honest labor is n truo American Ulrl.
Mns. A. Kobe, 23!) Tenth street, Brooklyn.
Ambitious nnd Kmnlntlve.
The American girl has been much
malignod, perhaps at tho same time over
rated. Her education has accrued to this
end. Flattered for her intrinsic quickness,
she has received an equal share of condemna
tion for tho very qualltie naturally grow
ing out ot this mental alertness. The typical
American girl is first of all athletic.; that she
is tall, goes without saying. She limy be,
and frequently is, pretty, but this bears no
relation to her success, which rather dopends
on a certain charm of manner, resulting
from supremo confident e in herself. She is
oufl rely iudiuerentto what people may think
of her, being fully persuaded in her own
mind that she is doing what sho ought to do,
or at least what she wants to do.
to her tho two aro synonymous. Her rost.
loss air is not dissatisfaction with her sur
rouudings, but due to a desire to explore in
all directions to reach a fuller life.
Edith M. Pollard, 14f3 Park avenue.
We Hhould He ClinrltnMc.
Thoro are as many varieties of the Ameri.
can girl as there- are girls in America. No
two aro precisely alike, and the avorage girl
is an enigma which will requiro inoro than
two hundred words to solve. No ono, unless
it bo hor mother, thoroughly understands
her, and in mue cases out ot ten Bhe is a mys
tery to herself. As she grows older.howover.
she undergoes a great change a sort of
unwinding process, nnd by the time she
attains womanhood aud becomes a wife and
mother tho enigma has entirely disappeared.
As American motherhood compaios favora
bly with that of other nationalities. I think
we should be a little more charitable towards
the American girl, nnd overlook her few
shortcomings, when wo realize that tho
American mother of the future is the Amer
ican girl of to-day. L. E. F.
From One Who Knows.
Having been duly influenced, smitten and
captured by an American girl, under whose
control I still remain. I think I can write,
with open eyes on this subject. The Ameri
can girl is a vhacious, soulful being, elastic
in stop, elegant n dress, romantic, yet prac
tical, whole-souled and sympathetic and
morry-hfarted. The foreigner sometimes
thinks she is too free, too butterfly-like, too
thoughtloss, but if he should attempt to treat
her indelicately he will be surprised at the un
derlying dignity nnd self-control manifested.
The social freedom of this country is well
adapted to bring out her charms nnd her
keen perception of human nature, and men
who are sn opt off their feet in their impulsive
love for her will be analyzed, sifted and dis
posed of in a skilful manner. Is it thought
that American girls are too idle? Somo
times, and etthey make elegant housekeep
ers and loving wives, who are the light and
joy of home. E. D. BAiiniTT. M. D.,

All Thnt In jlrntittfiil nnd Amlnble.
The typical American girl of the nineteenth
century, the modol of all that is beautiful,
modest, kind and loyal, is universally re
spootod end admired for her very numerous
and prominent virtues, llomarknbly bright
aud vivacious she 1b at all times and under
all circumstances generous and forgiving, and
is evor desirous to lend a helping hnnd to any
good cause if she bo possessed with the
means wherewith to do it. She is loyal to her
friends, her country nnd her own honest con.
victious, is always prepared to defend her
rights, and being well nware of the fnct that
tho best wny to secure those rights is to
respcot other people's, is never found wont,
nig in this latter particular. Hor boauty
commands tho admiration, nay, the envy, of
foreigners, and although sho is continually
the recipient of compliments in evory imagi
nable form she is, nevertheless, tho most
unassuming; person in existence. In shoft,
she is all that is beautiful and amiable and
really merits the respect and admiration that
is so constantly and universally bestowed
upon her. Mat,
Tier Health.
The beauty of the American girl is unsur
passed by any class of w omen on earth her
faco and form might have been cbisolled by
Phidias. Her eyes, whether blue, brown or
gray, are glorious. nr hair, ranging In oolor
from blonde to dark brown, Is well kept and
soft aj silk. Her teeth are like pearls, hor
lips like cherries, her smlln like sunlight.
She is well bred and well read; her conversn.
tion Intelligent and entertaining. Sho dresses
well and with good taste. Her chief faults
aro gum-chewing, an Inclination to flirt, and
a trivial, half-hearted manner this last, how
over, is assumed. On the wholo, she is a
irl to awaken man's admiration, to excito
Is fancy nnd touch his heart; to move him
with the nigh delight of honorable lovo and
animate him to noble endeavor ; and, in tho
wordB of Edward Coote Plnkney, I snv i
Her health! and would on earth thoro stood
Home more of such a frame.
That life might be all poetry.
And weariness a name.

The Amerlcnn Ulrl' Soliloquy.
I am a combination queer of natures paradox-
In matters that relate to faith, I'm no or hetor-
odox stall;
Hut as n type of shrinking, blushing, clinging
femininity,
I nover would ho mentlonod as tho orthodox
divinity.
Ihao studied Oreek and Latin In the classic
shades of Van-ar Hall;
1 can play a fugue from Handel, or can mako an
ant macassar shawl.
I am skilled in all accomplishments which so
delight the llritish men,
And coquette with all the graces of a doml-
moudo l'aristenne.
A schoolgirl I, yet matrons teach, as a lady
Presidential;
I commit no solecisms, yet I never am convon-
tlnnal.
The latest slang of music-halls from me but
smacks of piquancy;
The Innocence with which 'tis nscd atones for
all its frequency.
Too Independent I to lean on man's superiority;
In tonnis, yachting, riding I deny inferiority;
In baseball circles 1 cap swing with somo effect
the hickory,
Or trio the light fantastlo toe in honor of Terpsi
chore. Yet whon in fitting time I bear relations matrl-
mnnial
My truer woman's heart reoelves its fitting testi
monial. A noble wife, a mother truo of fearless maid
and merry man,
I am tho very modol of the typical American.

Alphabetically Considered.
The American girl, alphabetically de-
scribed, is Ambitious, Bewitching, Critical,
Dressy, Extravagant, Fond (of ice-cream,
chewing-gum. Ac), Genial, Handy, Inde-
Eenileut, Jolly. Kiud, Loving nnd Lovable,
lotherly. Naughty (sometimes), Observing
(especially of passers by). Patriotic Quizzi
cal, lteady (always for the great question),
Sly (like Judge Nellie illy. Thrifty, Un
equallod. Voluble. Wilful. X (symbolical of
their national " call" so often made upon tho
"old man"). Youthful (forever). Zealous
in all undertakings, whether in noblo deeds
of charity or in searching for the new bon
net. Totet.
The Waoda Are Full of Them.
We must not delude ourselves into tho idea
when speaking of the American girl that there
1b but one type of girl character in America.
If we understand the question, Properly it is :
What is the type of girl that will best meet
the true American idea of feminine charac
ter? It may bo told briefly. America is
synonymous with ' ' foremost," however ap
plied. The American girl, to meet tho re
sponsibilities of this driving nnd most won
derful of ages, must possess certain attributes.
Intellectual power, to share the honors with
her so-called superiors in the products of tho
mind; business capabilities, to enable her to
go into tho various branches of art and in
dustry and achieve success; refinement and
culturo, that she may adorn the highest sta
tions in the land and extend the hospitalities
of the Nation to the rulers and representn
ti es of other lands. Sho must be the truo,
devoted wife, the loving and careful mother,
the embodiment of all the graces that lend a
charm to the domestic circle and a loyal and
generous friend. Have we got her ? Aye,
' ' the woods are full of tbem."

in San Francisco, aud by a syndicate of them
in New York. Mr. Warry is thoroughly

Jlinnln Palmor's leading man, Mr, Roberts,

mofesty means that " Hubert I'.lsmoro " is a
success. If it had been a fniluro wo should
havo had at least two columns and a half of
ardent glorification, as in the case of " Sho."
which was a dead lsiluro to begin with, and,
likewise, " A Logal Wreck."

Walter Plough. Nolle Htapleton and Hottlo
Schultze, who is a sister of Lillian Itusstdl
(sisters of Lillian ltussoll, by the bye, aro
always cropping up). ' ' Katti " is to bo
played twelve weeks. It has bocn recon
structed (of courso) and made Into a musical
comedy.
E. T. HucKley has resigned from " The
Gold Mine " at the Fifth Avenuo. This is
extremely lucky for " The Gold Mine. " Mr.
Buckley had to impersonate an Irish member
of Parliament. Ho neither looked the part
nor actod it. Ho leaves the certainty of
"The Gold Mino " (in which there is un
doubtedly plenty of gold) for the uncertainty
of that speculation called " A Noblo Son,"
that frightened poor John A. Mackay almost
into his grave.
John A. Mackay. by tho bye, is still a prom,
enador on tho upper Rialto. Ho has grow n
a full beard which is red at the sides aud
white in the middle. Mr. Mackay was re
cently offered the part of the photographer in
" Dreams," but Tom Murphy is now to play
the part.
Think of this : A very pretty ghl, very
well known (no name shall be mentioned, so
don't try to guess it), was recently dismissed
from Bice's " Evangeline " company. Tho
reason of the dismissal was that she is
charged with having flirted with one of tho
gentlemen in the boxes. What do you think
of that, coming from one of liice's com
panies. But it appours that tho most strin
gent rules provoil in theso organizations. Not
a daimol is permitted to wear natural flowors
in her corsage because thoy are said to con
vey messages. Weird, isn't it ?

Charles Barnard, the author of "Tho
County Fair." now running ot Proctor's,
heard a performance the other night in which
"Tho Old Kentucky Home " was sung in
the corn-husking scone. Mr. Barnard was
vory much disturbed when he heard this. and
wanted to know why on earth New England
corn-huskers should indulgo iu Kentuckhn
songs. Tho woes of un author are terrible.
By.the-byo. it is not generally known that
Mr. Barnard wroto tho part now played by
Archlo Boyd for Donman Thompson, and
hoped to see Thompson and Burgess starring
togethor In bis play.
Miss Dorothy Dorr, who has just joined the
" Elsinero " company, was Da sy Dorr until
she became a member ot Dalv's organization.
' ' I cannot bill you as Daisy." said Mr. Duly.
" I don't admit tho ex stenco of such a
name. " Ho now sho is Dorothy.

Harrey went to MansfioliVs 'room in tho
Temple.
I A lamp was burning In the slttlne-room and
tho rays of the full moon flooded the bed
room where Manifield wa Irlntr.
All v.as still ; even the attendant, who
should havo been on the tatch, was asleep.
He awoke with n start as Harvoy closed the
door, and glared w ildly about him.
' What ails you, Jackson ?" said tho younp
dootor, shakine him by the shoulder,
"Nothing, sir; but you rbvo niearerrulftr
start. I have had a horrid dreum. sir, all
about binrits and lo Us, and I ttioucht at
first that you was ono of 'em when you camo
in,"
' Then you havo been to sleep ?"
"Yib sir, I must own to haviuc done so,"
replied tho man sheepishly; " but it is awful
monotonous wntchinu and waiting here, and
I was thinking of asking you to got somo ono
olso to take my place. To tell you the truth,
sir, this ain't a tit place for a Ohristian to bo
In."
"How. Jackson?"
' ' Well, sir," roplied Jackson, after somo
hesitation, duririB which ho looked cautiously
around the room ; "a most awful thing hap.
penod hero last night something which
makos my blood rnn cold to think of it. The
Colonel had a Visitor 1"
"ATUItor?"
" Yes, sir, if n devil with glaring eyas, big
yellow teeth and large bony bands oan be
called such. How he came in I don't know,
but oome in he did, and never before did I
have suoh a turn. He stood by the Colonel's
bedside, and watched him like a cat would a
mouse. He had a rope in his hand, and this
rope be put round the Colonel's neck; th6n
he opened the Colonel's white dress and felt

to satisfy him, for ho mado use of some words,
which, although I ddn'tundorstnnd,t.ouiuled

He appeared to be trying to wake the Colonel,
and whon he found it was no go bis language
was awful. And the expression on bis faco,
sir, was such as I havo never seen on that of
any man not ovon in pioturcs. To toll the
