If the fact of getting everything one
wishes for constitutes cause for thanks
giving, then the American girl should
be the most contented of mortals. The
emancipation of women, that hackney

to l.c fettered by the tyrant man. falls
flat in America for want of. a suitable

imprinting the charming tinge of ro

the center of the stage on Thursday
next, competing for supremacy as
queen of the festival with that other
glorious institution of Thanksgiving—
the turkey gobbler.
A good place to view her at her best
will be from the sidewalk of any
smooth-paved street of our cities, or
from the pathways of macadamized
country roads. Here, in the nattiest
and newest of bicycle rigs, she will be
seen, with her cheeks aglow, her bright
eyes sparkling, her pretty hair dancing
merrily in the wind, bowling along
a-wheel at a pace that surely has noth
ing in common with chains or fetters,
unless it be the bicycle chain that en
ables her to challenge the wind to a
trial of speed and beat the old flirt in
a canter. The manner in which the
American girl has taken advantage of
this glorious sport bears ample testi
mony to the fact that when she wants
a thing she will have it and knows
how to take the fullest advantage of
what is hers by right. If the shades
of the dear old grandmothers of the
days of wheel and distaff could return
to earth next Thursday and gather
along the highways and byways where
laughing, chaffing, free and happy col
umns of wheel women fly by, they will
surely return to the land of shadows
with feelings of regret that their lot
was not cast in an era when women
find more healthful means of employ
ing their time than the laborious and
confining duties of the old-fashioned
home life. That th- change is vastly
for the better even i»k ost disgrun
tled and cross-grained critic of the up
to-date womanhood will admit. In
stead of the pale-faced, narrow-chested
woman of the wheel and distaff era, the
spectator who chooses a front seat to
view the passing show r of Thanksgiving
day '97 will see a long procession of
rosy-cheeked, lithe-limbed, happy,
THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1897.
healthy and wholesome specimens of
femininity that speak contentment In
every action.
Vicing for honors with the bicycle
girl of Thanksgiving day, '97, is that
sport-loving sister of hers who dotes
on the touzled-headed heroes of the
football field. Wherever the muscular
giants of the gridiron meet to fight inch
by inch toward the coveted goal, bruis
ing and battering each other ln the
Interests of the famous game whose
season ends next Thursday, there will
be heard the music of shrill cheers from
fair throats; there will be seen the
waving of flags held In neatly-gloved
hands, and the enthusiastic applause
of the hosts of feminine admirers that
will pack the grand stands and shout
for the glory of the American sport. No
football scene in the country will be
1897.
complete without the American girl
to cheer the contending heroes on to
victory. What matters it how the game
goes? Is it not recompense enough for
those who must swallow the bitter dose
of defeat that sweethearts and sisters
who have watched them straining ev
ery nerve and muscle for hours in a
vain effort to win stand ready to sym
pathize with and cheer the broken
spirited losers as well as to congratu
late the winners. For the sake of the
bright eyes that watch the struggling
and mud-begrimed contestants on the
football fields of Thanksgiving day '97,
each man will summon up every ounce
of reserve force in his muscular frame
and fight for the mastery with the
same spirit that prompted the knights
of old to couch lance, clap spurs to
steed and dash on for fame and his
lady's guerdon. It is for the sake of
the American girl that bruises will be
counted as naught and blood-flowing
gloried in on the football field next
Thursday. True, there are some who
entertain the mistaken notion that the
honor of college or club is the fore
most incentive to victory, but those
who don the padded suit and fight for
glory on the football field know bet
ter. A point gained on the gridiron
means a point gained in the anxious
heart of the bright-eyed spectator on
the grand stand; a run down the field
in the face of fierce opposition is made
because the athlete who carries the
ball knows that he carries with it the
hopes and fears of one of the fur-clad
onlookers who has eyes in the game
for him alone; a kick that sends the
oval soaring gloriously through space
in the direction of the coveted posts is
accompanied by a feeling of joyful an
ticipate because the owner of the foot
knows that Bomewhere among the
crowd of spectators one pair of eyes
watches the progress of the ball with
a fluttering heart. What nonsense to
think that the perspiring heroes strug
gle for the supremacy of their college.
They run and tackle and kick and
bleed for the honor of the American
girl who has their hearts in keeping,
and no one knows it better than she.
But if the American girl will shine
where healthful sport is the programme
she will positively glow around the
festive board and ln the social circles
next Thursday. The thought of a fes
tival without her is too gloomy a pros
pect to be entertained. If the frost
brightened features of the out-door girl
have their peculiar charm there is an-
other and an especial attractiveness
surrounding the indoor girl who, daint
ily attired in shimmering loveliness
presides at the Thanksgiving tabic and
adds grace and beauty to the home.
Compared to her the Thanksgiving
bird is a sorry delusion in spite of the
hold he has on the hearts of the citi
zens. If the American girl has herself
cause for thankfulness, It is a small
matter in comparison with the grati
tude r that should be entertained by the
male half of -humanity towards the
shaper of our destinies that she is with
us to heighten the brightness of the
day. She ls a worthy theme for poets
and a fitting topic for the orators of
the day. Let poets summon the muse
and orators tax their vocabulary to
the utmost, and do full justice to a
worthy subject— the Thanksgiving day
girl of 1897.
Poets and orators, however, must not
be allowed to monopolize the Thanks
giving day girl. Has she not come
to the front in art so that her male
competitors are beginning to fear for
their laurels? Then what so fitting
as that the best artists of America
should take their drawing boards, and
portray indelibly their idea of the
American girl.
The idea has been taken up with vim
and enthusiasm by the artists as the
accompanying illustration will show.
No one will question the truth of the
statement that it is the finest thing
ln newspaper Illustration ever printed
in this city or state. Each type of girl
was drawn by a leading newspaper
illustrator, and, with such a subject
for their pen it is not to be wondered
at that the artists have surpassed
themselves. This galaxy of the ideal
of American artists who have protray
ed the American girl, showing her in
characteristic poses, ls worthy of chief
place among the national tributes of
tbe day. Like the eubject, it is beau
tiful, it is natural, it is 'jtraffectedly be
witching. But the American girl needs
no art to add to her attractiveness,
and no artist to contend for her right
to flrst place In the hearts of the peo
ple of America. She has all that and
a good deal more, and every one is
glad that It is so.
