THE AMERICAN CIRL.
True Type Shown n Prtjr Woman At
tractively Irailel.
The renl typical American girl Is not
t society girl. Portraits typifying her
is such are untrue. Klin bus her social
ilversions; she has her parties and
picnics and her social merry -go-round
)f pleasure, but they are not her life,
:hey are mere Incidents of her life, for
ser life is work. Of course, there are
firls who hr.vo nothing to do but to
iniuse theimvlvcs year in nnd year
ut. Pictures oi these gil ls, with their
tind, In festive gear. In full dress, In
folf-clothes nr.d In yaclitiiu rigs are
!oiibtles typical of the class. Hut
die entire class does not number one
lunilred thousand nuiong seventy mil
lion people, and member of this lets
are class nre merely tiles on the wheel.
Typical Americans must be drnwn In
(heir working-clothes If the drawings
represent the type. So the typical
American girl will not be found In her
party dress, though she wears it be
Niniirgly nnd with real grace when
I ho occasion demands, but rather she
will be found In her working-clothes.
In her working-clothes be they of the
kitchen, tho fiictory, the shop, the of
fice, the l.oaseliold or the school-room
she Is ns renl ns (lod Intended her to
oe. Hut mark you, even then the chief
point ubout her Is that she knows how
lo wer.r her frocks, knows how to dress
tastefully nt a smnll expenditure, and
that whatever her work, she Is nt pains
and Is nmhllloits to make herself look
well. And she succeeds. Whatever
her station, you will be pretty sure to
find a girl worth looking nt. Tho true
type of Hip American girl will always
how a pretty, young woman attract
ively dressed.
The typical American girl, then. Is
one who Is charming and good-looking,
who lives In the spirit of fruternlty
and who works for a living. But In
this connection the word "living" does
not menu "bonrd and keep." It means
living in the bro.n'ist sense of th-'
word growing, n.s'l"ing, becoming.
The American girl who works with her
linnds does so only that she may rise
to better condition of soul and mind
and heart. It Is not the bread-iiml-but-ter
problem thnt Is mnklng a wage
earner of the American girl. Fathers
and brothers can take care of thut. It
is the soul problem how to live; how
to get nil the best out of civilization;
how to grow In grnce. Young men are
not the only beings who shnll "see
visions." The Aincrlenn girl nlso sees
visions, and she is fired with nn am
bition ns resbtless as her brother's.

The rago for lace continues. Yak
lace, made of tine wool In all the new
shades, is much used, as nre Tetieriffe,
Spanish silk lace, Mexican, Cluny and
antique luces of all descriptions. All
kinds of laces are worn together, and
black and white or coffee color and
white luce nre used to trim the same
gown. Pilot luce Is also culled upon to
do service oji our summer gowns.
Cloth Is used in all sorts of curious
ways. Fir instance, luce, grenadine,
and the lightest fabrics nre strapped
with cloth. It Is nlso used for under
skirts; and embroidered cloth blouses
nre n novelty.
Foundations nre made separate from
the skirts, and a skeleton silk bodice Is
needed for slip blouses, Inasmuch as
uiuuy of our bodices have become slip
blouses In themselves.
The deep collars in lawn or luee nre
as fashionable ns ever, and they ure

ttnniity nail Amlnl'lllty,
Despite some opinions to the con
trary, it is apparent to observant eyes
that many girls who are possessed of
a good share of physical charm do not
exhibit that niuiubillly nml kindliness
it spirit which nre qualities possessed
by the plainer girl.
There in a certain amount of pride,
verging on haughtiness, which. In the
beauty, seems' to be an obstacle to affa
bility. They rely on their good looks
for their success with women us well
ns with men, and they do not take it
Into consideration thut anything more
Is expected of them than to luok pretty
and cluiriu tho eye, writes Mrs. M. I
Bean, in American Queen. They nre
also apt to nssiune nn nttltude of con
descension toward others and all on
the strength of their superior looks.
Tho plain girl, knowing thut she has
no personal beauty to depend upon for
popularity, cultivates an amiable nnd
iffnble nature, thus nppeuliug to others
In a more 'real and permanent way.
Beauty Is truly hut skin deep, but a
beautiful nature will. In the ions; run,
win more friends true, las! lug friends
than all the flushing eyes und pearly
teeth In the world.
In Justica to pretty girls, however, It
cannot be denied thnt there are some'
as amiable a they are pretty, but this
is not the role, by any means. There
nre others who ure reully amiable, but
who make no effort to exhibit the fact,
ncept ou cer.alu occasions. These filri
put themselves In a false Itjtflt and
cause others to believe them lacking
in n quality which they the beauties
do not think It worth while tu ex
hibit. In order to be popular and beloved,
a girl should exhibit her natural affa
bility to the opposite sex nt nil times.
A man will. In time, tire of mere good
looks nnd will realize in the merely
pretty the luck of something deeper
and more Instlng. These qualities the
plainer girl posseses to her own more
permanent popularity.

French women, though they may get

A t'spfnl Dumb-Walter.
It Is very hard to keep perishable

The food Is commonly kept in tho cel
lar, making many back-aching trips up
nnd down stairs. A little narrow dumb-
wniter, fn-h as Is shown In tho cut,
could be made by any one bandy with
tools, nnd the steps it will save will bo
countless. Such n dumb-waiter is so
light It can bo raised with a finger. It
is Just largo enough to bold a plate, or
pitcher, cn a shelf, and is bung with
window pulleys and cords. It can of

A newly-laid floor ma7 be rubbed
smooth by rubbing eocu board with a
handful of medium coarse steel wool,
to ba had at a painters' supply store.
The filler may be purchased or mads

One-half pint of flake white, half a
pint of whiting, one pint of boiled lin

Painted, varnished and oiled floors
may bo cleaned with crude petroleum.
Hub the boards with a woolen cloth
lipped in the petroleum and close tho
room for n few hours. Then with n
clean woolen cloth mounted on n floor
brush rub tho floor hard. This both
polishes nnd removes tho superfluous
oil, which is necessary.

Waxed floors should be (lusted with
ti soft cloth or dust mop. Dirt snots

moves the wax, so It Is necessary to go

For dark wood a quart each of
boiled Unseed oil and turpentine and n
pint of whiting are required. One ta
