LARGEST CLASSIN THE HISTORY OF “NEW BRITAIN (Continued 'from Tenth Page.) terday there are still moonlit gardens and sweet singing guitars. So these duaint girls are very nappy in the manner of their own land. But there are a few girls who have heard the startling news -that the Orjent .is three hundred years behind the rest .of the world. - Straightway they -have spread-the-news, .and in a few years may it not be possible that these same girls who now live in the lapd of vesterday wili push ahead, with characteristic Orientaf thorough- ness, file.into step with the American girl, and march side by side with her in a campaign to changée China and Japan from lands of & yesterday to great ones of today ¥ There is 4n old tale of how one of the most beautiful ot Carthaginian queéns caused ‘an immense funefal pile to be erected when the' Romans were at the gates of her city, and all her soldiers were slain. Then calling together her maids, and the princesses of royalty, with them, sne mounted ard set fire to the pyre, then ran a dagger through her heart, rather than iet the Romans boast that Cartha- genfan girls and a Carthaginian queen hd /been’ draggéd through Rome's sireets in triumphant procession of victory. Is it any wonder then, that with such an example of flerce pride und courage in one of the world's most beautiful. women the’ men of Carthage, and Greece and Rome should fight . their way to greatness over every abstacle, and give so much to.the world as they have given? Of such a type was the Girl of, Yesterday in Carthage and Greece and Rome, even as this queen, countng' life as nothing towards national homor and patriotism. Perhaps the Girl of Today does not e what a part education is play- ing in broadening her view of life. To the Girl of Yesterday learning would have been the most excnlng rastime imaginable. Strange as may seem, the French girl grew tlred of her music, dancing, gossipping, and flirting: grew tired of the shallowness of ;the life she led. The Spanish girl feund it a monotonous pastime won- dering whether a scarlet or a canary Yellow would be most becoming for the next court ball dress, or whether | the would appear fairest of all in the eyes of a certain daring young soldier Just home from the wars. The Ger- man girl imagined that it would be tar more pleasant to ' read all wonderful tales that peopte had said were found in some very precious tooks in the cities, than to crocret the,i “And some_root beer extract— Yes, }.Villiams ad Because Williams’ has the true flavor made from the same herbs and roots that made the hagge brews of olden time so whole- some and delicious.

But, education was considered most harmful for girlg, during the past cen- turies in Europe, €6 the European girl of yesterday could not .ever hope to learn those lessons which would have made her life broader ana more worth while. In England, however;, it was nat- ural that boys and girls should have received almost equal educational ad- vantages. Though quick to grasp this learning these girls did not dare to act any differently from the way in which they 'had been trained. Could you imagine anything more shocking than for an English girl of the seventeenth century, to re- fuse to acept as a lover ohe of whom her family approved? ' Dou you think that girl would have been considered spirited in upholding her right of se- lection, or would the matrons of the village shake their heads and whis- per that the gir]l ought to be kept on bread and water for 'a week, until she realized how very light-headed young girls seem at times? Or if a girl of the eighteenth century should have cast sidelong glances, in church, at a straight young farmer lad across the aisle, instead of modestly keep- ing her eyes averted do you think that folks would belleve. that she fwas re- ligious?. .Or if a little maid . grew tired, one day of being grown up, and romped around a green English mea- dow land, would not folks say that she was too childish, and. it would pay her better to patch another quilt for the winter weather that would come again in a few months? The American Girl of . Yesterday wag much like her BEnglish cousin. The Quaker and Shaker girls in their sober dresses of dull grey, were taught to regulate their actions to their dress There were no gay quilting parties for them, no corn huskings nor apple-parings such as the later New England girl enjoyed. But New England was a land of pro- gressiveness and this girl of yester- day showed many signs of being a girl of today. But still, there was a considerable stretch of untravelled Irn-d before this girl became a girl ] of today Before she who sat at one end of a fireplace to entertain, with i the aid of her family, a young man seated at the other extremity and half hidden from her view, became the girl of the twentieth century who can, in two minutes time reduce a staid, conceited’ young man, of conde- scended mien to a blushing stammer- ing eondition of confusionso great that his “colldr seems to be gripping him with chockihg hands that he needs must put out of the way Although not posséssing the self- | confidence of the Girl of Today, vet, Hart, Schaffner: & Manx.

We hold a strong feeling of regard for the brave Puritan girl with her white cap and collar and cuffs. We all love equally as well, the Girl of 1830, With her dainty, full-skirted dress her wide, droopins, flower-ladened hat with gay stream- ers that tied under her proud little dimpled chin, her silk half mitts, and it you look close enough, a coquettish little black patch pasted on her rosy cheek. But isn't the Girl of Today re- markably like this winsome girl, this Girl of 1830, a favorite in all Amer- jcan Yesterdays? Doesn't she often wear a dainty full-skirted dress with litle puffed sleeves of silk? Haen't she’ a wide, droping, flower-ladened hat with gay streamers perhaps tied under. her chin? Hasn't she rosy cheeks and dimples too? So really there is no diffefence In these girls, The Girl of Yesterday and of Today. And if you like the Girl of Yesterda: then you needs must like . the other equally well And if you love the Girl of Today then must you love the Girll of Yesterday for they are both just the same—just simply girls!
