Those Eastern country girls haven't time to just think of getting married, as ‘the “City Girl” stated in last night's paper, as she is kept busy at home during her spare time after school hours, and her mother is her only companion, not all the neighboring chiJdren. She is sent to schools which are as well equipped as the! average city school of today, and when she is ready for high| school, we find her always} | keeping up with her classes,) W so, “Miss City Girl,” we can’t! gay the country girl is alto- gether ignorant. ? 1 shall give an example of one country gir! | knew and the average Bastern country gir! is just Uke her /Thie particular country girl gradu } i from high school amd the uni B patty seven s.

If the writer of that letter lived &s she said she did, in the country for eight years, I am sure she has discovered an all together new type ef country girl. | Having lived in the country and/ the city both long enough to got a pretty fair idea of the way of both, Tam glad to say that I have never seen any as she describes In speaking of “pals,” I noticed that in several country conmnunitios the boys found as good pals in the girla as they in them, which was certainly trua In fact, thelr fri ship always seemed mort innocent land helpful. Nor have I seen any| difference in this friendship to that |of the young people of the city. As far aa the simplicity and honesty of the enjoyment of the entertainments, | |i would enjoy taking the writer of |that critical letter #ome Saturday | afternoon to a country home of which I know, and if she were not lconvinced before she returned on | Sunday, that you could have just as jolly good timen in the country as tn |the city, tt would not be the fault loft the country spirit, nor myself, but ldue, perhaps, more to the contrari-| [ness of the guest. | As for the-elty girts, who tric | their hair only on the front and sides, |i think that some of them do a pretty good work of spreading it jover the remainder. But to be fair:| |if a girt's hair is straight and hard} to manage, it is ber own business if she choones to wave it However, a country gut ts far too busy with interesting thingy outside herseif to frim or paint, as this writer mys, Dut Instead dresses as jsimpty and easily as she can, and | sti look well, | Then, too, one must remember that | the country no longer consists of the | backward, {lliterate people, as we) read in stories from which some get thetr ideas, but, on jare quite wideawnke to changes of i each mason, and drems ac cordingly.
