Oe ee ee ee THE GIRL OF TO-DAY: 1s she eeroerrrrroeee A wtit-contessed bachelor ranes the question in a bis repugnance toward her modern sister emorkable ie bvening World reade een PAE OAKEES Do you think the modern girl has made good? Do you approve her dress, behavior, accomplish- ments and ideals? Does she compare favorably with the girl of a gen- eration or two ago? If you are a man, do you admire the girl of to-day enough to marry her? If you are a woman, do you consider her the sort of girl you’d like your daughter to be? If you are a girl, are you reasonably satisfied with yourself and your friends? By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Is the girl of to-day a success? Is the girl of to-day a failure? That is the dual question raised in a remarkable letter written by John E. Sherrill jr. of Colorado Springs, a self-confessed bachelor, It 1s a question which I want the girls and men who read The Evening World to answer, and I shall be glad to print their replies. First of all, I think they will be interested in reading Mr, Sherrill's letter, in which he utters a passionate plaint for the girl of bygone days, and a passionate protest against her modern sister, Here is what he has to say—and what have you to say to it? “IT am old-fashioned enough to think that the old- fashioned girl—the one who was content to preside ness—is a better girl, as compared with the up-to-date, office-going, man- competing one who is willing to give up her home privileges for the sake of the few dollars she gets in busines of “The erstwhile customary air decorous tranquillity does not seem]! me wherein you think the girl of to-day succeeds or fail ade the atmosphere when! y moni nn nowodaya, They used| Personally, I find myself in com- women gather nowodaya. lete disagreement with Mr. Sherrill ‘ eronely sugh lite, and| to guide us seren' by Lr pedaries ‘their| to the essential inferiority of the few if ill padlbtee inauence;. but “office-going, man-competing girl who subtle, a He NS wel anged forever?) !# Willing to give up her home privi- now—has al} this cha |leges for the sake of the few dollars What is to become of woman's mys-) S#® b t | resistlesa charms, her great| She gets in business.” The chief aptniiuat 100 upon which mere| “Rome privilege" of a girl who has | lere school consists of waiting to get married She ts also permitted, In our best suburban homes, to arrange the flowers for the dining room, to play the piano for father after din- ner, and to wheedie a dress allowance man depended so much?

Is the girl of to-day superior or inferior to the old-fashioned «irl in the choice of clothes and of com- piextons? Lest you think that all the criticism of the modern young woman ts man- made, I am giving you to-day, besides Mr. Sherrill’a letter, one which I r ved recently from “A Business Girl” She doesn't place ail the blame on her own sex, but she quite obviously considers that the girl of to-day isa failure, She writes: A LUGUBRIOUS VIEW OF THE MODERN GIRL.
