The Quiet Girl

Tbc quiot girl never wears high collais on the street; yon do not see her flaunt ng iu brilliant plaids when they happen to be in the stylo; when high hals are "in" sho does not pile hers so high that it sweeps the cobwebs froni the sky; sho doos not wenr an exaggerated bang when the bang is in vogno, nor the biggest bustle in town, nor the longest train to hor tea-gown. nor the greatest aambei of baugles when bangles roign. But becanse she does not chatter and giggle and make herself oonspicuous iu horse cars, doos not annouuce her convictions on all occasions and all siibjecls, and profesa her admiration at every hand's turn, it must not be supposed that she has no ideas, no convictions, or enthusiasms; that she moves along like a star in the heavens, which obeys the laws of gravitation without selectinc: its course or objectlng to its orbit She is quiet because she has no power to make herself heard, to change her conditions, or because she is maturing that power. In the mnantime it s the quiet girl who mamen earliest, who makes the best match, who n'lls tho niche wliich her more brilliant sister leaves vacant, who managO8 the servunts, runs the sewing machine, remombers the birthdays, listens to the reminisences of the oíd, and oflen keeps tho wolf froni the door. -
