"IDEAL GIRL" COMPETITION.

.The ideal young girl should be neither a blue-stocking nor a housekeeping fanatic, says a Frenchman in an" 'Excelsior 1 competition. She should combine the qualities of mother, friend, and sister, says another reader. She should not be too intelligent. She should have read Nietzsche, but ought not to mention it; should be able to play a melody of Schumann without studying it for six months; to make cushions for bazaars, and, if necessary, to darn socks.
