THE FRENCH GIRL.
Tho discussion with 'regard' to tho ideal girl continues. ' The ."■well-known ■ novelist "Gyp," author of VC.hiffon's Marriage," holds noivery high opinion of modern French youth. Sho writes practically to tho effect that in "her young days" matters wero otherwise. She lias no admiration whatovcr. for tho professional girl—bo : sho oven a sick nurso. ' :
M. Alfred Capus, tho playwright, says tho ideal girl is simply the ono who will grow into a good wifo and a good moflier. Tho remainder of thoso interviewed have no very definito views on a question which, after all, ought never to have been asked with the intention of establishing the characteristics of tho modern': French jounc fille. The answers prove that a precise typo does not oxist in France, as in tho United States, where girls havo onjoyed a siniilar degreo of independence and similar privileges for many years past, whoreos' Franco is just now undergoing a transition as :far as women's social position is concorned,' the result of which cannot be forosoen yet.
