THE FAVOURITE GIRL
There is the type of girl that everybody likes. Nobody can tell exactly why, but after you have met her you turn away to some other woman and you say, “Don’t you like Miss Grosvenor?” Now, the reason you like her is a subtle one; without knowing all about her, you feel just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who is not “too bright and too good” to be able to find joy and pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the fact that she cannot always have the first choice of everything in the world. She is the girl who is not aggressive, and does not find joy in inciting aggressive people. She is the girl who has tact enough not to say the very thing that will cause the skeleton in her friend’s closet to rattlo his bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds no fault with the weather. She is the girl who, when you invite her to any place, compliments you ly looking her best. She is the girl who makes this world a pleasant place, because she is so pleasant herself. And, by-tlie-by, when you come to think of it, isn’t she the girl who makes you feel she likes you, and therefore you like her?
