OUR AMERICAN GIRLS. 
BERTHA A. ZEDI WINKLER. 
Since national characteristics are nowhere 
in such a medley as here, it seems a matter of 
keen discernment to distinguish them. In the 
North they are trying hard to preserve their 
identity in the social admixture. Westward, 
they have transposed their pioneer work from 
the native wilderness to the inpouring of foreign 
rudeness. Southward, they are still behind 
the curtains dreaming of the chivalry that 
5vas—in former dreams. And in the East, 
with the memory of old England’s aggression 
they observe a strict exclusiveness. Unlike 
and independent of each other as they are in 
genera]. there is a primal impulse, inherited 
from their ax-shouldering tore-fathers; and a 
common principle, inhaled with the smoked 
battle-fields, which distinguishes our American 
girls from all others. They are most demon¬ 
stratively the daughters and the sisters of 
their people when the reputation of that 
people is in jeopardy. The Americans are a 
large aud scattered family; estrangements and 
bud habits will creep between. But if they do ele¬ 
vate them noses at each other occasionally, one 
may be sure it is only among themselves. Just 
let an outsider venture to elevate his nose aud 
individual pots are lost in the common affront. 
Among themselves their respective localities 
form the christening-font for various appella¬ 
tions. Among foreigners they are Americans, 
every one of them, inside and out. No matter 
how eastern thrift may clash with southern 
indolence; no matter if friend sobriety wear 
a Pennsylvania quaker-bonnet, and allows a 
breach of politeness on mens heads; or MLsg 
Highlife shines in a Washington reception, 
dress which invites douotfully scented breaths 
to fan shoulders. 5vhile bare heads and covered 
hands meet the requirements of etiquette 
their national oneness is maintained above all 
differences. The European eye has but to dare to 
jook critical and our fair New Englander's ex¬ 
clusiveness at once covers the whole country’s 
birth, even the “shiftless” South; and are 
within the charmed radius of America’s inner, 
most; what girl don’t call upon her innermost, 
her deepest principle, to worthily maintain her 
place among our American girls. 
Let no one imagine it only a matter of re¬ 
sidence to be ranked among them. It is not 
America, but forces and qualities which 
created an independent union that makes an 
American. Go-ahead-iveness is the kernel of 
Americanism. Our girls prove it no less than 
our box’s. Their whole history is one of effort 
• aud achievement. From the time they first 
loaded their brother’s guns and fired an 
occasional shot themselves on the frontier, to 
the time when their modest rap at college 
portals shook professional spectacles with ap¬ 
prehension for the gentleman, and their 
appearances created a ripple on the industrial 
river as they stopped in for more than only 
taking in washing for a living, it is an un¬ 
broken record of go-ahead-ism as successful 
and beneficial to humanity as the first axe in 
the wilderness and the first gun at Lexing¬ 
ton. 
Our American gilds will start on a prom 
enade or a life-path alone, sooner than lose an 
hour or a life-time waiting for a proper 
escort. The European girls, if they work at 
all. work from necessity, and to prove their 
ability to the man that may come. Our 
American girls work from impulse, aud 
to prove their independence of the man 
that may not come. Ready for any 
fate but captivity, dishonor, and help¬ 
lessness, is it a wonder that Parisians dis¬ 
tinguish by their ivalk, an American whom 
English stiffness fails to impress and German 
royalty to awe i 
We make this last assertion in the teeth of 
their reputed weakness for foreign aristocracy, 
because wo know that Mi's. Grundy gives 
enrreucy to more than she can account for. 
The case is just this; Inquiry is the fore¬ 
runner of all prudent advance. An Ameri¬ 
can's eyes always go ahead of his go ahead-ism. 
They go to see because thex want to go. They 
don’t have to go to Europe to see European 
working-stuff—that is coming over by the 
ship-load at their invitation. So they go to see 
the mountains that can't come and the
