Sometimes girls grow a little bit
tired Of having, their dressing and
their doings discussed in the news-
papers 56 freely. They are lectured
on what they should wear and how
they should act until, if they paid at.
tention to all the advice they receive,
they wouldhave, little time to attend
to anything else. ' But, after all, all
'this attention is flattering .to the sex.
A newspaper writer -put it this way
recently. "The modern girl' is `news'.
What -she says and ,does is of interest
and is therefore' broadcasted." In
the same clads as Royalty, you see,
girls! The Prince of Wales'cannot
change his necktie 'without it being
noted. - All the modern girl needs to
do is to see that all this attention does
not "spoil" her.
Last week when hydro was taking
an Easter vacation people who use it
for light and other things had an op-
portunity . of experiencing again : the
