Girls And The Newspapers.

If girls only knew it, there is nothing which makes them more admirable in the
sight of the world in general and their gentlemen friends in particular than a
thorough knowledge of the current news of the day. The girl who is "well
informed" is always a more pleasant conversationalist and a more congenial
companion in every way than the society young lady who, in her ignorance and in
sipidity, can talk of nothing deeper than the condition of the weather and the
latest French novel. There is a complete education in the newspapers of today. 
In this assertion we do not mean to include every thing in the newspapers, for
in every common daily or weekly of this age there a certain vicious element
which should be omitted, but taking that part of the pater which is instructive,
the articles relating to moral, political and material condition of the nations,
the progress and influence of science, etc., there is really a valuable field of
information. A young lady need not be conceited or pedantic to show her
knowledge of these matter for without any ostentastious display of learning she
will in every expression of thought, and her general opinions on all subjects of
every kind show her natural intelligence and wisdom. A young lady need not think
she is going "out of her sphere" when she discusses the great topics of the day
with other ladies, or even gentlemen, provided she understands her subject and
does not display conceited ignorance instead of unassuming intelligence.
