THE NEW HEROINE OF PACT AND FICTION

Une could hardly expect the demare faltering and the nine bentbentury ready-to-laint, flutterings of the young ladies of Jane Austen and Miss Mitford in the present age of bare backs and buck answers.

The heroine of yesterday was often a sweet but quite expressionless being, but ber succesor: to-day has ideas of her own and can express them. She does not re gard picturesque slang as "unladylike os repartee as hardly proper." Yester day's heroina, if a being of flesh and blood, tried hard to disguise it, but, tre day's heroine is more of a healthy animal. Imagine what Cranford would have said of a delightful young girl driving a powerful motor-car and picking up off cers at the War Office and driving them off anywhere and everywhere. In a day when the hero would never dare licht a cigarette in the heroine's presence, what would they have thought of the modern beroine who whiprout a silver cigarette case or paper packet of gaspers and offers them to the men

* MODERY 'SLANG.

The vocabulary, too, of the heroine of to-day is robust. It is often strange and terrible. What would they havo_thought of it in those Victorian days" when it was wrong to mention the simple garment, then only mentioned as unmentionables f There is something to be said for a gea- atins that dares, without a tremor, to

voice the dreadful word trousers"

She may be a chain smoker, a robust talker, *-She may live in a bachelor fat. motor along the road, ör fly in the air, work in farmi or factory in breches, and refuse to faint ny a swear word or a mouse, or a proposal. She may do many things they didn't do ab Cranford, but the girl of 1520 has some thing in common with the girl of 1850 or of 1990. For all per changes she has & beurt. She can say, adapting Shakes peare's words, I am a woman, therefore to be wooed I am a woman, therefore to be won,

So, both in fiction and in fact, after the war as before it the best thing in the girl is the woman.

This early Victorian girl with the faded rose-leave and the yellowing love-letters and the lacy sentimient: do we want her back? No.

Suent: do we want hers.

We have a girl to-day, unchanged from the days when Wordsworth described her Bs Not too bright and good for human nature's daily food... yet something of in angel?

The best thing that can be said about the Heart and mind of a woman to-day is in the French phrase.

The more it changes the more, it is the same thing," which is not quite so absurd as it sounds.
