A Boy’s Essay on Girls.

Girls is grate on making believe. She will make believe adoll is a live baby. She will make believe she is orful sweet on another girl or a feller if they come to see her, a'id when they are gone she will say, “Horrid old thing!” If you do what a girl tells you she says your horrid. I drather be horrid than be soft. If you do what a girl tells you you will d# all sorts of foolish things. Girls can be good in school every day if they feel like it. I shud think they would git tired, and have to do sumthing .wonse in a while; I know a feller does. Girls say fellers act orfull, but when a girl gets a-going it, she acts order than any feller durst. They don’t care ror nuthing. If a|girl wants a feller to carry her books home, she ain’t satisfied unless she gits the same feller the other girls want whether she likes him or not Girls is great on having secrets—l mean, telling secrets. They make a secret out of nothing at all, and tell it around to all the girls, orful quiet, just as if it was sumthing dredful. I bleeve a girl likes to make b.eeve they are doing sumthing dredful. Girls always gits their joggerfy lessons better than a feller; fjut if they are going anywhere, they don’t know their way a bit and they are sure to get lost. If a girl don’t feel like doing a thing, you can’t make her, no matter whether she had orterornot If she wou’t she won’t, and she will git out of it somehow. That is all I kiiow about girls this time.—Home ueen.
