Every pleasant afternoon the processions of school girls may be seen swinging along Fifth avenae from Fourteenth to Fifty-nint- h street They are pupils in the various private academics along that route, and thoir outing is in accordance with the latest accepted method of physical exercise. They are all robust and rosy cheeked girls, and they walk in a manner that invariably excites the admiration of that patriarch of pedestrians, Edward Payson Weston, when bo happens to see them. Low heels and broad soles to the shoes, their hands on their hips, heads erect, mouths closed, nostrils dilated and eyes sparkling, they form pictures which go far toward contradicting the oft told tale that New York girls, even those at school, are affected with ennui of the worst type. There are usually a dozen of these high spirited girls in each party, and they are accompanied by one or more teachers who, although advanced in years, are usually fine, superb specimens of perfect American womanhood.
