AMERICAN AND ENGLISH WOMEN.

The contrast between the manners of
American and English women in the street
is very noticeable; and abroad our manners
are looked upon with no little distrust if not
apprehension In the first place American
women average as tall as the English, but
the former are more elastic and slender in
their proportions; their small feet and lin
Der ankles give them an elegance and spring
iness at once graceful and captivating. Their
heads sit more elegantly upon their should
ers, and their girdle is more trim and the
bust less redundant. The full, well-devel-
oped American woman is much handsomer
object at forty than an English woman, but
we have fewer of them; while the majority
of English women are fat and fair at forty
We have more beautiful women at sixty than
the English, because the latter bloom out
into luxuriant cabbages or sumptuous peo-
nies at that age, while their transatlantic
sisters viii often retain a lovely complexion,
an elastic step, and be quite spirttuelSe and
attractive at sixty, If grand old women, of
the Hecuba stamp, grave, calm, Sybilline,
such as might do the heart of a Michael An
gelo good, are ever to be found anywhere,
we must look at home for them.
One day, remember, | was walking in
the streets Of London when saw two young
girls ahead of me-light, airy, pretty girls,
who tossed their heads and minced their feet
wonderously, and quite to the displeasure of
the sober English women, whose staid move
ments would never subject them to observa-
ton. Suddenly the girls rushed forward and
threw their arms around the neck of third,
half smothering her with hugs and kisses.
People stood and looked on indignant;
'Americansl" passed frUu niUuth u mouth,
and stout English matrons Redeemed with
outraged decorum; the police hurried up in
CONSERVATION; but the girls had created
their little sensation, and passed on demure
as kittens. Now these were the little
women. Do you suppose that full-sized
woman would have been guilty of such a
demonstration By no means; and to be
sure the size, or whatever it may be that de-
mands an external dignity, as a reflex from
within. There is more of comfort, more of
soul full content always in the presence of a
large woman than in that Of little one -
