AMERICAN AND ENGLISH W0MEN.-The
contrast between the manners of American
and English women in the street is very no.
ticeable; 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 linn
Der ankles give them an elegance and
springiness at once graceful and captivating.
Their heads are set more elegantly upon their
shoulders, and their Sirdle is more trim, and
the bust less redundant. The full, well de-
veloped American woman is much hand
], saper object at forty than an English
{ woman. hut VIC have fewer of them; while
the majority of English women are fat ard
fair at forty. We have more beautiful
women atsixty than the English, because
the latter blooms out into luxuriant cab
bages or sumptuous peOnies at that age,
while their atlantic sisters will often
'sretain a,lovely complexion, an elastic step,
and De quite spi,tale15a- and attractive at
sixty. IF grand old women, of the Hecuba
stamp, grave, calm, Sybilline, such as might
do the heart Of Michael Angelo good, are
ever to be found anywhere, we must look at
hume for them. Dr. -s..crYa.qsta slg, E9y
{ xOasnE, I remember, I = was walking in
tile sffeetSf E6htifpFMhen saw two young
girls ahead of nie-fighfssty, pretty girls,
who tossed their heads and fnsfeed their feet,
sta tr,t
the sober English women, whose .staid
movements would never subject them to OH
servation. Suddenly the girls rushed for
ward and threw their arms around the neck
of a third, half smotliering her with hugs
and kisses. People stood and looked on in
dignant; American p passed from mouth
to mouth, and stout English matrons red
dened with outraged decorum the police
hurried up in CONSERVATION; Z 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 demonstration By no means; and
to be sure the SIZE or whatever it may be
that demands anexternal dignity, as reflex
from within. There is more of comfort,
more of SOULFUL content always in the pres
ence of a large woman than in that of
little One.--M y SAM tH 7ao9 isi1fn ii
