English and American Girls.
A writer in the C0rahtN lMat

A writer in the C0rahiW Mag-
aslae thus ventures:
| TO express the precise nature of
the difference between American
and English ladies is extremely
hard-it is something too subtle to
be represented by any combination
of epithets. You are sensible of q
sort OF charm which is wanting
here; you miss another charm which
Is present here; you do not know
which is more to be desired, but
you doubt the possibility of com
blnlng them. American girls are
certainly more Independent than
ours are; more accustomed to take
care of themselves, think for them
selves, decide for themselves; not
less really domestic in their hearts,
but less tied to their mothers apron
strings; franker in their speech,
and more ready to tell you about
themselves, their circumstances,
their families. There is kind of
French UerVe and force about them
but there is also a tuetonic truth
fulness. Then there is a nimble-
ness and versatility of the mind, as
well as self-possession of manner,
which puts stranger at his ease
from the first. Where an English
girl throws the weight of the con
versation on her partner, an Ameri-
can girl takes it up, draws him out,
perhaps chaffs him in genial fash
ion, and expresses her opinion
freely on all the topics that turn up.
English ladies OF the old school
would be apt to disapprove of her
on slight acquaintance. But when
they come to know her better, they
would perceive that she is, in essen
tial manners, decorous as we'll as
refined. American ladies who have
mixed in fashionable society in
London, may often be heard to say
that they are astonished at the
quantity of scandal they hear
talked there; and it is certainly
true that one hears very little in
America. In such places as New
York and Chicago there are, of
course, fast sets, just as there are
in London and Liverpool. But in
point Of purity and real moral ele-
walton, the best society in America
is possibly superior, and at any
rate equal to that ofsour own upper
classes; while the American middle
class is certainly more cultivated,
more interesting in the 'things of
the mind" than The commercial
class in England.

NOTWITHSTANDING the office Of
