rhs American Girl Abroad

"An American" writes to the Pail
Mall Gazette thus:
The American girl abroad is au in.
teresting national triae which cannot be
overlooked in the consideration of the
subject before us. Occupying social
position quite unknown in Great Britain
or on the Continent, welding in one way
or another an almost despotio power
over those around her. and accustomed
to control in many things from the
cradle up. she is a creature peculiar to
herself 10 Europe. She has led to more
misunderstanding than any other one
triAe, perhaps, on which the English aud
American people disagree. Neither the
parting of the hair nor the word guess,
not even her own little American nose,
which pushes itself everywhere and
assists her to speak the language, nor
the less aggressive noses Of her fellow
countrymen, can be compared with her
self as disturbing element between the
nations. If a patriots motto is, MY
country, right or wreng" it is also. my

unintentionslly-to put forward the

American girl in general. American
gentlemen, writer's and others, have
come to the defense Of their yonuR
countrywomen with an equal want Of
discrimination, showing a spirit border.

times Of better cause.
The American girl is purposely--noi

possible restrictions. She is allowed q

Except few young female savsgeE
among some tribes OF the Polynesian
