travelled through the United States for
eleven years, and know all phases of
society. The women here are very
much better informed than the English
women. American women possess n
certain grace and ease, what the French
; call chic, that you will not find even in
the highest English society. A servant
girl here will dress herself in a graceful,
natty way that an English duchess knows
i nothing about"

a his gloves are always too long at the
. fingers but when he goes down to the
r House of Commons prepared to make
t an important speech, he is always well
: brushed, his hair is oiled and he wears
G a flower in his button-hole. Mrs. Glad
D stone always revises him before he
e leaves home on important occasions.
