regular Yankee galV And now to consid CT briefly the influences of Yew-rope when brought to bear upon such nature and what is the result of 8 five or six wears, rest dence in England upon the mind of s., American woman. The first noticeable change in her is that she disowns and de spises her own country. She wishes to be thought English, or French or Italian-anv- thing rather than American. She carefully studies Der pronunciation of the English language, and she strives hard to eradicate from her memory the distressing nasal twanR with which she was once familiar: and though sine occasionally betrays her origin by placing wrong accents upon words such as
 inquiry for inquiry" and ''rowt" for route, she generally succeeds pretty well in her endeavor to talk English as the Eng fish themselves talk it. Her attempts fo master French and Italian are seldom crowned with the like success; she has not the least ldea ot accent, and the few sentences she ut ters while she is in Paris are certainly not Parisian any more than the orders which she issues to the covertly grinning walters at the hotel in Florence gre choice Tuscan By heritage she was always sself-opinionated, and Yew-rope has not improved her in this re- spect. She is too apt to consider that she alone, by means of her shrewd American or ganizetion, is able to quickly receive a joke or grasp an idea, and she does not take into consideration the fact that there is no being on earth more admirably constituted to per eeive the ludicrous side of her temperament and character than the quiet, simple, self possessed English lady who pays her a deco | IS afternoon call or the bluff Britisher, ion1, rom his stalwart height and breadth, tIohe I".1 VI keenly amused blue eyes into the -A.i15 oa. ones of the born American and as to .aoIesa girl, thinking to himself, knows sbe tbipsts @ 9 trifiing compliment he is to any woman that ,lnn Lllahe sne wife, she all the while feeh tJ tbot he must be falling desperately IT.

She has gathered in a great CT amount of surface knowledge than she ! knows what ts do with, and she chatters away about everything with surprising volur Dility and equally surprising incorrectness. She takes her opinions on the topics of the day from the tone adopted by her favorite daily paper weekly journal, for her thoughts do not go deep enough to permit her to form any real original opinions of her own. She is ''up'' to everything you can straightway she raves about the classical nothing else will suit her raptures-and she falls into ecstasies over the names of Chuck Beethoven and Schumann, knowing noth- ing whatever of their different styles and structures of composition Talk of pie
