TYPES OF WOMEN.
The Paris "Firago'' Gives TO Americans
all the Glory.

sonified, but very honest pure mind
ed. is the American girl. She adores
pleasure, dress, luxury; shows herself
morally without concealment, such as
she is, in a manner to deceive no one;
knows she is attractive, and loves to at
tract without committing herself.
Flirts all the winter with this one or
that one, only to dismiss him in the
spring, choosing Immediately another.
Her are capital which never
lies idle. She goes out alene; she ira
wells alone; or, when it suits her better,
with a male friend, with a confidence
without limit, and an intimacy, In APP
pearance, almost conjugal.
The one thus elected is allowed to de-
scribe his feelings, and to speak of his
love from morning until night: but is
not permitted to him to kiss even the
tips of her fingers. Words without
deeds, she amuses herself with as much
as possible before marriage. After mar
riage she has a child every year, passes
all her days alono and her evenings in
listening to talk of business, mechanical
inventions, farming concerns or tho
like.
She leaves her daughters to enjoy the
liberty which she herself has enjoyed
without grave abuse. Since nothing
serious happened to her why should

or less able to meet any emergency?
In one sense she has created the Paris
fashions. Parisians detest her, provin-
Gals despise her; yet men of all nations
are bewitched with her, though they do
not marry her unless she has q large
fortune.
With reddish hair, paler than golden,
frank black eyes which neither droop
nor quail, and a figure which it is i'm
possible to initiate, she lies back in o
carriage as if it were a hammock; a mat
ural and easy pose, quite unconscious of
its righteousness. On foot she steps
along briskly and unconcernedly, her
heels tapping the pavement as she
walks. Attracting many glances she is
yet much occupied with herself and lit
tie with others. A plant from the broad
wilds, which, put In a narrow space, and
finding itself hemmed In, stretches
across the grass without disquieting it
self with the thin frozen plants which
vegetate around it. III understood bet
ter and criticised less this young girl
would be more truly estimated at her
Just value.
THE ENGLISH.
An adorable face, which, In the full
glare Of day seems as though In moon
light, so pale and transparent is the col
oring. Large eyes, frank yet modest,
with long lashes. Little teeth which
lengthen perceptibly growing like grass
in the country, until at twenty-five they
suggest q key board. Delicate and
without pronounced figure when young,
later enormously stout or dried up. AL
most invariably hideous at forty. Ex-
tremely exact in small matters, a model
of ~neatness.
There is a prudish simplicity in the
arrangement of her chamber, which is on
ly q place for sleeping and bathing. No
one may enter there. To ALLOW ven her
estfriend to see so mnch as the pillow
OH which she sleepsl Oh, no! S~hockingl
Absolute mistress of her actions. to the
day of her marriage, but the slave of
duty, she prepares herself from q child
to be q good wife and mother. She
chooses her own husband, her parents
are not occupied with nor trouble them
selves about the matter. for in England
the old maid is not an object of ON
tempt. She has her own place in soci-
ETY., and, if anything is lacking to her,
she alone is aware of it. She hunts,
rides horseback, occupies herself with
music, literature and politics.
She always wishes to know all about
woman, but is not so critical In regard
to men. virtuous by principle and
temperament, she does not permit the
thought of evil doing to rest in her
mind. The daughter of a nobleman is
under the safeguard of hereditary or
personal pride; the daughter Of q peas
ant is guided by her conscience and fol-
lows q straight path.
Her mind is serious and sentimental.
She awaits a young lord who is travel
ing around the world, or an officer who
is in India. She will marry him on his
return if he be unfaithful she will re-
greet isim all her life, Under her white
hairs passion will never be extinguished
and the tears Of love will still run be-
hind the glasses Of her ~spectacles. The
object Of her regrets may become ugly,
fat, common, drink more than he ought;
hut she viii always see him as he wasat
twenty. When she comes to Paris she
has her dresses made by our celebrated
costumers; but the English sharpness
Of outline shows its angles through the
softest Of materials, fiattens plaits, puffs,
etc. and miss is only a knife dressed
