ure, dress, luxury; shows herself moral
ly without cOncealment, such as she is, in
a manner to deceive no one; knows she is
attractive, and loves to attract without
committing herself. Flirts all the winter
with this one or that one, only to dismiss
him in the spring, choosing Immediately
another. Her resources are capital which
never lies idle. She goes out alone; she
travels alone; or, when il suits her better,
with a male friend, with a confidence
without limit, and an intimacy in appear

The one thus elected is allowed to de-
scribe his feelings, and to speak Of his
love from morning. till night; but it 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. Alter marriage she has
a child every year, passes all her days
alone and her evenings in listening to talk
OF business, mechanical inventions, farm
ing concerns, or the like.
She leaves her daughters to enjoy the
liberty which she herself has enjoyed
without grave abuse. Since nothing seri-
Gus happened to her, why should Mary,
Fannie, or Jennie he less strong or less
able to meet any emergency?
In one sense she has created the Paris
fashions. Parisians detest her, provin-
cials despise her; yet men Of all nations
are bewitched with her, though they do
not marry her unless she has large for

There is a prudish simplicity in the ar

nay enter there. To allow even her best
friend to see so much as the pillow on
which she sleeps! Oh, no! Shocking! Alb

OF her marriage, but the slave of duty,
she prepares herself from a child to be a
good wife and mother. She chooses her

the matter, for in England the old maid is
not an object of contempt. She has her
own place in society, aud if ANYTHING is
lacking to her she alone is aware of it. !
She hunts, rides horseback, and occupies
herself with music, literature and politics.
She always wishes to know all about a
woman, but is not so critical in regard to |
men, NlrtuOus by principle and temper
ament she does not permit the thought of
eVil-dOing to rest in her mind The daugh-

daughter of peasant is guided by her
conscience and follows a straight path.
Her mind IS serious and sentimental !

The Spanish: \ perfect Creole. A child

'Sensiblities before her mind was formed.
There has been no time to breathe to her
word of love, yet her eyes speak it al
ready. She dances, sleeps, and fans her.
self. Eats little, cup of chocolate and
a cake smelling of roses suffice for her
breakfast. She sups on serenaGe.
She wears short dresses, pretty stock
ings, and slippers or shoes without heels;
passes her days in looking out of the win
dow when the balcony fails or is forbidden
her; is very ignorant, never reads, and
much less writes. Desires to be married,
not from calculation or ambition, but SIM
ply because a natural instinct makes her
understand, even before she has ceased to
Jump rope, that a husband is an indispen-
sable thing.
The German: Romantic and sensual. /
With her love enters first into the brain,
then descends to the heart. A pale blonde: /
she has the beauty of youth with spice /
of the wicked one about it, and acts in
manner that ought to please him. Her
eyes look very modest, because she hides
them under the lowered lashes. Loves
men in general and always one in particu-
lar.
A rigid Lutheran, she is very severe on
the sins of others, but settles her own Gil
rectIy with Heaven. She receives cOrdi-
ally in the morning friends of whom she
has spoken I'll the night before. Has an
air OF being scandaliZed at this or that; il
is a defense against others severe judg-
ments of her. Loves study and music and
occupies herself with pleasure in the de-
tails of housekeeping. Whatever her
origin, she is above all born housewife.
She has beautiful face and form, which,
however. quickly deteriOrates.
The Italian: Hate in her heart; love in
her ewes. The pride Of a great lady with
a sordid nature. Loves money and plea
sure. UnsuDmissiye, idle, passionate.
Ambitious, vet serYile if her interests re-
quire it She has an attractive person
and knows how to dress herself in a ma

ranges her hair with pin, and adOrns
herself with pearl. Her voice which has
discords when she speaks, becomes har-

WAYS marries an Italian, and does not
seek strangers till after marriage. Credu-
Ious and superstitiOus, she believes in
omens and bad signs. fearing the evil eye,
two knives crossed, and the point Of a
straw.
She has a luxurious chamber, splendid
" adorned with paintings, statues, mosa-
les, and fine chandeliers. The bed is
work of art, the satin curtains are held up
by little Cupids apparently at play. They
would be hard to satisfy if they were not
content with their surroundings.
The Russian: She is beautiful, intelli-
gent, and Indifferent To the opinion of the
world. Promises herself many admirers.
