TYPES OF WOMEN.
The Paris Figaro" Gives la Bell
Americeine all the Glory
Translation by Philadelphia Press.


Stylish and pretty, independence
personifed, but very honest and pure
minded, is the American girl. She
adores pleasure, dress. luxury; shows
herself morally without cOnceaiment,
such as she is, in manner to deceive
no one knows she is attractive, and
loves TO attract without committing
herself. Flirts all the winter with
this 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 it suits her
better, with a male friend, with a
confidence without limit and an in
timacy, in appearance, almost conjug-
al.
The one thus elected is allowed to
describe 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. Alter mar
riage she 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 en-
joyed without grave abuse. Since
nothing serious happened to her, why
should Mary, Fannie or Jennie be
less strong or less able to meet any
emergency?
In one sense she has created the
Paris fashions Parisians detest her
provincials despise her, yet men of all
nations are bewitched with her,
though they do not marry her unless
she has large fortune.
With reddish hair, paler than gold
en-, frank black eyes. with neither
droop nor quail. and a figure which it
is impossible to initiate, she lies back
in a carriage as if it were hammock
"a natural and easy pose, quite I'M
conscious Gifts voluptuousness On
foot she steps along briskIy and I'M
concernedly, her heels tapping the
pavement as she walks. Attracting
many chances, she is yet much occu-
pied with herself and little with
others. A plant from the broad
wilds, which, put in narrow space
and finding itself hemmed in, stretch
ed across the grass without disquiet-
ing itself with the thin frozIi plants
which vegetate around it. Is under
stood better and criticised less, this
young girl would be more truly esti-
mated at her just value.
THE ENGLISH.
An adorable face, which, In the
full glare of day seems as though in
moonlight, SO pale and transparent in
its coloring. Large eyes, frank yet
modest, with long lashes. Little
teeth which lengthen perceptihly,
growing like grass in the country, un-
til at % they suggest keyboard
Delicate and without pronounced fig
ure when young, later enormously
stout or dried up. Almost invariably
hideous at 40. Extremely exact in
small matters, a model of neatness.
There is prudish simplicity in the
arrangement of her chambe which is

No one may enter there. To allow
even her best friends to see SO much

of her actions to the day of her mar
riage, but the slave of duty, she pre-
pares herself from a child TO be a good |
wife and mother. She chooses her
own husband her parents are not oc-
cupied with nor trouble themselves
about the matter, for in Eogland the |
old maid is not an object Of contempt. |
She has her own place in society, and, |
if anything is lacking to her, she alone
is aware Of it. She hunts, rides horse

literature and politics.
She always wishes to know all
about a woman, but is not so critical
