THE PARIS FIGARO" GIVES TO
AMERICANS ALL THE
GLORY,

GLORY.
Stylish and pretty, independence
personiied, but very honest and pure
minded, is the American girl. She
adores pleasure, dress, luxury; shows
herself morally without concealment,
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 or that one, only to dismiss
him in the Spring, choosing immediate
ly 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 confidence without limit, and
an intimacy, in appearance, almost
conjugal.
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. Words, with
out deeds, she amuses herself with as
much as possible before marriage.
After marriage she has child every
year, passes all her days alone and her
evenings in listening to talk of bust
ness, mechanical inventions, farming
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
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 mary her unless she has
large fortune.
With reddish hair, paler than golden,
frank black eyes which neither droep
nor quail, and figure which it is i'm
possible to initiate, she lies back in a
carriage as if it were hammock; a
natural and easy pose, quite uncon-
scious of its vOluptuOusness. On foot
she steps along briskly and unconcern-
edly, her heels tapping the pavement
as she walks. Attracting many glances
she is yet much occupied with herself
and little with others. A plant from
the broad wilds, which, put in a mar
row space, and finding itself hemmed
in, stretches across the glass without
disquieting itself with the thin frosen
plants which vegetate around it, If
understood better 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 its 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 key board. Deli

There is prudish simplicity in the
