should he the first fine day, for this is
the ladies day of the carnival. To-
night they are t. show the New York
ers what unimaginel splendor there is

The ladies are the chief features.
This od-fashioned granite, snow
blOckaded town is novel to stranger.
The sleighs and furs, the French
stores. the European customs, and the
wint,r sports these are all odd and
interesting but it is the ladies that
attract the most attention. Baltimore
must take a back seat and BROOKLYN
must abdicate in favor of the greater
and more varied beauty OF Montreal
girls. There are two sorts of beauty,
as there are two kinds OF gir!s-the
English Canadian and the French
Canadian. The Eng ish Canadians
are beautiful rather thar pretty. The
French girls are captivatingly pretty.
Look at a type of each:
The English Girl is tall, and strong
ly built. She walks with her figure
rigidly erect and her head held up,
from consciousness of strength rather
than from pride. Her cheeks are like
the sides of a peach that has just be-
gun to ripen. The rose blush blends
with the pink, that is in turn lost in
the general creamy tint of the whole
face. Waves of faxen or light brown
hair is pulled into cloud that pro-
iects beyond her sealskln cap. She
mas big deep blue eyes. eloquent of
good health and good nature, and
blazing at touch of excitement. B.
ing an athlete, she is model of good
health. aud the equal of her brothers
at the dinner table. Her nose and
Mouth are not too fashionably small.
They match her fine stature. and the
healthv, graceful carriage that tell of
stout limbs and developed muscles. |

bring their daughters up indoors like
hot house plants, for fear they will |
not be ladylike aud womanly These

these words are written they are scud-
