TYPES OF WOMEN.
The Traits OF Girls OF All Nations De-
scribed.
Stylish and pretty, independence per
sonitied, but very honest and pure
minded, is the American Girl. She
adores pleasure, dress, luxury; shows
herself morally without concealment
such az she is, in a manner 10 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 on.
alone; she travels alone; or, when it
suits her better, with a male friend
with a confidence without limit, aud an
intimacy, in appearance, almost con-
jugal.
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 10 kiss even the
tips Of her fingers. After marriage
She passes all her days alone and her
evenings i'll 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
strong or less able to meet any emer-
gencyP
In one sense she has created the
Paris fashions. Parisians detest her,
proyincials despise her, yet men of all
nations are bewitched with her, though
they do not marry her unless she has a
large fortune.
With reddish hair, paler than COL
den, frank black eyes which neither
droop nor quail, and figure which it
is impossible 10 initiate, she lies back
in carriage as if it were hammock;
a natural and easy pose. quite uncon-
scipus OF its voluptuousness. On foot
she steps along briskly and unconccrn-
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
narrow space and finding itself
hemmed in, stretches across the glass
without disquieting itself with the thin
frozen plants which yegetate around
it, Ii understood better and criticised
less, this young girl would be more
truly estimated at her just value.
TIE ENGLISH.
An adorable face, which in the full
glare of day seems as though in the
moonlight, 50 pale and transparent in
its coloring. Large eyes, frank vet
modest, with long lashes Little teeth
which lengthen perceptibly, growing
like grass in the country, until at %
they suggest a keyboard. Delicate and
without pronounced figure when YOUNG,
later enormously stout or dried up.
Almost invariably hideous at 40. Ex-
trcme,y exact in small matters,
model of neatness.
There is prudish simplicity in the
arrangement of her chamber, which is
only place for sleeping and bathing.
No one may enter there. To allow
even her best friend to see 50 much as
the pillow on which she sleeps. On,
no! Shocking! Absolute mistress of
her actions to the day OF her marriage,
but the slave of duty. she prepares her
self from a child to be a good wife and
mother She chooses her own hus-
band; her parents are not occupied
with nor trouble themselves about the
matter, for in England the old maid is
not an object of contempt She has
her own place in society, and, if any
thing is lacking TO her, she alone is
aware of it. She hunts, rides horse
back, and occupies herself with music,
literature and politics.
She always wants to know all about
a woman, but is not critical in regard
to men. Virtuous by principle and
she does not permit the
of eyil-doing to rest in her
mind. The daughter OF nobleman is
under the safeguard of hereditary or
personal pride; the daughter of a peas
ant is guided by her conscience and
follows q straight path.
Her mind is serious and sentimental.
She waits young lord who is travei-
ing around the world, or an officer VINO
is in India. She will marry him on his
return if he comes back without being
married. Ii he is unfaithful she will
regret him all her life. Under her
white hairs passion will never be eX-
tinguished and the tears of love will
still run behind the glasses of her spec
tacles. The object of her regrets may
become ugly, fat, common, drink more
than be ought, but she will always see
him as he was st 20. When she comes
to Paris she has her dresses made by
our celebrated costumers; but the Eng
lish sharpness of outline shows its
angles through the softest of materials,
t1attens, plaits, puffs, etc. and Miss
is only knife dressed up, surmounted
by a veil of gauze, whica floats above
her head like the flag of a ship at the
summit of her great mast.

The sun which makes the orange trees I

and cake smelling of roses sutlices
for her breakfast. She sups on sere- I
