The English chorus girls in Mr.. Carte'a
"Mikado" differ greatly from the men.
They are very much prettier off the stage
than on, and as they stalk up and down
Broadway-ss they do constantly when of
duty-they look very much like the pic
lures Of professional beauties in the En-
glish papers. They are fne-looking lot
Of young women-tall, clear.eyed, rudy
checked and fashionabiy clad according
to the prevailing mode across the water.
They seem to be having lots Of fun, but,
like all English women, they take it Sc
dately enough. One of them said, the
other night:
"Pm quite bewildered with it all. It's
80 very different and the hospitality of the
Americans quite takes one aback, you

men whGss names I did rot in the least
remember, though their faces were per
ieGtIy familiar. And we dined out-my
sister and with two others; and here I

little grin,) whats yours7"
"Eh? Oh. yes, Of Goursa-mine."
She thought It over for q abort time,
and then continued In Q confidential way
"Thers-Im quite sure shall remember
that"
And there you have it in word. The
English girls are popular because they are
80 extremely and sincerely ingenious.
