WHAT AN OBSERVER SAYS OF THEIR
BEAUTY AND ATTRACTVENES

/ A greater number of American women
are here now than have ever seen before
! at this Atheus ON the Spree. Ii Is fairly
conceded that there is more of what IS
called Chisclled beauty in America than
| in Europe German ladies, in general ele-
gance of bearing and beauty ani grace Of
+ person, can bear no comparison to AmerI-
/ can women. The features of the latter
are finer and their heads more classical
| But here ends their triumph Their busts
| are inferior to those OF the native women
and a certain attenuation in the whole fig
! ure of the American women gives the idea
Of frugality and decay What the Ameri-
can women want is soundness of constitu-
tion. Their finely faces are too often
pale instead of fair. and sallow when II they
should be rosy. But why are many of
the German women 80 awkward? Why
have they such large feet. and why is
their taste in dress not better, beautiful
COmpleNlous and full forms can not atone
for these DEFICIENCIES, nor can thoroughly

the house, consequently they are less
troubled with shyness than German ch il
dren. A German girl of Is or Il is much
less independent than an American girl
of the same age. She must never 90 out
alone nor without chaperone or u female
servant, usually known As bOnne She
must never Sp ak To a gentleman, unless
he should be especially introduced 10 her
by her parents, or with the appreciation
of her parents. Yet the German children
are generally overindulged and spoiled
by their parents Every one in the house
is expected 10 yield to them. They are
ragely reproved for crying, nor is self
denial or self-restraint seriously incul-
Gated. Servants are reproyed for not

induce them to fancy themselves the
most important persons in the house.
