we agree in one thing with our critic.
If all the American girls who have
become or intend to become English
wives get the fashion Of exacting
from men here the universal
homage paid in their w coun-
try to the Sex they will certainly i'm
prove our anner For all unpre.
iudiced observers admit that herein
Englishmen lack distinction. They
greet their young lady friends with
as. much freedom and ease rs if they
were their male comrades. II is
the inevitable error Of a nation
where the leaders Of society ate
devotees Of country life and lovers
of all kinds of manliness and sport.
These things, good in themselves,
bring with them corresponding
defects.
What the American girl may be-
come in the future nobody can tell.
At present her destiny seems superb.
Her father finds silver, strikes oil,
kills pigs by the million, or raises
corn by the square mile. She is
pretty, can talk well, does not know
what Difference or diffidtnce means,
and enters Europe full OF money.

has French mobiles, Italian Princes,

told-maI riayo does not seem to the

Whether we call it a virtue or a fault,
size can do without it. Is it thai she
disdains "the love of man and woman
when they love the best" or is she
too bright and good for human ma.

her l'fr-from men, that is. From

Her social success indicates not less
than genius. 81 enius is MOI too large
a word the social qualities Of these
Incompatible c0untry-wOmen Of Ours
cannot be summed up i'll any term
less ample and comprehensive. One
of the direct results of the presence of
so many American wives in English
Society is to make it l%ivelier. This
may seem u bold thing for an Ameri-
can to say, but am, in fact, only
quoting what l hive heard the Eng
fish themselves say, and say often. AS
the word is ambiguous. | will use it
in the good sense only" The writer
goes on to observe that she may
teach English girls to hold their heads
higher, and not Stoop in taste and
talk 10 the level of the men. Fornot
long ago 1.-THE manageable young man
of the period showed less and less
inclination for marriage, less and less
~ncIinatIon for the society Of the
marriageahle young woman. He
avoided opportunities of meeting her.
He made it a favour to go TO a ball,
and a still greater favour to dance
when he got there. AS he would not
conform to their tastes, they conform
ed to his tastes. They adopted his
slang, they initiated his habits. The
talk of the turf, of the hunting field,
Of the stable and the kennel, ONE
times even of the smoking room, was
TO be heard from pretty young lips.
Therefore it was that the manners of
this generation Of ''smart" young
Englishmen deteriorated. Nobody
denies that they have deteriorated.
1t is not the mems fault, or not alto,
gether their fault" The American
girl, it is implied, "will chnnge all
that" and young men must bow down
before their new queens. 1t is admit
ed, however, that our fair kinswomen
may gain something. ''For, with all
its shortcomings, English society is
admirable. Such a body OF settled
opinion on social subjects, such q
code of social law, such numbers of
well-bred men and women, so many
delightful houses in town and coun-
try, such OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES else are
they to be found? 1t is not possible
that all this should not influence the
fair American who enters these open
doors. It does influence her. The
American is, perhaps, ut her best here.
She has gathered honey from the
gardens of two continents"
The lights and shades ofthis sketch
are skiltully composed, and our critic
has had, no doubt, very far oppor'"-
mites OF observation. But he is mot
native nor to the manner born" and
he misses the significance OF some
social characteristics. For instance,
he hears girls talking with young
men of ''the Turf, of the hunting
field, of the stable and kennel,

ale to her familiar hnunts, for there
she has f~our-footed favourites and
pets. She can drive and ride well,
and to do both she requires Tot only
nerve but knowledge. Then when
needfuI, she can tramp through muddy
or snow-clad lanes in boots 50 thick
that they would drive IL Saratoga
belle into Mysteries. All this tends
no doubt to make her strong, healthy,
vigorous, and to a certain extent,
"racy of the soil" Therefore when
an English girl talks with her male
friends of hunting, of horses, OF dogs,
and even of racing, her interest is not
always affected nor is her knowledge
assumed. She very often likes these
topics the mscIves. If we compare
her in "A salon with a Frenchwoman
of the old regime who knew life and
had learned from society and nOvellstS
a thousand intricacirs ofintimacy be-
tween lovers and friends, the English
girl seems less intellectual and in one
way less spiritual. She has not so
many mental %fancies nor 50 many
morbid imaginings; she is honest,
straightforward, trust worthy, direct
sometimes "of the earth, earthly" no
doubt, bat very often, we are glad to
say, a true woman n mother
and wife at her best "when pain
and sickness wiring the brow"
The American girl does not talk of
hunting or Of horses and dogs,
for a very good reason-she knows
nothing about them. She has lived
IN a whirI Of gaiety from New work
or Boston to Saratoga or some other
place of summer resort, and she talks
what the men around her Ike-poll-
ties or dollars and cents. No doubt
she feels as honest an interest in these
subjects as the English girl in that
with which she has been familiar
from childhood, and 1t would be as
unjust to say that she takes them up
to catch a husband as it is to imply
that all our country maidens merely
affect their interest in horses and
dogs. The early life of each natural
Iy colours conversation that is the
sufficient explanation of The difference.
In one thing, we admit, America is be-
yOnd us. Woman there has asserted
herself, ana her influence is felt
throughout the Republic. Scores OF
professions closed here by law or
custom are there open to the sex.
They act as solicitors, sometimes
plead rs advocates, manage stores,
run newspapers, and write three
fourths of the cheap novels. Their
supremacy makes itself felt in hotels
and theatres, and son the cars" No
mar disputes their claim to the best
seats, whether filled or not by an
inferior male creature. They have
shown, too, that they a "receive,'
travel, and live without chaperons,
escorts, or husbands, and they are

Fashion Notes.

Plain killed skirts without
any drapery are very fashiona,
BILE, and their first cousin in
style, the accordion skirt, will
in all probability be more worn
than any other style during the

Sashes are all the rage and
no woman, no matter what her
age, who can possibly have one,
considers her wardrobe COM

an old person look younger,

The Pigs Pulse in his Tail.

An authority on pigs says
that he never thinks of cutting
off the tails of his pigs. The
tails are the indicators of the
pOrker's condition. If piggy
doesn't feed well, if his food
doesn't agree with him his tail
begins to straighten. The sick
er the pig the straighter the
tail, and the healthier the pig
the tighter the curl. The cd
theory tina! it takes a buahel of
corn to fatten an inch of tail
the pig raiser scorns. The pigs
tail is his pulse, therefore never
cut it off.-Omaha Herald.
