A Frenchnan is the most delicate and
persistent OF suitors.n said Marie Hslton,
the Franco-American opera boufie singer,
IN an interview, to a reporter. Repel his
advances and he redouhles his attentions

orally increase in size and beauty. Not all
at once, mind you. He does nothing TO
create surprise and put the object of his
sentimental attack ON the qui viye. Your
true Frenchman is an artist in love as in
every thing else. The bouquet increases in
size almost imperoeptibly day by day, and
delicate attentions of all kinds which serve
to soften the peryerSe heart of woman
are multiplied after the same careful and
mathematical fashion. The amount of
time Frenchman viii give TO the besieg-
ing of citadel is, in itself. the most deli
cate compliment he can pay TO the object
of his devotion. And il is for this reason
that Frenchmen are usually successful in
their love affairs. Men who at first ac-
quaintanee are positively distastefIh sue
coed in mingling their personality after
time so thoroughly with a multitude of
pleasing attentions that the first unfavor-
able impressions are altogether obliterated.
The American, on the other hand,
carries into bis love-Inaking the ideas
which have proved successful in his bust
ness. Ills chief object seems TO be 20 save
time. He measures his success IN love not
so much by what he captures as the time
he has expended in winning victory. He
is in the habit OF taking everything for
granted, and, what is worse, plainly shows
in his manner that he does SO. No woman
wants man to think that she is easily
won. and no mode of proceeding could be
more impolitie. The american is intro
duced to lady, and in half an hour ex-
poets to be treated like a lifelong friend.
