A Lively Actress Reveals Some Interest
ing Points on the Subject.
From the New York World.
GA Frenchman is the most delicate
and persistent of suitors, says Marie
Halton, the Franco American opera
boutfe singer in recent interview.
"Repel his advances and he redOu bles
his attentions. II you treat him coolly
his bouquets gradually 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 qua UiUe. Your true Frenchman
is an artist in love as in everything else.
The bouquet increases in size almost
i'm erceptiblv day by day, and delicate
attentions of all kinds which serve to
soften the perverse heart of woman
are multiplied after the same careful
and mathematical fashion. The amount
of time a Frenchman will give to the
besieglng of citadel is, in itself, the
most delicate compliment he can pay to
the object of his devotion. And it is
for this reason that Frenchmen are usu-
ally successful in their affairs. Men
who at first acquaintance are positively
distasteful succeed in mlngling their
personality after time so thoroughly
with a multitude of pleasant attentions
that the first unfavorable impressions
are altogether obliterated.
THE American, on the other hand,
carries into his love making the ideas
which have proven successful in his
business. His chief object seems to be
to save time. He measures his success
in love not so much bv what he cap
lures as the time he has expended in
winning a 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 impolitic The American is
introduced to a lady and In half an hour
expects to be treated like lifelong
friend. / believe the: in your Ameri-
can GA of poker what you call bluff
ing is very ordinary mode of pro-
cedure. AS | understand it 'bluffing'
is an attemrt to convince your oppo-
nent shat you have a mortgage on IL
the cards in the pack worth having and
you really have nothing. That illus
trates my point perfectly. An Ameri-
can carries the game of biua into his
wnoing. He practically says: Il hold
all the VI ming cars. and when I get
ready Will simply lean over and collar
the pot And he says this with a con-
tident air highly exasperatipg to his op-
pOnent, who, OF course, in this case,
happens to be the lady.
''In the matter of presents, the
American is also very different from
the Frenchman. He is more lavish
than the FrenchmSn is, and often gen.
erous to extravaganza. But he shows
little or no discretion. A Frenchman is
introduced to a lady upon whom he is
DESTROYS of making a good impression.
The next day he sends her bouquet of
choice flowers and the next box of
borbons. It may be weeks af er the
introduction before he will make call,
and the diamond stage rs reached only
after months OF mountaineering
When an American meets q lady he de-
sires to win he will call the following
day and bring a diamond brooch or
bracelet The day following he will
send a gland piano or anything else
which happens TO strike his fancy.
Should ne receive no encouragement
from the lady OF his choice, he does not,
as in the case of the Frenchman, con-
tinue sending presents until his per-
sistence cOmpels recognition. He SIM
ply transfers his attentions to some 9TH
er quarter.
1.-The difference between a French
man and an Englishman may be seen by
the way each looks at wo an on
horseback. A Frenchman looks first
of all at the woman; an Engl1shman
first of all at the horse. The American
looks at both together"
