ABIT OF AMERICAN WISDOM
The greatest kindness that one can do for
all other American women when one is
abroad is to try and convince foreign man.

women on the other side who do not have
to go out TO seek husbands but who stay at
nome and refuse TO &C ept many who are
offered, eligible though they NAV be- II is
natural for them TO Judge all by the one
type. and until you have seen it you caunot

FRENCH IGNORANCE ABOUT AMERICA.
Although this is the end of the ninet ,enth
century, and travelling around the world is
not difficult, you will yet find people even in
Paris who think an American is first couS n
to a red Indian; who believe that we never
get anything good except when we come
here, and that we live in q barbarous state
all the rest of the year; who have an idea
that when we want an afternoons recrea-
ton we ride over to Salt Lake City and
take tea with the Mormons, and who think
that If we are as decently hammered as we
seem to be it is because there were
some Frenchmen sent over here
when the country WIS in its early
youth. Funny, isn't it, When you start
out with not very much money in your
purse and you are bringing things home to
everybody, don't be hegulled into doing
your shopping here. You can get the most
fascinating OF fans, the dalutleSt OF purses,
but for most everything else you get better
worth for your money in London. This is
little spoonful of experience offered to the
general woman.
POINTS FOR AMERICAN WOMEN.
| wish the American woman would learn
to put on her frJcks liks the French woman.
To walk as well as does the English
W man.
To have as good an idea of her husbands
financial condition as the Frenchwoman.
To be as good a hostess at dinner party
as an English woman.
To talk as well and yet tell as little as tho
Frenchwoman.
To have as ardent respect for the pow
ers to be as does the Englishwoman.
To be as devoted a mother as is the
Frenchwoman.
And yet, after all, if had to winter and
summer with anybody-and wintering and
sumnernR is a test Of what they really are
i should say give me the American, for
she is generous where the Frelchwoman is
calculating. She is independent where the
Englishwoman is servile. and she is consid-
crate and affectonate without a thought of
what she will gain from it. BAB
