HOW FRENcHMEN REGARD WOMEN.

The Frenchman is openly and honestly proud
of ''the other woman.' Where an Englishman
gloats over his horses the Frenchman does over
his chsre annie. That she should be the best
dressed, that her equipage should attract the
most attention as she drives around the lake,
and that she should be known as under his pro-
lection is his delight. Oddly enough, although
she doesn't say So his wife occasionally takes
pride in this. No wonder everything is quoted
as SIN de siecle.'' A bright man told me the
other night, apropos of women all over the
world, that if he wanted a companion he should
seek an American, if a wife an Englishwoman,
and if a mother a Frenchwoman. Certainly
they are good mothers, and the love existing be-
tween mother and child is invariably strong,
while the Frenchman's belief in the rights of
mother is shown in the way laws are framed
with due regard for parental opinion.
AMERICANS IN PARIS
Americans? Yes they are here The ones
seeking social recognition, Others seeking whom
they may marry. 1t is not particularly credit
able state of affairs, but the American met every
where is really in search of one of these two
things. In London she is trying to buy her way
with money. In Paris she is trying to buy yinfu-
ence with money. This is distinction with a
difference. She feels that in London she can
offer her dollars in the crudest way, stating
what she wishes and how much she will give for
it. Here more care must be taken, and to get
the influence of a lady from FaubOurg st. Ger
maine she must be approached most delicately
and the question OF money CLOSED over until it
seems of the slightest moment,
THE AMERICAN HUSBAND HUNTER
is the laughngstock of the fashionable set
wherever she maybe. One of the most conspic-
uous has almost an international reputation as a
/ beauty, and it did seem at first as if her hard
work was to be crowned with success, but alas
the years have gone on, and she seems no nearer
the goal than she was in the beginning. With
| time there has come a certain hardness, and her
object is 80 apparent that eligible men do like
the villain in the play, and turn and fee.
A BIT 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 mankind that there
are hundreds of lovely women on the other side
/ who do not have to 90 out to seek husbands, but
who stay at home and refuse to accept many
who are offered, eligible though they may be
1t is natural for them to Judge all By the one
type, and until you have seen it you cannot
imagine how entirely disgusting is the woman
with an eye like wolf on some man and de
termination expressed in her compressed lips tC
have her daughter introduced to him. Ne
wonder the great dread of the French mother
is that her young daughter may be like this, fol
naturally she sees little of the other type
THE DREssMAKERs' SHOPS
are oyerfowing with our own people-the dress
maker, by-the-by, being used to designate
man, for he is the god of gowns. 1t is said tn
first ladies tailor was Supplis, who made tn
beautiful frocks worn by Madame Pompadour
but he is known always as a couto,uier, now, iii
