NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The time has come
when the stranger is again within our
gates, and dark-halred bright-eyed French
women, dusky-looking Spaniards aud Cubans
are to be seen on the street, at the theaters
and at the hotels, contrasting oddly with
great number of English people. There
seems to be fresh invasion of the British
maid. She is no longer the British blonde,
for she has realized that the streaks in
blonde hair have grown too common,
and she has cut off the long
locks and is permitting her brown
hair to grow out afresh. Then, on pleasure
as well as on knowledge bent, il a sufficient
number of the British matron dowdily
dressed, and with beautiful determination
that the United States needs making over
from a social standpoint and she is the one
to do 1t. The lglIshman himself is I'M
doubtedly domestic tyrant and that he is
married to the Elglisnwomaa is a showing
of the eternal fitness of things. for while he
| RACES, storms, uses every word in the El-
gllsh and pr Diane vocabulary, she is as per-
fectly placid as a COW, and he believes that

is mistaken.
WOMEN WHO ARE GOVERNED BY MEN
The woman who keeps quiet and who re-
fuses to quarrel is always the woman who
comes out the best. A small edition of
electricity in feminine shape that screams
and cries and gets excited, and calls names
aud Is worn out physically and mentally is
easily governed by man, Notwithstanding
she may have the reputation of having a
violent temper. She becomes exhausted
physically long before the man does, and so,
poor little creature, breaks herself to Tits by
banging her wings against the cage.
THE DOMESTIC ENGLIsHMAN
The Englishman of the type of which
speak is usually hated by his children,
feared and despised by his wife, and looked
at with certain amount of plying con-
tempt by the rest of the world He be-
lieves that violent bursts of passion and boor-

self, and that the world may simply think
him ridiculous, never seems to dawn upon
him. OF course, this is by no means the
best type, tut it is one often seen among
the globe trotters. His wife, nine times out
Of ten, wears a jet cape, something that
seems to appeal more to the English
woman's idea of dress than anything in the
world, and in which she counts herself suf-
ficiently well dressed to be presented, if
necessary, to the Queen of Sheba.

MEN AND WOMEN MILLINERS
| was at an opening the other day-a
showing of bonnets. If there is anything
in the world that could make me untrue to

man wants TO make a sale, and does
everything in his power to succeed,
while women, little upset unless they

and that rhe sooner you get out and the les;

Urged by my friends, who are always so
kiod, and aided and abetted by the curiosity
of my maternal parent, went TO the DO :
