Philadelphia Beauties.
/ do not wish to be invidious,
but 1t seems to me that Philadelphia
has more beautiful girls than any
city In the Union, said DIR. Guzman
to Mail and Express reporter. 1t
Is true 1 married n Philadelphia
girl, but that fact has not so in fiu-
enced my Judgment that can not
be impartial The Quaker City girls
are natural beauties. They have
rosy cheeks, fine figures, clear,
bright eyes and delightful exu-
berance which makes them simply
Irresistible.
Keats had never seen the Phila-
delphia girls when he wrote that
famous line:
A thing of beauty ia a joy forever,
oi else we might assume that he re-
ferred to Philadelphia girls. In
some cities beautiful women are to
be seen now and then, but in the
Quaker City the loveliness is general.
A real homely girl is almost novel
ty and is noted as an exception to
the general rule. Philadelphia girls
do not pride themselves upon their
style and dash, but for domesticity
and a subdued yet becoming style
they easily rank high. The delight
full home life of that city, | think,
has great deal to do with the
growth of beauty.
New York women have great
style and a wonderful dash. There
are great many beautiful women
in Gotham, but many of them are
not natives. They come from all
over the world. Female beauty at
tracts attention at once In New
York, and that is because there is
not such general average Of beauty
In Philadelphia. Style In the me-
Is always endeavoring to
beauty, to fill the eye of
the beholder with art and not with
natures unadorned lovellness
Then, too, the Gotham women have
q dash Characteristic of them not to
be noticed In other cities. They un-
derstand the art of dressing, and are
supposed to reflect the glass of fash
ion for the rest of the United States.
Wealth, as a rule, means style and
fashion. In New York there Is lot
as much domestic life as in Phila-
delphia, and sweet domestic life, as
q rule, Is conducive of beauty. / do
not care to harshly criticlse the te-
male charms or lack of charms in
any city, but there are certain char
acteristics that forcibly struck me as
peculiar to big cities. Many, many
girls are to be found In
every American city.
Rebuked by Disdainful Silence.
To the German legal mind liberty
and equality for everybody are en-
tirely unknown. Freedom belongs to
those who are able to fulfill all their
duties toward the common wealth,
who are tit to bear the burden of
freedom. The prime duty is to de-
fend, sword In hand, the native soil.
Whoever, man or woman, was not
able to do that, had no claim to the
exercise of power in the community,
no personal independence, no civil
tights, not even the right of admin
