NEW YORK, March THE American
woman is disapproved of by Mrs. Stanley.
She thinks her manner is bad, her voice
loud, and her dressing very Objectionable
She has spent all her time looking tor pretty
women and can't find them. Evidently she
Is not as good an explorer as her husband.
The insolence displayed by the English
woman is almost magnificent. Wherever
she has gone she has been we'll treated;
great courtesies have been shown her; and
in almost all instances they have emanated
from women, and this is her THANK you"

MRS. sTANLEY's TAwDRY GOWN.
Mrs. Astor, whom nobody ever believed
to be anything but gentlewoman, with the
finest feelings and the greatest consideration
for rich and poor alike. was asked to invite
Mrs. Stanley to her house. She did so; aud
among the crowd OF well-dressed American
women the English one, who had so un-
kindly criticised them, wore q crimson vel
vet gown so tawdry looking that one could
not but associate IL with those affected by
the Queen of Denmark when Hamlet" Ia
played on the Bowery. 1t is said that as q
nation we are too sensitive. Well l don't
know that VIC are, except where our women
are concerned; and we do object 60 having
disagreeable comments made on them,
especially by the stranger within our gates,
to whom they have offered the bread and
salt of hospitality, and who have not
known, or else forgotten. that once you
have broken the bread and tasted the salt
you respect the courtesy shown you, and
THE ENGLISH MAID WHO WAITS.
We have nothing in this country that
answers TO the type represented by Mrs
Stanley-the maid who waits. She Is very
common in England. where husbands are
by no means easy to get, and where women
wait on far beyond 81. waiting for man
to take pity on Thorn, and grow TO have an
expectant look on their. faces, until you
would not be surpriiad 10 hear them cry,
Amy man, Lordl" That Is why nothing
good is found in the American woman.
She can always marry; and when she don't
she isn't an expectant old maid,
with the stamp Of prunes and
prlsms set about her mouth and on her
forehead In ill-tempered lines, but she IS a
woman who doesn't care TO marry, and
chooses to work out her life alone. For my
own part, | say, God bless herlN for she
takes care Of many another woman, looks
after many another woman's children, and
does good in many a household. After tho
oriticism Of Mrs. Stanley, however, it ID TO
be hoped that the American woman win
close her doors to so-called lions that are,
after ALL catfish in their actions. It's pity,
in the interest IF society at large, that the
wife Of the explorer does not 90 to darkest
Africa and learn there the saoredness of
hospitality.
A NEW SCHOOL FOR WOMEN.
Talking about women, there is something
going to be done for them about which a
great deal ought TO be said. There are
schools that teach women everything ex-
cept how to be useful and Bhis is something
that Mr.. George w. Childs is going TO
remedy. In the great Drexel institute for
women. which rs now being built, they will
be taught how to cook, how to sew, how to
make bonnets. how to keep accounts, how
to write shorthand, how to be good type
writers, designers, and to be perfect in
every one OF the arts that are within the
reach Of a woman's hands. A certificate Of
the perfection in any one branch will be
enough to gain them position ia any shop
or mandatory; and the bonnet mas to be
as well made, the stenk as well cooked as
the design is perfect or the account
properly posted. The woman who gradn-
ates as cook will understand her business,
and the one who receives her diploma as a
dressmaker will know exactly where peck
cts Should be put, how buttons should be
placed, and just how closely a collar should
fit to look well, and yet DO comfortable.
Isn't this the right sort Of schoola And to
show you how entirely Mr. Childs intends
to carry out this idea, he has put himself Ia
communication with all the good artisan
schools in the world, and intends to get the
best of everything from them; to find out
their mistakes, and as far as possible to
avoid them. Only the other day, when a
secretary was needed, and Mr.. Childs was
asked to recommend young man, he said,
''No, let it be woman this is for women
and wherever women can honestly earn any
of the money from IL they shall hold tho
positions" Now, that's what call good
speech; and the school promises TO be that
best Of all things-a help to women who
want to make life better, truer, and more
absolutely honest, for the poor worker is as
dish onest as the thief.
NEW YORK FULL OF DOGS.
The dogs have come to town. They are
aristocrats from the tips of their tails TO tn
ends OF their cold noses The big on 90
scorn the little onoS, and the little ones ne ar
ly bark their outside coverings off in an
effort to prove that they are not as insig-
nifcant as they look. Unlike the beggars
none of them are in rags, and their coats
are glossy enough to be considered as satin
dinner-gowns. That uybody who has
personal attachment for dog should put
him in the show is a mystery to me. The
big dogs are cooped up in places not big
enough for them, and they look downcast
and unhappy; while the little ones are SO
nervous that they spend all their time bark
ing, and when the show is over need
months doctoring to get them In good con-
dition again. However, without thinking
about the poor dogs, the fashionable crowd
look aud approve, and are interested in the
puppies, whether they are on four legs or
two.
