"How does Mrs. - get on In her new
surroundings" was asked concerning an
English woman who had married an Ameri-
can and settled in New York, says the New
York Tribune
well" was the answer, sit is, as usual,
case OF patching a round hole with q
square patch; she cannot assimflate, every
thing that is unfamiliar shocks her, and she
is wretched because she cannot bring her
surrounding down-or, as she would un-
doubleday consider them, up to her own
standard. Why IS it, wonder, that while
an American gIrl so readily adapts herself to
places and people, becoming English. French
or German with apparently perfect ease
the Englishwonan is so intensely insular
wherever she may bel Is it a virtue or a
FAULT Would you call it prejudice or
strength of character on her part that
makes her carry her bit Of England with
her wherever she goes as O snail carries his
house on his back9 An Englishwomsn may
marry an American, but she rarely, if ever,
becomes thoroughly identified with her
adopted country; she never becomes Ameri-
canized, nor would she if sue could, so
strongly Is she impressed with feeling of
national superiority. She is distinctly and

American woman who merries a foreigner
so quickly adopts the manners, customs,
and even accent OF her new home, that she
assimilates without an effort, apparently,
becoming completely part and parcel OF her
new existence. Now, in case Of our own
country woman, does this faculty of
adaptation denote a InercuiAl tempera-

"Do you manicure toe nails herel" asked
dear little rosebud, obhvious OF her Latin
roots, says Clara Belle in New York let

one Of the first things girl does when she
gets engaged. The toe nails can be as much
improved as the nails of the fingers. It's
pity girls don't take little more care before
they get engaged. IG takes good three
months to get the average toe nails into pre-
sentable shape. We always find our GUS
toners impatient TO be guaranteed tho ''all
right in such and such time. They are, Of
course, being pressed to name the day, and
they cannot do it, as, of course, you can
understand, till their toes are as nearly
faultless as possible. Which, as rule, is
very far from faultless." l expressed a
natural surprise. Ozark stocking have been

"Dear me, yes Girls sleep with their
feet bandaged with bleaching and Soften
ing preparations, with their toes bound
upon splints, and their ankles shaped by
binding. We. of course, een only accomp-
fish what the foot permits. We can make
the skin IT, smooth and white; give per-
haps some plumpness where 1t is needed
and make the so es soft and pink, give tint
to the tips of the Toes aud to the nails,
make the heels rosy, and bring perhaps all
the moons in sight If we have time. A
cared-for foot is, assure you, a thing of
beauty"
