AngIo-Americnn Imitation.

II Is time that the truth should be un-
derstood i'm this matter Of Anglo Ameri-
can imitation. The opinion prevails that
II is wholly one-sided, which most en-
phatically is not the case. The American
lcavcn works in England about as strong
ly as the English notions obtain this side
the water.
II is not concession TO American good
sense and example that English young
women OF the best families now often
walk the streets unattended by footmen?
Such thing a few years ago would have
beea impossible. American practices and
precedonts are freely quoted and adopted
in English society. American ideas are
copied without stint, and American wares,
novelties and inventions are generally ad-
vcrtised by London tradesmen. The most
conservative OF the London society and
-wenaenis peri,titeais- s-eofstantiy set forth
the f" lads " % American women, and they
long ago ceal d the tone of half apology
in which such items used TO bc couched.

miration and respect for things American

4 Word FOR the Woman shopper.

How much nonsense has been written
about shopping and the ways and means
OF doing il! The lady with so much spare
time on her hands that she has nothing 20
do but go in and out OF different shops,
asking for things she has no intention of
buying exists chiefly in the brain OF the
caricaturist. She has furnished gooo
deal of "copy" in her day, poor thingl
but, in the interest OF truth, she might
now be allowed to die natural death
Much observation of the ways OF women
on purchasing thoughts intent has
brought me to the conclusion that the
large majority OF women are as expedi-
tious as possible.
They will spend whole morning shop
ping; but, instead OF dawdling over each
item in the way recently represented by
trade journal, they know what they want,
and only seek to be served as speedily as
may be. Civility they do not waste, un-
fortunately; but IL they are brusque TO
the assistants IL Is often because they are
in a hurry, and not from intentional dis
courtesy Far from the pricing OF goods
destroying the delights OF shopping, IL is
an immense assistance 20 1.-THE Gentle

While nineteen or twenty-inch waist

IL may be Justly doubted whether the

women OF the highest type of the Indo-
European races to have wide hips and
marrow waists. In other races the
hips are narrower and the waist larg-

consequence of her large hip meas

she actually has. To the unskilled mascu-

In Washington, d. G., sewing is taught

that so far from detracting from other
studies instruction in sewing has brought
the schools up to higher standard Sew
ing i'll systemized form was introduced
in the schools five years ago. No call was
made for it by the public, nor was there
any systemized opposition to it, Nine
teachers are employed in the white schools
and five in the colored, and they are paid
$50 a month, or $500 a year for year of
ten months They go from school to
school. giving one hour instruction each
week to each class Mr. W b. Powell,
superintendent Of public instruction for

The system has proved successful here,

tendent, to the supervising principals, to
the teachers, to the children and especial
ly so to the parents Of the children. Child

the money spent in this way is money well

Andrew Carnegie recently contributed
TO the New York Tribune valuable sugges-
tions to young men on the best way to
succeed in life. Mr. Carnegie thinks that
much time is wasted in obtaining CLASH
cal education by men intended and quail
fed by nature only for business pursuits.
He says, among other things:
No young man can derive inspiration
from two sources, the ancient and the
modern, because no young man has the
time to learn both thoroughly. There are
few men who can know one literature so
well that they can feed full upon it. You
never saw the classical scholar who knew
thoroughly Shakespeare and Milton,
Franklin and Emerson, and who drew his
mental food from all the precious sources
of strength and inspiration contained in
his native tongue. To the extent that he
knows foreign tongues and foreign litera-
lures, to that extent his own tongue and
his own literature are necessarily exclud-
ed Man never thinks in two languages,
and this means everything.
l rejoice when young men and women
