Swedish .Ien and Women.

What enormous fellows and what
leviathan persons some of these Swe.
dish men and women are! Nowhere win
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets
The feature seems to pervade all classes,
though il is not least striking among the
mobility. Six feet is a common heigh.
FOR a man here, and really | do not be-
heye | exaggerate in saying that men of
8 feet 3 or 4 inches are as abundant in
Stockholm As men Of 8 feet with us.
The tallness of the is just as
noteworthy. sYoU remark it less, how
ever, because they are so well proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size Of the boots outside the doors
which rooms of a hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is a very endur.
able hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear skies or sevens in shoe
leather. no sculptor would find fault
with them ON professional grounds.
Moreover, they have most winsome
compilations, and of oarse blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know-I speak on
the evidence of one of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have a great
admiration for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
sill exists, | suppose, between them
and us.-Cornhill Magazine.
