DEADLY AMERICAN SINS.
A very clever man is writing q series
OF articles on THE Seven Deadly Sins
of Americans" The first one accredited
the American men aud American women
was "Bragging." | am sorry to say it,
but think that In attaching this vice 10
us rs a cation. he has simply stated what
is an absolute fact. What have we after
all TO brag about? The leader OF the con-
seryative set In New York has behaved
with greater meaBness, has shown less
heart than one would have believed pos
sible ia a woman, or, indeed, 10 any
thing created outside q brute. what
writer have we who lives 10 this country
and about whom we can Drag as com
pared with Rudyard kipiing. Dickens.
Balzac. or Thackeray? What painter
have we who is on 4 Level with Mil.aiS,
Cabanel, Bastian, Lepaze or B0ugereau2
What dramatist with Sard0u? We can
not boast that We begin 20 understand
making homes as do the people OF the
older world, for as nation we are abb
sorbed by another vice that Is quite as
vulgar as Dragging, and that is curios-
ity. II you have any doubt on the sub
ject, pick up The morning paper and
read about famous actor.
You are not told about his abilities as
a. IL q
playwrights. On, no. The number ot
clubs TO which he belongs Is mentioned,
the presentation PLACES O. pictures that
he may possess are described, his cos
tunes are dilated upon, while, as TO the
woman. we are tod the number OF men
she has captivated, vino is her dress
maker, whether the satin she wears on
the stage is OF the best quality and
which Of her jewels are real and which
are paste. II the reporter happens 10
take a dislike 10 her, either as an act
ress o. as woman, then vulgar Kind
OF cnaff is INDUCED IN which simply
displays the ignorance Of the writer and
the vulgarity OF the people who count
his work as of worth.
PECULIAR WOMEN VISITORS.
Take the average American woman
Who has been visiting you. When She
leaves you, she does not tell her friends
the bright things that were talked
about, the books or pictures that were
discussed, but she dilaJes upon your
private affairs, what she discovered or
your methods as a bouse6eeper. while
she makes guesseS TO satisfy the general
curiosity, as to how much your belong
ings cost. The son OF an English states
man, the late john Bright, visited this
country some years age, aud tod mo
that be INDUCED ia white lie wher-
ever he weut; that be denied has own
father. II would not have done this,
he said, III the people who came 20 me-
had asked ms about his political opln'
ions. about his literary tastes, but ln-
stead OF that they simply showed q
petty curiosity. They wanted 90
know what be had for breakfast. what
was his opinion OF women, u be tubOed
in hot or cold water, and wto were the
loves Of his early life" No one could
blame him for being unwilling 20 cater
TO such low curiosity.
What business has the general public
in discovering whether an actress is
happy In her marital relations? She Is
on the stage TO act When the curtain
drops she should be let alone, unless in
deed her behavior is so tad that all
right thinking people prefer not to give
her the favor OF their countenance; In
that case, the best way TO express itIs 10
STAY away from the theatre. Instead. l
am sorry 10 say, that the more notorious
her private life aud the worse Der act
ing and the finer her frCcks, the more
will good women rush 20 the theatre
that they may say they have seen her.
And this Is but another expression OF
the vice curiosity.
CAUTIOUS ENGLISH ACTRESS.
Last year famous Eug1sh actress,
who is particularly wise 10 dividing her
social and her business life, met at ona
