nothing unusual in being extravagant.
If the consort Of such q man brings

too, no objection to that is valid. But
the head of the house is the member

portion as their husbands spend.
American horn wives, on the contrary,

! have learned to look for the real
tragedies among foreign marriages in
the silent cases. These women of char
acter and ambition, united in fervid
temperament. keeping their post like
soldiers, are admirable wives often Of
admirable men, yet they endure the con-
slant realization Of the chosen places Of
their thoughts being foreign to the ways
and thoughts Of their husband and the
world about them. There are modern
women of strong and distinct lives
whose inner principles are supreme pro-
tests against the system of living which
their marriages unknowingly drew them
intO-exiles from the soil and abovo
all, the soil Of republication.
Both law and custom grant men au.
thority over women. The bride passes
from the parental control into the con-
troll Of her husband, and, if she live to
be widow, into that of her son.
Our girls know theoretically before
marriage that they must be subservient
to their husbands as German wives ard
that the obstacles to happiness lie in
the path Of wifely independence. The
gentle footpath of submission is free
from hindrance.

WIVES OF GERMANS.
AN AMERICAN GIRLS POSITION WHEN
SHE MAaRIES A BARON.

How She Has to Economixe In the Use d
Her Own Money-An Authority on the
Subject Writes For the Benefit Of Young
Women In This Country.
Few questions have been put to me as
q test to my foreign experience oftener
than the familiar: Ought American
girls to marry German men? Are such
unions happy? Do they turn out we'll:
What class of men is it that step out
side the beaten track Of home matri-
mony to seek American wives and
transplant them into the life Of the "a
in Cosmopolitan.
In respect to the marriages Of Ameri-
can girls with German men, they may
be approved Of safely in the cases of
practical, worldly minded women and
Of very young or of very gentle temper
ed girls. Wives who possess little senti-
ment or only soft sentiments yield read
lily to their environment, tho latter Civ
ing way unconsciously, and hence with
out pain, the former with foresight and
with a purpose selfish enough, as we
may assume, to recompense them for
their renunciations.
As for the class of willfui, silly, pre-
tentious women, they are happy no.
where. German society should not be
called too harshly to account, therefore,
il they are wretched in marrying into
it. We must concede, if we are fai1
minded, that they would have been just
as discontinued in any other geograph-
ical position as in the fatherland.
The inquiry begins with our average
girls. They represent American wives
whose happiness is Influenced by the
specifically foreign traits in their hus-
bands and their husbands society and
surroundings. However they may vary
in character, they are alike in Their
Americanism. and it is republican prin.
ciples which are opposed in them to the
aristocratic education Of the men OF
their choice.
