son saws:
1t will, think, be conceded that the special
distinction Of the American woman does not
lie IN her intellect or her learning. Brilliant
glrts and attachments to a certain point may
indeed be exceptionally frequent, but they
nave often been equaled, if not exceeded, in
the past. 1t lies rather in her talent for
utilizing knowledge and adapting it to visible
ends. To combination Of many talents has
been added one to make then all available. II
Is essentially talent for "arriving"-in other
words. a talent for success, either with or
without intellectual ability of high order,
ana consists largely in a keen insight as to
serVlceable values with marked facility for
catching salient points and using them to the
best advantage. The result is that no women
in the world have so much versatility or make
little knowledge go so far.

modern Spain. Proud without being haugh-
