FAMOUS FRENCHMAN ORGANS AT
THE MENTION OF THEM.
Max ORell, as he is known on the
lecture platform, or Paul Biouet in pri-
vate life in his lecture on Her Royal
Highness, Woman, says:
we Frenchmen know less and care
less about the foreigners than any race
upon earth. We have our own opinion
OF ourselves, and we are happy. The
American also has an opinion of him
self-eh? But the Frenchman and the
American are alike in another particu-
lar. We are both IN the leading strings
of woman.
THE French woman is the queen and
the man is her subject, but he does not
know it, she manages him so Discreet
ly. From the day Of their marriage
she is introduced into the details of his
business; she becomes his partner and
his confidant. When he makes an in
vestment, it is at her suggestion and
she holds the cash box. When you 60
into a French shop and You come to
the little window marked Pay Here
look through it when you get your
change and you will find a little French
woman, the wife of the proprietor. All,
this it is that makes the finances OF
France so steady, and this It is that
makes France so rich. No, there are
not your gigantic fortunes, but it is
distributed, scattered, diffused Believe
me, outside of Paris (Which is by no
means Flance) ~ per cent. of he
population own their own homes.
Tile French woman understands the
politics Of matrimony. She may be a
little affected but is never vulgar, and
you can hardly tell q seamstress from
nobleman's daughter if the surround
ings are the same. And she under
stands the poetry of matrimonyl Court
ship begins with the wedding, and the
husband has yet to win his bride-a
process that is usually interesting AS
a result of this not one man in 500 be-
longs to club, and, as for women
clubs-ughl
But the American wOman-she has
not the frivolity Of the French wO-
man that makes her try to have her
self and her home attractive The re-
suit is the man is always absorbed bv
business, and while the Frenchman
closes his shop for two hours mt noon
to dine with his family-the great fea-
ture Of the day-the American hangs a
sign outside his door, Gone to dinner.
BE back in five minutesl This is what
makes this country an eyesOre from
New York to San Francisco and from
British Columbia to Mexico. This is
what makes the broad faces of this fair
land a signboard for liver pillsi
When the French girl marries she
gains her liberty. When the Engli j
girl marries she loses it. When the
American girl marries she retains it.
THE American men are the most de-
voted and the hardest working crea-
lures on earth. The sweat that pougs
from their brow is crystal lied into
diamonds to adorn the fair skin OF the
iairest women in the world. still tho
typical American man does not exist
but the most characteristic product OF
this country is its woman. Her bril-
liancy of conversation, her intellectual
charm, her animation of feature and
absence of affectation and her great
physical beauty make her peerless. Il
l could chose my birthplace and ses
for a second existence on earth, / would
pray with Outstretched arms and on
Blended knees to be made an America
woman
Il find the reason for the difference
between the French woman and hel
American sister. especially i'm wha
concerns her freedom, is the result o
education. From their earliest year,
your American girls and boys ar.
thrown together. and this explains
their familiarity, but with us the sexe
are kept apart"
