timore its great and lasting fame. Now.
/ DO not wish to intimate that there is
any diminiShment of this regal adorn-
ment. But 1 do claim that there are
many other American cities that have
caught up with Baltimore and "a number
that have passed it. Besides, there are
SO many pretty women in our country
now that the exclusively stunning beau
ties are not SO conspicuous as when their
realms We're more circumscribed indeed,
there is at present so majestic a galaxy
of magnificent American women that
there are not poets enough to depict their
gllttering roSaries of graces and accom-
pllshments. There are still many statu-
esque women in Baltimore from the cid
IRISH, English and Scotch stock, but
nave seen many more really pretty girls
however, in Wilmington (not far away.
also In Cleveland and Buffalo, in a single
day than in Baltimore in week The
best looking women in the Monumental
City are those of between thirty-five and
fifty years, whose culture and gracious
ness art of dress and StatelinesS of per-
son, consciousness of lineage and old
time superiority, keep them in the aurora
of that earlier vision that drew spon-

Louis Napoleon, Humboldt. Canova, Dis

imperiled, by their spontaneity, their
courtly standing amid the smiles and
affections of queens of their own.
Notwithstanding their lineage there is
little or no beauty of female face and
form in England-and particularly in
London-as gagged from the French and
American standards. As a general thing
EngliShwomen look like Englishr1en
and act and walk and talk like men,
There are few neat, tidy-appearing fig
ures and fewer pink and white COM
pIexionS. But what they lack in feminine
grace and loneliness they make up in
healthful roundness and physique. For
TINS parSimony of natural adornment the
harsh English climate must be partially
blamed. Besides, the English woman is
something of an all-around sport which
bronZes her and destroys her dimpIes and
curves. She takes to the field, the chase
the SOULS, and to artistic and scientific
Work-and these make her hands and
arms big and red; she walks half dozen
greater distances yearly than other Wom-
en- or her own claSS-and these trarnps
give her monStrouS feet and unidentified
ankles; she pays a great deal of atten-
ton to theology, to politics and philan-
thropy-and this combination compels ir-
reguiarities rather than soft womanhood
ana grace. And worse yet, the beer mug
or the gin bottle circulate all too free
ly In most English households-and the
enects are palpable even upon the faces
or the young. But to their credit it NAV
be said that English women indulge in
the Appliances of the toilet less thansanv
of their sisters in the civilized world. and
on an average spend less than ten rainu-
ties before their mirrors where the Ger
man and Italian women exhaust twenty,
the French and Spanish forty and the
American an hour or more.

lea-Tand outside our own country there
Is no daughter of Eve at all like her,
except that. she sometimes feebly reminds
You of the English girl without any of
T the coarsenesS or penderosity of the lat
Ter. The common idea of the Boston
girl is that she is homely, pedantic, op1n-
donated. stingy, devotional, and almost
too severely proper to admit that a ta-
variably looks under her bed before retir-
ing, as a precautionary measure against
surreptitious masculine surprise; that she
still adheres to sold-time blue hosiery, dnd
satisfies her 1epieurean desires on baked
: beans and brown bread, picked-up Goldfish
and potatoes, and young hyson tea; that
she affects green spectac1es and dotes on
Emerson; that she makes her own
clothes, darns her own stockings, and
cleans her own gloves; that she goes to
pieces at a symphony if the oboe falls
the sixteenth part of half tone from
the true pitch, or if the kettle drum is
shared an mfinitesimal atom too tightly,
But much. If not quite all, of the above
as applied to the Boston girl is ridicu-
lously fictitious; for she is, next to the
San Francisco girl, the best combination
in America orTin the world. There are
proportionatelg more pretty girls be-
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty

phia and San Francisco. They are not
so good dressers nor SO good make

and elean-leoking, top notched in edu-
cation and intelligence, refined and hos
pitable, engaging in conversation and in
innate with the leading English and
American poets and essayists, and they
can make as good biscuits as their moth
ers ever dared. Almost a double to the
Boston girl is the maid of Cincinnati.
Just as at a great pyrotechnical dis
play the most magnificent and most
spectacular piece has been reserved until
the last. SO close by simply referring
latiye1y gracious and Ioyable composite
of all-not so beautiful nor so spirituelle

Orleans; nor so Intellectually ornate and
overpowering as the young women of
Boston and Cincinnati; nor SO statutesque
as the Hebes and Helens of the Monu-

son Square, looks down upon a scene of
splendid ruin long before she is able from
her high perch to spy anything but a
mass of greenery in Jersey and the north
ern suburbs.
The suburban autumn has the charm
that belongs to daily change No two
days are exactly alike. Last week only
the southwestern branches of the sassa-
fras groups were rudy gold in color,
While the rest of the foliage was still
green Today the group is mound OF
richest mellowness with no single green
leaf showing. Yesterday the Virginia
creeper was of its wonted summer hue,
today it Grapes its supporting tree in
mantle of richest crimson.
The woodland hedge, only a few days
ago of almost uniform green, now shows
tail cones of bright yellow, where the
great tulip poplars, seemingly as thick
ly clad as in midsummer, have ripened
into their melloweSt estate. Side by side
with the sere and embrowned shagbarks
stand the pignut hickories, cad from top
to bottom in conserved sunshine of
tawny amber.
Nc plant is too mean for autumn to
paint with crimson and gold. Some thou
sands of acres Of suburban marsh and
uncultivated fields are daily ripening in
to softest and richest reds and russets.
Little rocky eminenceS of Pelham Bay
Park that rise amid broad eXpanSeS of
marsh, overlook sea of molten amber
edged with the crimson of wild black
berry bushes. Here are colors that will
last all winter long and give a trop1c
touch to the region even in December,
so that the kissing cry of the meadow
lark will never have an alien sound to
him who walks along the marsh on sun
shiny winter days.
That part of the Harlem valley which
lies within Van Cortlandt Park is thick
ly bespread with every color known to
the American autumn. From the eastern
highways of the park the woodland
stretches range on range. with the gor-
geous tops of the Palisades forming the
horizon.
Wherever break in the intervening
hills reveals the river itself and the ac-
tual wall of the Palisades the water and
the gray rock take on in sympathy with
the painted woodlands dense blues and
marvellous rock wall seems no stream of
reality no highway of commerce, but
rather stream issuing from some land
of dreams as unreal as the whole SPLEEN
didly colored landscape, itself apparent
ly the creation of magic, and not the
region in which the most practical peo-
pie OH earth dsport themselves.
Mid-October is the sunset of the SUI
burban year, and the splendid foliage of
woods and fields is it's sunset clouds
The lovely color lasts far into November,
after the sun has sunk below the horizon
Glorious scraps of color remain to deck
December, the month of the sympathetic
afterglow, when all that is most ethereal
and unearthly in the glories of autumn
remains to give a last touch of color to
the dying year before the dun of SER
ried bare twigs remains, as the ashes OF
vanished fires and the night of the year
sets in.-New York Sun.

woods and the Fields.
Not suddenly, but gradually, this year
woodland and hedgerow, weedy field and
tangled garden bloomed into antnnnal
splendor. Any keen observer of the seq
sons might have expected that the time
OF full bloom was not far off, when sud
denly two weeks ago, after night of
windy turmoil, the chestnuts were found
to be falling. No sharp early frost, such
as usually precedes the opening of the
chestnut burrs and the turning of the
leaves, had as yet happened, but the sum
of the weather conditions was such as
to ripen the chestnuts and to prepare the
leaves for their annual change.
Many days before, indeed, some of the
trees had turned to red and gold. The
swamp naples had blushed in sudden
flame and trees lining the water courses
had for. weeks been melloWing. Woodland
tops seen in the mass had shown ripen-
ing boughs, and the poison ivy had
sought to make amends for It's evil quail
ties by wrapping in the most splendid of
robes the tree trunks which it disfigures
with its hairy ropes. The sumachs had
vagrant dewberry vines began to trail
their vivid crimson over the lichened
gravity of the old stone wallis
After all this had been going on almost
unnoticed for at least a fortnight there
came days of dense morning fog, follow
ed by night and day of rain, and
behold, with the return of sunshine the
suburban world appeared TRANSFORMED!
Safely embosomed in the fog, nature had
completed her great process, and, al
though much of the work had been done
days before directly beneath the eyes of
men, an effect of surprise had been OBJ
tanned.
1t Is the city SQUARES that first show
the effects of the processes by which au-
tumn brings about her marvellous trans
formations. The trees that root them
selves in the gas-poisoned soil of the
town, and are unwilling neighbors to
cobbles and asphalt have so frail a hold
on life that they are i'll able to resist any
process of decay. Their vitality just suf-
fees to carry them through the grow
ing portion of the year, and, like sick
folk, they welcome the coming season of
sleep and rest, and early make ready for
the approach of winter. Diana, Of Madi-
