Look at the hundreds of foreign men

that an American man weds a foreign
woman. This I noted particularly in
London society. The reason? Our girls
are very desirable. The married wo-

Just the Place for Poets.

No other large city is as quiet as
Berlin. Railway engines are not al
lowed to blow their whistles within the
city limits. There is no loud bawl-
ing by hucksters, and the driver whose
wheels are loose and rattle, is subject
to a fine. The courts lave a large
discretion as to fines for noise max
ing.
The yelling costers and newsboys of
London streets would have a rough
time of it in the German capital.
Strangest of all, piano-playing is
regulated in Berlin. Before a certain
hour in the day and after a certain
hour in the night the piano must be
silent in that musical city. Even
during playing hours a fine is imposed
for mere banging On the piano.
German intolerance of noise is not a
! recent thing. The great General Wal
lenstein had a hundred and thirty
houses torn down in Prague. and SEN
tries posted all round at a distance,
to secure silence To American minds,
an expensive and arbitrary method.

Ing at a photograph in a h~eart-shaped
silver frame, which held the place of
honor on the mantel-piece. Her
thoughts were evidently far away from
her surroundings, as she failed to hear
footsteps approaching, and was only
recalled to herself by the maid
ing Captain Stewart" A flush OF
burning color swept over Elsie's face,
and quick as thought she snatched the
heart-shaped frame from it's place, and
holding it in her left hand, advanced
TO meet q tall, fair man, whose pale
face showed signs of recent illness, and

idea you were in America; did the doc

Her pretty face was still flushed, and
after answering her questions as to his
health, Jack Stewart felt a difficulty
In returning to their old friendly foot
ing; there was a subtle difference in
her to him that made him
vaguely uneasy.
So it was more by way of converse

Jack asked laughingly:
"And who is the king of Hearts
now?" Then as his glance fell on the
vacant place on the mantel-piece, he
started and said more seriously:

customed place. What is the meaning

WOMEN ABROAD.

BY Elizabeth B. Grannis.

American women are lauded to
skies in this ountry for their beal
and accomplishments, but seen at I'll
Paris Exposition they fell short, IL
many respects, of standards of learn
ing set by French and German Wo-
men.
1t was a lamentable thing that so
many of our women were unable TO
speak French. And if there was ever
need of that accomplishment it was at
the various meetings held for the pur-
pose of furthering plans for the adj
vancement of woman'S cause
out the world.
Our women rivalled all in show and
elegance, but they were IN
courtesy by the French, in learning by
the Germans, and in organizing power
by the English ladies.
Indeed, 1 think the example set in
all these regards will exert a lastlng
influence on American women.
The number of school teachers at the
Exposition was enormous. They had
saved their earnings for a long time.
taken advantage of cheap rates, and
included in a months vacation not only
a cursory survey of the Fair, but a
trip to the axe of Switzerland.
They were visible everywhere, and
when seen were unmistakable. AT the
same time there were many OF our
most exclusive social elements repre-
scented. Such women as Mrs. May
Wright Sewall gave US cause TO De
proud of American womanhood. MRS
Sewall delivered a long impromptu ad-
dress in French before a large mlXec
audience and surprised even the ma
tives by the correctness of her accent
and the f1uency of her dictlon.
Most of our women ave acquired {
superficial knowledge OF traVelllns
French, italian and German, and they
imagine hat with it they can carry OF
a connected conversation.
It was noticeable, however, that for
! eign women in a surprising number o
cases had good command of English.

It would be more to our credit to try
to connect the links which are neces-
sary to weld our cosmopolitan popula-

BAD Compilations

CUT ICURA SOAP

MILLIONS Use CUTIcURA Soar, assisted By CUrIcURA OTNT-

ing the scalp of cruHs, scales and dandruf and the stopping of fall

purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially
to mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.
No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used it
to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin,
scalp and hair of infants and children. CUTICURA SOAP combines
delicate emolient properties derived from CUT1cURA, the great skin
cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refresh
ing of flower odors. No other mealaed soap ever compounded is
to be compared with it for preserving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands. No other foreign n domestic toilet
soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the pur-
poses of the toilet, bath and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE
SOAP at ONE PRICE, viz, 25c, the BEST skin and complexion
soap and the BEST toilet and baby soap in the world.
