Sarah Bernhard, whose ignorance Of
family life in America is as great as her
artistic fame, has undertaken to give
her fellow countrymen her ideas Of fe-
male education on this side Of the At
lantic. She begins by making the graf
flying admission that the American
woman leads a very different life from
her French sister. 1t will be news
throughout the millions Of homes on
this continent to learn from our recent
visitor that Tin America home scarcely
exists. People live in hotels or employ
hOusekeepers." This is 80 many leagues
from the truth that 1t merely provokes
a smile, but what do our readers Of
the gentler sex say to Sarah's asser-
ton that the American woman "mar-
ries as late AZ possible" and that while
in Europe the girls make haste ITO
escape from the family hearth and get
married." In America the girls are I'm
no hurry to enter the bonds Of matri-
mony. because to them marriage brings
an obligation from which the unmar-
ried are free" It would be interesting
to know from what shallow gossip
about American family life the divine
but lax Sarah derived her stock Of mis-
Information in regard to American
homes and American girls. So far az
our girls are concerned. no one has ever
known them to show any backward
ness about assuming the obligations OF
the married state. It IL only q ques-
ton with the great majority Of them

prone to marry In haste. In spite OF
the ancient injunction about repentink
