The Superior American Women.

After many happy weeks spent in
the States / am not in the least sur
prised that Englishmen should marry
American women. They show their
good taste-I should do the same were
l a man. Nor am | surprised that
American women should prefer Eng
lishmen-for the same remark applies
There is a delightful freedom, an air
of comradeship coupled with pleasant
manners and pretty looks in the Amer
ican woman which are most attrac-
tive. Her hospitality is unbounded
her generosity thoughtful and she is
in every way an all-round good sort.
The American woman is an excel
lent speaker. II is surprising TO hear
her oratory at one Of her large club
luncheons, such as the Sorosis in New
York. The club woman is young and
handsome. we'll dressed and pleasing
and she stands up and addresses n
couple of hundred women just as east
ly as she would begin a tete-a-tete
across n luncheon table. She is not
shy. or If she is she hides il cleverly.
There is no doubt about it the Amer
lean dame is a great personality; but
either she will have TO educate her
sons to her own level or descend from
the pedestal on which she now reigns
Which will IL be?-Mrs. Alec-Twecdie,
in the London Times.
