AMERICAN WOMAN
The Chinese Minister Considers Her
a Peculiar Type.

when 1 speak of the American woman I
cannot say that there is really a prevailing
type writes Minister WI Ting fang in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 1T is a COM
posite-a mixture of all types. she has the
firm and upright carriage of the English girl
but she has, in addition, the vivacity of the
French woman, the grace of the Spanish wo-
man, the musical voice of the Italian, and,
whenever it is necessary the more sober
spirit of the German. The American type,
therefore, is one peculiar to itself. 1t is no!
a duplicate of anything, but rather a COM
bination of all that is good in the types OF
the world. 49,
