If an experimental Don Juan were | interrogated as to the woman whom
 he preferred among those who are born
 at Paris, Rome or at Vienna he must probably reply thus; For a mother and a daughter I would want an En- glishwoman.
 For a sister a German.
 For a sweetheart. a Frenchwoman
 or a Russian.
 For a wife, an Italian or a Spaniard.
 He would then surely provided with
 a garland of flowers, all beauties, with beauties of various kinds.
 In this garland, independently of race
 and nationality, we can distinguish in
 woman two diverse and characteristic
 types, the blonde woman and the brun- ette woman.
 The blonde woman is naturally first from Scandinavia, then Russia, then England, German, France, Holland, al
 though she appears sporadically in na-
 tions of brown races. The brunette, on the contrary, appears in Italy, in Greece, in Spain, in Portugal. Blue eyes, gray or greenish, nearly always
 come with blonde hair. To the dark
 tresses belong black or brown eyes.
 The AndaIusian maiden is at the pole
 of brunette beauty, the English girl
 is at the pole of blonde beauty: and as
 God is just he has given to the first
 the defect of a short stature and eX- | cessive languor, to the second hands i'll adapted for caresses and feet which can scarcely be seen as they escape | from beneath the frock. But when an Andalusian possesses the coloring of
 the Englishwoman, when she adds to 1 this her hands and feet, already small, then We have divinity upon earth-the two superior forms of life. those of the two most splendid creatures in the hu- man race.
 The painter and sculptor, Charles Ro- chet in a fantastical book written al- most twenty years ago, said this of the blonde and brunette types:
 ''The brunette is more ardent, more passionate, more resolute, more ener- getic than the pale blonde. She has more love as well as more hate, and ! her vengeances are more terrible. The blonde is the woman of the fireside, of gentle friendship and resignation. If the brunette is better sweetheart. the | blonde is a better mother. The bru- nette makes the great tragedienne, the 1 blonde makes the little comedienne | The question of the blonde and the ! ! to be solved; both must be accepted as adorable creatures. For me the blonde with her blue eyes, although i tender, gentler, more playful, appears to present a type less complete. less susceptible of perfection than the bru- nette. The brunette also appears to me ! to be richer in form and in color. She has more phases. All blondes seem to resemble each other. All lack in their form that which constitutes a proper Individuality. The brunette is a more complete being, like man.
 When the European is transferred into another hemisphere does she be- come better or worse? The response to such question would give us the most excellent opportunity oi seeing how far she can be influenced by climate | by the form of government. different costumes, respective national riches in order to conclude in what way and when the character is modified by the changing of her native country. | l believe that I can say that the woman transplanted to America is bet tered.

As for their beauty it is needless to say that it is marvellous. Let us recall the women of Lima and of Porto. The Argentine republic has | in its veins beside Andalusian blood many red globules which hie from France and Italy. The Chilean has much English blood, and all these mix lures have contributed to modify in many ways, always for good, the Span ish characteristics.
 The Italian woman is physically beautiful if she is a brunette. She is extremely beautiful if to her dark eyes to her skin tinted by the sun, to her rosy mouth she adds a blonde head Of hair. Artistic, passionate, ignorant, modest, she immensely pleases the man of the north
