A New York woman. says the New
York Sun. who spends part OF each
year in Paris says that the French
woman and the American have very
different ideas on the matter OF street
tiirtation.
The average French woman upon
finding that she is followed by some
idler will be troubled about it and
take herself 10 task for having looked
about too much or worn too noticeable
garments. She considers that the
blame rests upon her. whereas the
American woman or girl adopts the
opposite view.
The American woman who finds her
self observed or followed is no whit
disturbed and sometimes even VEN
lures to give the offender a lesson.
She will slaeken her pace begin to
survey things in the windows and
otherwise behave so as TO beguile the
person into thinking she is in for n
lark. Then, when. believing himself
encouraged. the masher speaks to the
fair loiterer. she fixes him with such
a look of scorn and disdainful proprie-
ty that he sinks off more or less dis
concerted and the girl goes home con-
graduating herself that she has ad-
ministered punishment that cut deep.
The American girl. however discreet
she may be at home, takes chances in
Paris merely for the fun of the thing
that the native women who know their
countrymen would never dream of
venturing. She apparently delights in
exciting admiration and attention in
the shops and in public conveyances.

AMERICAN WOMEN
THE PRETTIEST.

For many years, says an exchange,
it has been conceded by the best
judges of all nations that the American
women are the prettiest in the world.
! The Spanish women of quality may be
superior in grace, the French in Vi
vacity, the English in vigor and color,
but for all-around charm the American
woman has been thought to be without
a peer. An artist of worldwide fame.
! Penrhyn Stanlaws. combats this idea
vigorously. He recently made some in

LITTLE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

If we could only collect the statis-
tics of the little misapprehensions that
have caused irreparable mischief. we
would be astonished at the number of
entirely unnecessary estrangements
that have resulted from trivial mis-
understandings, said a woman to the
New York Tribune. They would at
the same time teach us to he less
hasty in judging people by circunl-
stantial evidence. So many perfectly
harmless sayings and doings are mis-
construed and perverted, so many I'M
discovered accidents occur to mislead
us, that we should always give our
friends the benefit of the doubt. and
never believe everything to their dis
credit unless we are perfectly sure of
our facts, and even then it might be
we'll to suspend Judgment and see if
some explanation is not possible
The worst part of it is that there
are some things you cannot call per-
sons to account for replied her
friend. For instance, there is moth
ing that people resent more than the
borrowing of small sums and not pay
ing them back. The rich are even
more critical about this than poorer
persons, as they hate to be imposed
upon, for it is not the amount that is
in question, but the principle. One
cannot ask an explanation about
trifing unpaid debt, yet still it rankles
and there is always the possibility of
some mistake in the matter which can
never be rectified on account of the
impossibility of an explanation. About
ten years ago Mrs. B. gave a house
party. One of the men fell in love
with one of the young women guests,
and she seemed inclined to reciprocate
The feeling. The former was obliged
70 leave several days before the
Others. and found, just before start
ing. that he was short of cash, and
asked his host if he could lend him so
for few hours. The next post failed
10 bring the promised remittance, and
nothing more was heard of it. OF
course il was a very small matter,
and Mrs. H. made a joke of it, and
said she had tipped her own servants,
and Miss T.. the girl in question, who
was an upright creature, felt both an
noyed and disguised, and on her re-
turn TO town showed the young man
plainly that his day was over. Now,
here comes the irony of fate. A few
months ago the Bs. made an addition
to their house, and in tearing down
the partition to widen the hall, sew
eral old letters fell out from the base
board, behind which they had fallen
through a wide crack. One of them
was from the supposed delinquent of
other years. written on the evening of
his departure. and containing the ten
dollar bill. 1t was all ancient history,
however-the girl was married and the
man was married, and he had several
children. When Mrs. b. told him of
the occurrence he could hardly recol-
lect the incident. II do remember
something of the sort" he said, evil

BISHOP P0TTER'S
TRUTHFUL PUPIL.

Bishop Potter is telling another story
at his own expense. This one is OF a
rebuke he received for doubling the
efficacy of his own preaching. says the
New York Times.
There is a certain Sunday school in
which the Bishop takes a deep interest.
He very often visits il and talks TO the
children, who have come TO know him
very well. Some time ago little girls
sewing class was organized. and a
medal was offered to the child who
would make the best record for regu-
larity and punctuality. At the closing
exercises one little girl was called to
the front and presented with the med
al. the donor explaining TO the audi
ence that Alice had made an absolute
~ perfect record. as she had never been
either absent or late. When Alice heard
this she handed back the medal. say
ing, II did not have a perfect record.

cumstances of her Hardness.
Bishop Potter was impressed by the
incident. and at the earliest opportuni-

Why did you not take the medal.

1T would have been telling a lie."
was the reply.
Would your teacher have known
you were untruthful?"
mo; she did not see me come in
that day"
Would your mother have known"
mo. sir never told her about IT,"
We'll, who would have known that
you We're telling a lie?" pursued the
Bishop. Alice's little face was very
pink as she looked into the Bishops
eyes and said:
II would"
The child's delicate sense of honor
delighted the Bishop so that he caused
a beautiful medal to be made. which
he sent to her. explaining why he did
so. In reply he received this letter:
Dear Bishop: Many thanks for the
pretty medal. 1t is much nicer than
the one / didn't get. l do not under
stand why you send me a medal for
telling the truth. when you have al
ways told us in Sunday-school that
we should never tell lies. l thought
