AMERICAN GIRLSA ABROAD
BY HENRY DEvEREAUx.

That the American woman has become a factor in English and Continental soci- ety must be admitted in Berlin and Paris as well as in London. But it is in English speaking countries the influence is most felt, and is rapidly growing. She is to be considered not only as a factor in social life, but in the home as a wife and mother.
 To us she is a psychological enigma in our social system. Recently through acts of folly and indiscretion an aged baronet was committed to an almshouse. He was maintained as a pauper. London papers discussed him as a social derelct. The man was bachelor; his title clear; his honor unstained. He had simply ex- hausted his own slender means, his credit and he, somewhat aged and enfeebled, applied to be committed.
 One day hanson drove up to the alms- house gate. A young, attractive woman, unmistakably an American lady, alighted and asked to see him privately. An in- terview of an hour took place. The lady W his discharge and gave bonds for his re- lease and security that he would not be- come a charge on the poor fund. To the surprise of fashionable London. Sir Charles B--- appeared among his old friends well dressed sent his cneek for small loans, and occupied handsomely furnished lodgings. Shortly after an- nouncement was made of his engagement to an American heiress The wedding took place. Sir Charles and Lady B--- purchased a handsome country seat in Herts.
 This incident Illustrates American en- terprise. It is striking, but not singular. It diners from the marriages of other heiresses only in so far that Sir Charles abandoned hope while other bankrupt peers disposed of their titles earlier in the marriage market.
 The singular fact Is that the American women who enjoy in the United States a position that mythoogical goddesses might envy, prefer to marry bankrupt. if not absolute peers or penniless foreign noblemen of shady reputation, than wed men of their own nation. In their own country. women are for all practical pur- poses above the laws. divine and human. For her men work and worry without ceasing. That they may be trained phys ically and mentally up to the highest standard fathers deny themselves leisure and pleasure, and that they may be
