THE AMERICAN WOMAN.
Frsneh writer Says she Plays q nest
ImDOFtant Part In shaDinG
WorId Politics.

A new role is attributed to the Amer
lean woman by q writer in the Paris
Gil Bias. IN letter from New York
he says American women are no longer
content with the money their husbands
have toiled to make, but aspire TO pow
er, and are entering q new ield-di-
plomaey. "The title Of ambassador"
says the writer, lis now worth as
much as that Of prince to the Ameri-
can woman, and that Of attaehe il
equal to q German baron" Moreover,
he finds that American women, while
they marry foreign diplomats, never
cease working-fOr the interests Of the
land Of their first affections.
He takes the American woman seri-
ously and as a power, and goes on to
note the pOsition'she holds to-day. In
England Mrs. Cumberland and Lady
Curzon WELD immense influence. In
France the wives of Ribot and d'Es-
