POINTS WHEREIN THEY DIFFER

Ono of the Sex Contrasts American
Women UnfavorabIy with English.
Despite all the loudly expressed
opinions to the contrary. nothing can
touch the really smart English woman
as one sees her Mt the Carlton or at
Princes nj the luncheon hour. There
is n bewitching. graceful femininity
about her that Is in evidence in every
detail of her costume and certain
something that, for lack of a better
word, we must call refinement.
Our most charmingly gowned women
in America have all tendency to eN-
travagance in dress and ornament.
The welfdressed English woman Is
simple in her style, despite her frills,
and 1t is only in the evening, when she
puts on her low-necked gown, that she
allows any of the daring extravaganza
that one sees 50 freely displayed at
our fashionable hotels on Fifth avenue
whore women meet for luncheon.
Then. the English woman's face is
patrician even when she is far from
beautiful. The finely modelled noses
and chins. the long. slender necks are
the rule, and. although good eyes and
mouths are not SO plentiful. the clear
lines of the faces under the frilly hats
are very satisfying from an artistic
standpoint.
Our bifurcated girl and our gentle
manly young business woman. in her
stiff collar and her feur-in-hand scarf
have. OF course. stood for something
fine, vigorous and gloriously independ-
ent.
We have chummed with our mascl,-
line kind to an extent that has made
+, the most popular type of society girl
he racy. washing woman who above
III scorns any suspicion of being an
ngenue.
Many of our younger matrons have

ing the style of the most popular ac.
eress or opera singer in the manner OF
.oiffnre or OF corsnge.--H has beer
ibsolutely impossible to detect the diff.
ference between the successful demi.
monde and the society leader, so far as
i either dress or manner is concerned.
And. at the same time, the English
woman of society is inclined to be fast,
bat She is never unfeminine. For that
reason she never suggests that under
her baby lace hat and its chin ties
nrks the same deviltry, coquetry and
desire for the subjugation of man that
first possessed Mother Eve and broke
up the light housekeeping in Eden

Recently Joseph Offord read paper
before the Society for the Encourage

described what must have been a

"The plain truth is that fully one
half the workers of the United States
the men whose incomes are from
5000 to $4,000 a year, the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions,
have not been getting their share OF
the national prosperity. They are
working for the prosperity Of capital
and organized labor, but no one Is
working for them And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted"

Pleasure and Politics.
II anyone thinks that President
Roosevelt is not busy these days, be-
cause he is not talking for publication,
they are much mistaken. The Presi-
dent is fully employed from morning
to night, although he only devotes a
''short hour for the duties of his
office. 1t frets and worries him that
he cannot be more in the public eye,
but the Republican leaders have i'm.
pressed on him that he must keep
quiet. So he takes long tramps, rides
and drives, camps out. boxes, wrestles,
fences with the broad sword and sin
gle sticks, rows, chops trees, plays ten
mis- with his cabinet-the younger
members-shoots with rifle AMI revol-
ver and to fill in spare time jiu jitsu,

Then there are political conferences
with Plat, Odell. Root. Lodge, Cor
telyou. Addicks. Black and Lou
Payne, and fixing Gings' with Nor.
gan. Stillman, Could and other Wall
street and trust magnates, all of which
takes time and lots of 1t.
In fact. most of the time of Mr..
Roosevelt since lie was accidentally
indicted into the presidential office
has been occupied in like strenuous
occupation, much TO the detriment Of
the serious business of the govern
ment. Think of the record breaking
