writer In Baltimore under the sig
nature Of "Oriole" recently sent this
opinion on American women to the
editor Of the New York Herald:
After a visit to your city I am con-
vfnced that Baltimore girls are much pref
tier than those in New York. 1 will adj
init that the young women Of New York
dress better than our own girls, but the
real American beauties live in Baltimore
Artists to whom was propounded the
inquiry, From what city comes the
prettiest girl2" gave the matter careful
thought. All admitted at the start that
the Baltimore girl was lovely and typ
ical OF the sunny southland, and all
agreed that the New York young wom-
an was the most stylishly arrayed of
all, which is In accord with the views
OF the writer of the above letter.
Arthur l. Keller, whose types of fem
inine loveliness are familiar to readers
Of books md magazines, said that he
was willing to subscribe to the view
that as class Baltimore girls were
beautiful:
while I do not think that the Balti-
more girl represents type Other own
In the SOUTH" said he IL must confess
that 1 admire the southern type more
than 1 do the New York girl. 1 pre-.
fer the creole kind Of beauty. The
1.-the and graceful type which Is seen
In the south has an indefinable charm
Of womanhood. That is the girl
would like to paint. The nose of the
southern girl Is long, that Of the typical
New York girl Is short, and her jaw
Is square. She is splendid, with her
chin up and her naughty air, her tall
form and her square shoulders, but she
does not appeal to me. She Is independ-
ent, and when n man walks with her
he feels as though he were being taken
out.
No one can deny that the New York
girl Is the best dressed in the country.
She Is thoroughly up to date, and her
gowns are strikingly beautiful She
spends more money on her attire prob
ably than does any other woman, and
when she enters some public place,
theater, those who are there turn to
admire her. Yet, In my opinion, she
dresses too lavishly. The attention is
first directed to the gown she wears.
