WOMEN OF EUROPE
"Of the women OF Europe can only say
that all OF them vie with the women OF
tn. United States. You can pick out tho |
American woman in any part OF the world |
no matter how great the crowd in which |
she nilngles. she dresses better; has |
confidence and Is better equipped IN gem
eral TO mix with European society thar |
far better dressers than the French, who. |
az n rule, oyerio tho thing. They over
dress for nearly every occasion. The Eng
lish have the same weakness. The Ger
mans have no style or carriage
1T IS just now fashionable 20 be an /
American on the other side. English |
women pose az Americans. They KNOW
they wifi be treated better II the deception /
IL carried on successfully. This is par |
tlculariy the case in Germany. wher. |
Americans are shown every consideration 4
since the return OF Prince Henry from his 1
visit 10 tho United States. He brough, |
home glowing accounts OF the new world Il
10 the people Of his country and since
then especial attention has been paid 10 /
the comfort OF Americans by hotel keep
ers and those with whom tourists come 4
into contact
Il regret 20 say. though. that the Ger
man press is treating our Exposition VERY
unfairly. The newspapers TEEN with col /
ufnns OF reading matter derogatory 20 tho /
Worlds Fair. To illustrate, I need only
say that On the steamship Bluecher. On /
which We came over. there was a party |
Of seven who are here to visit the Fair /
These seven are members OF the Alpine /
Club, whose membership exceeds 100 L
and extends TO all parts OF the German /
"0f this s5.o0o Just seven member, an
fwered the call 70 make the trip TO 81,
Louis. SO fierce has been the attack AT
times that q really made me heartsick TO
pick up German newspaper"
