rh. Church Parades Of sexico.


 Writing in Harper's for May of re- cent return to Mexico after an absence of twenty years. MT. Thomas A. Jan- yier describes delightfuiiy the many wonderful changes in the City of Mex ico.
 "seriously disconcerting was my dis covery, on my first Sunday. that the church parade on San Francisco--an ancient institution of the capital--had lost ita most entrancing distinction from church parades elsewhere. In the days that are dear to my memory, the ornate youth of the city lined up against the house fronts--with the look of uncapped caryatides---and along the narrow pavement in front of them the ladies of the city streamed homeward from the churches in seemly black or a richness and wearing on their heads black lace mantillas: a garb in which the plainest of women becomes be- witehment, and that so ravishingly en- hanees the beauty of a beautiful wo- man as to make her seem landfall in tba latitude of dreamsi The parade still geos on. The young men stilI stand in their caratid row; and still Avery handsomely I think, under the existing conditional look, and even sneak. their admiration as the ladies still stream past them-but the ladies no longer wear black, and their grace giving mantiIlas are gone! To their undoinR they are, clad in silks of dy- mamie colorings. not always harmon ized; and upon their unhappy heads are the hideously huge hats of the period and the result of casting aside beautiful racial dress for an ugly pass ing fashion Is so disastrous that to comment upon 1t would be not less un- gallant than unkind. To ind the wo- men of Mexico thus helping m the nap Ices work of uprooting ancient customs "and fin A manner SO conspicuousiy to their own disadvantage-was my most oain fuI hloW."

AMERICAN WOMEN

AMERICAN WOMEN
 DISCUSSED IN LONDON. A London cablegram says that the Society of American Women in London the other day invited Dr. Emil Reich that philosopher of the fashionables- to expound his views on the American woman at meeting in the Hotel Ce- | ell.
 Dr. Reich has a comprehensive way of shredding the individualism of the audiences which have collected Of late at Claridge's Hotel, and leaving some
 listeners with a Reichian view Of the
 universe, which to minds untrafned to
 unconventionalism. swiftly becomes absurd
 In the case of the Americans, howev- CT, he met a number of shrewd and
 cultivated women on their own ground, and discoursed on subject with
 which, we may take 1t, they were thor
 oughly familiar. While admiring tho beauty and equipment of the modern American wo- man, he assumes that she has lost some finer qualities in achieving greatness woman as having established the con- tingent of America; the wives of the settlers in the eighteenth century as the disciverers of tho West; the cross ing of the Alleghenies as having been conceived by the women and not the men of America
 This conquering spirit he sees some what sadly carried to excess in the modern American woman, so that he finds her less human--less sympathetic evidently-.than she ought to be. It was pleasure to mo that Mrs. Squire Potter immediately pointed out one sympathetic quality in American women which is not exhibited with the same generous extfavagance in any other country in the world. That is the generosity of women to women. This fact should have been glad to see adorning pr. Reichs string of wild
 hammered compliment. since 1t struck me as being the truest picture of the American woman received on that af- ternoon.
 I should have liked him also to have pointed out that the helpful American husband, with the inimitabie domestic qualities, sometimes shrugged at by foreigners. Is also result of the pio- neering difficulties of the early days
 rather than the design of the modern moment
 The present undomesticated English woman. with the unhelpfnl husband considered so typical of England. Is
 result of generations of finely trained
 servants--just as the present resource
 fulness of all American women Is due partly to pioneering, and more espec-
 ial1y to the infamous inaptitude or the
 American help. have still to dfscov-
 CT where the Toss in human qualities''
 occurs in American women.
 Unless. indeed, 1t is in the periodic
 loss of the non-traveling husband,
 whom Mrs. Webster Glynes, on 'he
 same afternoon, described as being
 content to cultivate the fine arts by proxy, by sending his wife and dauBh- ters to do Europe for him. Surely some day the cultured women of America will produce sons Of sucn artictic seriousness that "art by proxy
 will be insufficient for them. In the
 meantime, according to Mrs. Glynes.
 the men glory in martyrdom whose halo thy would not exchange for ducai coronets.
