fun and any gayety they enter into

fun and any gayety they enter into
it all with such spirit. They stop
at nothing. They have such an air Of
knowing all about life; their manners
are perfect; they are so bright and
up to date, and their conversation is
always interesting and entertaining.
You hea.; of the chivalry of the South
ern people, but those in New York
know better how to be chivalrous
Here in New York Sirl would soon
forget how to do her own "toting."
Now, about the women? I'm afraid
that l ought not to write this, but
must say that those whom I have
seen impress me as very artificial.
Compared to the women whom | have
seen in the South, they do not seem
to be sincere. But how they do dress!
What style and carriage they have!
How we'll they wear their clothes,
and what an air of distinction! A
New York woman would be known
anywhere.
Hard Look About the Mouth.
The expression of the faces Of New
York women, although l cannot ex-
actly describe it, is something which
one is not likely to forget. Well
may as we'll say it-they have hard
look around the mouth and under the
eyes, and | have not seen many OF
| them who looked really happy. |
think that one coming from the West
or South might learn in two or three
| months to dress like the women of
New York, and probably in a year or
so she would get that same express
sion 1t is something that one seems
| to feel, but it is hard to define or de-
scribe. l don't know that l care for
it, and would not care to have my
| friends look that way.
1t is very interesting to watch
thousands Of faces which you have
never seen before and will never see
again. 1t is different from some of
| the little towns in the South that |
! know, where you know everybody
and everybody knows you, and loves
you. Is it not wonderful study in
human nature? | rather like it.
How you New Workers have re-
duced living to a science! You GER
tainly do know how to live. The city
is so spick and span and smart. You
can see it in the hotels, little and big,
where there is always such system
and such a neat and expeditions way
of doing things. Why, the house
keeping of these great inns of yours
Is Just marvellous. They took us
through the Waldorf-Astoria the 9TH
er night from cellar to roof garden.
The kitchen was certainly delight.
Everything was shining and bright.
saw them making little automobiles
out Of almond paste and ice cream
and nesselrode pudding, but they
didn't have any corn pone or any
beaten biscuit in the whole house.
| No Green Anywhere.
How big and clean and shiny the
whole city is with it's tall skyscrapers
without a speck on them, just as
though they were busted every morn
ing, and the great apartment houses
which look as If they were washed all
over every night.
But how close together you all
live. Down South we like to have
large lawns and here you haven't
anything like that, not even the Van
dorbilts. Even Mr.. Morgan has only
a tree or two.
You scarcely have anything green
around the houses to give your eyes
a rest. We girls like to get out in
the yard under the trees, where we
can have tea and talk.
New York is a wonderful place
and sometimes | feel that if | had a
great deal of money | would like to
live here for a while, and then again
am not SO very sure of it. All the
same, must say that it certainly is
a charming locality.-New York Her.
