fun and any gayety they enter into
| 1t 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 heas of the chivalry of the South
ern people, but those in New York
know better how to be cbivalrous.
Here in New York a sirl would soon
forget how to do her own "toting"
Now, about the women? I'm afraid
that ought not to write this, but /
must say that those whom I have
seen impress me as very artificial.
Compared to the women whom l have
seen in the South, they do not seem
to be sincere. But how they do dress!
What style and carriage they havei
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 well say it--they have a hard
look around the mouth and under the
eyes, and l 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. / 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 a wonderful study in
human nature? I 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 neac 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 a 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 its 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
derbilts. Even Mr. Morgan has only
tree or two.
You scarcely have anything green
around the houses to give your eyes
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 l would like to
live here for 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.
