She was amazed at their splendid
healthfulness and fine eyes, aud made
no secret of her opinion that in point
of figure and carriage they far out
stripped the beauties of Europe.
But" she said, they do not know
how to make the most of their attac-
tions. They have no coquetry."
That which La Cavalieri says Amer
lean women lack, she herself has to a
conspicuous degree. She is a mistress
of every accomplishment, every facial
change, every movement. every grace
that will add TO her attraction.
Her eyes are large, soft and brown
Their expression is gentle, and belle a
somewhat aggressive hint conveyed in
the poise Of her head, which is always
carried well back, with the chin up
lifted.
In the depths of her eyes is seen all
the magnetism OF a woman who. II she
willed to use her power wrongly, could
accomplish most any catastrophe
Her eyes were shaded by the most
marvellous pair of eyelashes that droop
to her checks in the occasional times
When she droops her eyes.
Cavalieri has not the brown Italian
skin. Hers is creamy, and she watches
over It with solicitous care. Her IA
vorite bath is hot water, hot as possi
BILE. This she considers the best help

disgust as sticky and unpleasant. She
is afraid OF cold water.
In protecting her 81 200 a night
beauty La Cavalieri has no fixed rules.
She eats sparingly, goes out when she
wants to, takes plenty of exercise ana
a liberal amount of sleep. She also
breaches a proper amount OF work as
an excellent means of keeping the
mind pleasantly occupied and avoiding
the wrinkles that come with care.

1T may or may not be the case that
n races temperament can be judged
from its folk songs" said a traveller on
a transatlantic liner the other day,
but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
o. various peoples.
THE Irishman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
lacy love. Hardly any of his songs
are not addressed to his Somebody
Mavourneen.'
THE Scot, on the other hand, sings
about his country and its history, as a
rule Scots Wha Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes o Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond'
and so on might be taken as examples.
"The Englishman, 1t is interesting
to note, sings about himself all the
time. His songs are about his own
glory, his ships, his men, his power.
lie refers occasionally to old England,
but only as a place to be made famous
by his own prowess. Unlike the Irish
and the Scot, he sings little of his
women and his countrys beauties"
What about the American asked
a New Yorker who was present.
"'The new American, as far as have
observed" replied the traveller, sings
the songs of the country he was born
in. The old American, with all re-
spect to you, sir, seems to sing almost
exclusively of the things he hates

Then she was transplanted to the

WOMEN CONDUCTORS.
Their Employment in Chilean Town
Attend Well to Their Work.

Attend Well to Their Work.
The most remarkable feature Of the
Valparaiso street car system is It's
conductors; they are women, says the
Los Angeles Times.
The sex is also employed in like ca
pacity in Santiago and all the other
cities of Chile that have horse or
electric trans. This practice sprang
into being at the time of the revolution
of 1891, when men and money were
scarce and women plentiful. Having
apparently given satisfaction to their
employers during the intervening
years they are still retained.
The first women conductors were
said to have been young and pretty
and to have been dressed i'm natty uni
forms. Tradition even goes further
and says that at that time youth and
good looks were part of the ZEN
trance requirements" In the light of
the present this seems hard to be-
lieve. 1t is also recorded that after a
while the natty uniforms were
dropped and It is just possible that
The apochryphai youth and beauty"
clause was stricken out at the same
time.
To-day, judging from what | have
seen in a somewhat painstaking sur
vey of the situation, | would say that
the possession Of youth and beauty,
far from being a requirement, was now
the means of earning a fiat disqualifi-
cation. The customary dress Of lazy
tram conductor of to-day is a broad
brimmed clouch hat, a short jacket
with the sleeves turned back an inch
or two and a short black skirt, always
hanging with a heavy port or star
board list.
They are neither firtetiouc nor pru-
dish, and no scandals are heard about
them. To a foreigner II is an inter
esting sight to observe the street car
girl, to note how capably she man
ages her car, and the quiet, business
like way in which she goes through
the routine of collecting fares, giving
change, discharging passengers and
seeing that the rule regarding the
number admitted is not broken.

1t is seen to be the very perfection of
feminine beauty. Her arms are per-

shoulders would fit the dream of a
Sculptor. "a Cavalieri attributes the
faUltless throat to the fact that she
never mules up.
Most singers keep the throat COW

1t bare, even in the winter time. Her
furs never cross It, and in the coolest

ship continued to culver While ev-
cry one was wondering whG the ship
had run against the pilot came on
board and told of the great earth
quake. Soon the clouds of smoke also
spoke of the es raging in the
doomed city. The next day fugitives
began to come on board and during
the following ten days about $50 per-
sons were daily fed. Then the steam
er started homeward.
On Aug. is she was anchored In the
harbor of Valparaiso. II was after
supper and the captain lay on his sofa
reading, when suddenly the ship was
shaken so violently that the captain
was tossed up and glasses fell from
the cupboards TO be shattered on the
floor The first officer was shouting:
Earthquake Another earthquake!"
The ship continued TO move up and
down so violently that one could not
stand. Then there was a pause, fol-
lowed by other earthquakes.
Looking landward, a terrible sight
presented itself The city was in
ruins and the cries of the people,.
mingled with the dismal howlings OF
the dogs, lent additional terror to the
sight of the city burning in twenty
