American Women Tco Thin.

American women are too thin.
They should rest and grow fat. Then
they will be beautiful
Thus saith the Prince Towfk OF
Syria, whose genoa 'ogicll ucc is SO
old that its roots are in Eden, and
its branches are laden with the
names Of Abraham and Noah and
their families.
The Prince-or. as he prefers to
be called, since in Syria the greatest
nobility is that of educational prefer
ment-Dr. Tewhk Bolama, NJ. d., is
in New York City and has in the
month Of his sojourn had sufficient
time to look around and see our wom-
en-. Therefore his remarks about
them is no baphazard, jrg5t-off-the
ship affair, but the result of a studied
observation
In Syria" he says, "fatness in a
woman is a mark of beauty The
most beautiful face is that which Is
round and full, like the moon in her
glory. American women are very
charming, of course, but they would
be far more beautiful If they would
achieve little more flesh. Flesh
.presupposcs rest, contentment peace
.or mind and ease of conscience.
None but the contentcd can be fat
therefore those who are not fat must
be discontented. which is a bad at.
tribute in a man or a woman. We OF
the East like the woman who is con-
tented and peaceful and shows it in
her fat. We are also fond of what you
Americans look upon as blemishes-
little black m, cs, for instance, on a
woman's face. There is nothing that
adds so to a womans attractiyeness
according to our Syrian standards,
as a black mole. Poets have raved
over them, and the young men of our
country idolizc the girl who boasts
one or more Of these little black sen
tinels of her beauty.
Another thing about America is
its great love for titles. In my coun-
Try where titles are older than in the
arlstocracy of any nation in the
world, elsewhere, not even ceclrding
Japan, the highest title tina. man
can nave is that coming f''n educa-
ton, such as LII. D., NJ. d., or Ph. d.
The misunderstanding girl in Syria
does not value a man because he is
prince, but because he has done
something in the way of profession
to distinguish him from the others.
Yet America is looked upon as so
much more democratic than Syria.

MIR. LEWIS WRITES OF
 WEDDING IN LA MADELEINE

Paris, June 24.-I made mention of a wedding we accidentally saw in La Madeleine. that famous church of Eu- rope. taking place in notoriety with Notre Dame, and St. Paul's in London and others. One would never accept it as a church; 1t has the appearance of some public building. I should believe it a copy of the old Greek Temples. the Pantheon for instance. Our court house before the vandal spirit of inn provement took us, was of that order and was the stateliest building in Montgomery Now it is ridiculous Those puny zinc columns replaced the grand ones, the capitals of which are now being used for vases in the yard.
 For the wedding a carpet was laid from the curb to the door of La Made Ieine. The approach is two flights and a level space. Half way at the center stood two tall men in gorgeous dress, a cooked hat with rosettes and ribbons: a red coat cut like those school geog- raphies clothe the immortal George. who lacked but one attribute for per feet conference.-the inability to lie knee brooches of blue. white stockings and low cut patent leather shoes. In their left hands they carried canes with large gold heads exactly like a drum majors baton; in their right hands they held over the shoulder long gilded , halberts-an axe and pike with a handle between.
 When the door was opened these two
