| dent Cleveland He lives here in New
York at the Waldorf-Astoria, with his
| second wife, who was Mrs. Dan Il.
Hanna, wife of the son of the late
Senator Mark Hanna. They were di-
vorced. Mr.. Mcdonald did not take
kindly to his son-in.law's second mar
| riage.
In London the two pretty Stallo
| girls stay at the home of Mrs. James
Mcdonald, wife of the London repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil and one
of their nearest relatives. Mrs. Nc
| Donald is one of the smartest Anglo
Americans in all England and enter
tains lavishly, but in excellent taste.
But none of this for her young guests.
| 1t is the simple life in London as it is
here in New York or in Cincinnati.
Mrs. Mcdonald has just come over
| to pay them visit and she has had
much to say to writer for the World
Magazine concerning Anglo-American
marriages and the American girl
abroad.
"london Loves the American Girl"
London loves the American girl
said Mrs. Mcdonald at the st. Regis,
"but the American maxwell, he is
only tolerated 1t would be hard for
an American woman to have to choose
between her own countrywomen and
the English women for her friends,
but if she is like me she would love
both.
THE American women are beauti-
full, vivacious, daring and most enter
tanning They are excellent company
and they are distinctive. The Eng
lish women are quiet, reserved, prob
ably not quite as pretty, but no less
attractive, steadfast friends and are
themselves distinctive.
THE average American girl is blase
almost before the English girl is ready
to leave school, The English girl never
leaves her governess and home before
she is is, while at the same age the
American girl has seen much of the
world
Yet the American girl retains her
vivacity and her interest in every
thing, and it is that one quality,
think, above all others that makes her
so dear to the English woman. 1t is
that quality that certainly wins for
her the admiration of the Englishman
though at the same time it scares
away his love.
THE Englishman admires the Amer
lean girl. He likes to talk to her, to
entertain her; but to marry her-why
that is different matter He doesn't
understand her.
Natures Are Different.
"To trace the cause of the trouble
in many of the international alliance:
; between American girls and English
men that have turned out unhappil!
5 one would need go to the very nature
!. of the man and woman.
/ THE American woman never look

lishman has been brought up to be

estly believes, to command. An Amer

l ton would likely point to chair will

! time after time in the hotels of Lon
r don, and it best illustrates the reasol
of failure of some supposedly happ,
e marriages.
t "At the same time, Englishmen mar
e ried to English women make good hus
n bands, and / think English womel
/ make even better wives than Amer
e can women. The English girl is taugh
e to love her home. 1t is an ideal fo

k never think of leaving their husband
h to travel alone. 1t is that reaso
J. which makes it so hard for an English
p man to understand the scores @
American women who yearly spen

their husbands remain at home.
But as warm as is the welcome 70
American women in England, it onl
q equals the coolness of the receptio
!. given to the American man. The Ems
n lish frankly dislike him and from thei
n standpoint it is not hard to understan
g their reason.
1.-The Englishman neither undel

g appears to them. They see him coarse
boastful, loud in his talk, unrefine
