and she has been gone these IL years"
Mr.. Stallo is the son of Judge J. b.
Stallo, minister to Italy under Presi-
dent Cleveland. He lives here in New
York at the Waldorf-Astoria, with his
second wife, who was Mrs. Dan r.
Hanna, wife of the son of the late
Senator Mark Hanna. They were d.
vorced. Mr.. Mcdonald did not take
kindly to his ~son-in-iaw'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 1t Is
here in New York or in Cincinnati.
Mrs. Mcdonald has Just come over
to pay them a visit and she has had
much to say to a 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 W countrywomen ana
the English women for her friends.
but if she is like me she would love
both.
1.-THE American women are beautl-
full, v~ivacious, daring and most enter
tanning. They are excellent company
and they are distinctive. h Eng
lish women are quiet, reserved, prop
ably not quite as pretty, but no less
attractive, steadfast friends and are
themselves distinctive.
THE Englishman admires the Amer
lean girl. He likes to ak to her, TO
entertain her; but to marry her-Why,
that is a different matter. He doesn't
understand her.
Natures Are Different.
"To trace the cause of the trouble
In many of the International alliances
between American girls and English
men that have turned out unhappily
one would need go to the very nature
of the man and woman
"The American woman never looks
to her husband as master, while the!
English woman is taught to do so
from the day of her birth. The Eng
lishman has been brought up to be-
lieve himself the unquestioned head
of the house. 1t is his right, he hon
estly believes, to command. An Amer
lean man, If he would leave his wife
for a moment, would beg to be ex-
cused. An Englishman in a like posi-
ton would likely point to a chair with
the curt command, sit there; I'll be
"a back in a moment and stalk out Of
10 the room.
10 "At the same time, E~nglishmen mar
ried to English women make good hus-
bands, and | think English women
make even better wives than Ameri-
y, can women The English girl is taught
" to love her home. 1t is an ideal for
IS which she is always striving. They
never think of leaving their husbands
e. tv travel alone. 1t ts that reason
81 which makes it SO hard for an English
y man to understand the score of
IS American women who yearly spend
H. months in travelling amroad while
III their husbands remain at home.
n But as warm as is the welcome for
IL American women in England, 1t only
&c equals the GOODNESS of the reception
given to the American man. The Eng
fish frankly dislike him and from their
standpoint it is not hard to understand
ne their reason.
ID THE Englishman neither under
to stands O appreciates the American
do man. They take him for just what he
rs e to them. They see him coarse.
boastful, loud in his talk, unretined
ut and altogether the antithesis of their
IS gentleman.
:. The American Mans Lack Of Polish.
A Mind you, that is the American
lr man as TIE EnSlloAn1oh hhOWo AAA' \
all know him better. I know his rough
Tr. ness is only surface deep, that he Is
mr. generous. but active and keen. That
J. he does lack the polish of the English
re. gentleman must be admitted, and I
es and hundreds of other American won
We en- have often regretted that, at least
It's where polish counted for so much, he
es could not display enough to bring out
nm his good qualities.
1.-THE English people are essential
Ito ly a home people, though the English
cir women love society. During the So
ng cial season l doubt If even the Ameri-
I'D can woman is as fond of her society
re and is as busy in keeping her social
go engagements as the English woman.
,er English society is more artistic
ed than American society, though now
,te there is a tendency, which is to be
lg- deplored, to change the afternoon
Oh. musical tea to an afternoon at bridge
The English tea has newer been
thought complete without the presence
az Of three or four of the very best
or. artists that could be secured. 1t has
in. been this almost universal patronage
wv of art that has made London the great
center in which can be found the
nv most famous artists of the world"
