| 40. StaIlo II the SON Of Judge J. b.
StAIyo. minister to Italy under Presi-
dent Cleveland. He lives here In New
York ct 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 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.
It 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 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. It 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 1t is that one quality, I
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 EnglishTnan,
though at the same time 1t scares
away his love.
"The Englishman admlres the Amer.
lean girl. He likes to talk to her, to
entertain Der; but to marry her-wby
that Is a dYfiersat matter. He doesn't
understand her.
Natures Are Different
"To trace the cause OF tho 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 tn!

lishpan has been brought up to be

of the house. 1t is his right, he hon

ton would likely point to a chair witt

back in a moment and stalk out o
the room. have seen that happier
time after time in the hotels Of Lor
don, and 1t best illustrates the reasol
of failure Of some supposedly happ
marriages.
AT the same time, Englishmen maj
ried to English women make good nus
bands, and think English wome
i make even better wives than Amer
can women. The English girl is laugh

to travel alone. 1t is that reaso
which makes 1t so hard for an English
man to understand the scores {
American women who yearly spen

their husbands remain at home.
"But as warm as Is the welcome &c
American women In England, 1t onl

given to the American man. The EN-
