Ideas Of Average American About
Her Based on Ignorance of Facts.

Aueas OF Average American ABbuN
Her Based on Ignorance of Facts.
London, Jan. 1.-THE marriage of Paul
Patten. son of Charles H Patten,
wealthy owner of the Palatine Bank, at
Palatine. H.. TO Miss Dolly Powell, a bar
maid at ROmano's restaurant, in the
Strand, although reported to have been
resented by the bridegToom's family, is
no surprise here. where other barmaids
have made matches even more eligible.
Dolly is a rather remarkable woman,
having an extensive knowledge of Shakes
peare. Herbert Spencer, and other au-
thors not usually cultivated by barmaids,
and is likely TO make young Patten, who
is only twenty-three years of age,
loving and devoted wife
The barmaid is an institution unknown
in America, and it IS, therefore, not sur
prising that Americans who stay at home
have but vague and generally mistaken
Ideas of her. As a rule, she is regarded
as of vulgar type. and the opinion pretty
generally obtains that, owing to her en-
vironments and associations, her morals
are not Of the highest standard.
There never was greater mistake. Be
sides being invariably pretty, often beau
tiful. the average baTmaid is we'll edu-
cate0, Well read Wen Dre0, polite, ana
vivaciOus. AS q rule, she is a charming
conversationalist, and her knowledge Of
current topics is by no means limited to
the bar As for her morals. they com
pare favorably with those of any other
type of English girl-whether In store,
factory. or farmland there is nothing in
her environments or associations calcu-
lated to injure her reputation.
On the contrary, the presence Of a girl
behind the bar compels common polite
ness and decency among its patrons, and
there are few offenders against the strict
rule that propriety be always maintained
Scores of baTmaids have married into
wealthy families, for invariably the bar
maid comes Of intelligent parents and
knows how to conduct herself and her
business with credit to both.
