THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

Mile. Clare DuCreuN, Traveller, lSC'
turer. writer, and a student of her sex,
held French looking glass before the
American women as represented by
the Alliance Franchise in Chicago on
Tuesday. Following are n few of the
things they discovered therein:
That the American woman is the
happiest woman in the world.
That the American woman is able
to accomplish more because the Amer
lean man not only approves of her
efforts but gives her his aid.
That the American woman, cared
for and independent, is a marvel in
her enegry. her appreciation of time,
and the value she places upon the
inions of others.
That the American woman with her
type as vet uniformed, is one of the
greatest factors in the new civiliza-
tion America is giving the world, and
upon her appreciation OF her oppor-
tuni.ies as an independent factor and
the helper of man depends the
strength or weakness of that ~:viliza-
ton.
The speaker raised the question
whether the American woman realizes
the responsibility of her opportunities.
Because she is the happiest ard most
independent woman in all the world
there rests upon her one of the great
est responsibilities of the time The
American woman is 6 marvel of en-
ergy. IN the amount of work she does
and things she accompanies, in the
manner in which she makes every
moment of time count for itse.f-and
she is able to accomplish more than
the women of any other country be-
cause of the ideal social relations
which exist between man and woman
here in America. Man approves of
her efforts and gives her his aid.
The speaker Went ON TO say:
4 talk of your men but do you wom-
en- realize that these men. giving al,
of their time TO the making of money
to lavish upon you in care and atten.
tions, are losing the very thing you
are gaining2 Do you not see that they
have no time for study and the culture
the American woman is attaining ;
There lies the danger il this Ameri-
can civilization Today because YOU
we all classes there is no American
type.
You have not a greater civilization
in America than We have in Europe.
but YOU are going forward to the time
when America in new civilization
will give the world the greatest it has
known-if the American woman real
ICES her weakness by no discharg-
ing too many OF the duties of life
upon the shoulders OF the American
man. Otherwise you will have the re-
verse of the French and German con
ditions of today, where man IS too
much the peer of woman. and the
American woman herself will break
the equilibrium which must obtain to
make a civilization great. When she
sees the weakness in her point of
strengthen ndepenGence-then and
then only will American vomanhood
reach its highest type.
Mile. Ducreux also spoke of the I'M
married woman in America. declaring
that She, TOO. was far happier than
her unmarried sisters in other coun-
tries. In France the unmarried wom-
an as she grows older LAS nothing
but piety to which she may turn. In
America she grows more Useful with
the years, because she has more lei
sure than her married sisters She
likewise coinplimented American WON
en- upon their appreciation OF the opin-
ion Of others.
