The Great American Woman.

A French literary woman and so
biologist studying the big cities of
America tells US that our civilization
will be the best the world has ever
seen, because of the influence Of ~"
American woman on our educate.
system and our club life
1t is always pleasant to hear i.
things about ones own, and the Ameri-
can man is more easily and surely fiat
tered by praise of his wife and daugh-
tiers than by any other method Of
course, we know that the American
woman is the finest of her sex, but
it is not every day that her European
sister will admit it.
The European man has always
known her superiority, and the num-
Der of Americas wives in European
homes is proof of his good judgment
On the other hand. it is an encourag-
ing sign of growing appreciation of
the American man that real. titled
aristocrat from the old world has
found the man of her heart in Balti-
more.
Who knows but one of these days
we shall have princesses and duchesses
and all that sort of thing in our best
society, keeping up the drawing room
while the plain American husband pro
duces the shekels to do the keeping?
A vast amount of American money has
gone to Europe with American brides.
and it is no more than fair that
foreign title or two should come to
this country to even up.
Earls anG dukes bolster up their
family fortunes with American wives
and moeey. so why shouldn't European
ladies of title take husbands from our
great American nobility to maintain
them in dignity suitable to their rank

ton being. do husbands support their
wives" Rev. Anna Shaw said that
they do not. but that in this semi

States the title to the children rests.
not in the mother, but in the father.
Women cannot legally possess their

The West Philadelphia woman who
was the envy of her neighbors last
summer by virtue Of her vegetable :,ar-
den in her small back yard, which kept
her table well supplied for month,
has again stepped into the limelight.
This clever woman has succeeded In
raising several kinds of vegetables in
Hover pots and boxes OF earth inside
her house.
Already she has raised several stalks
of asparagus from roots, and her fam
lily is enjoying the luxury of green as
paragus. while their friends and neigh
bors are eating canned goods. Radish-
es. too, have grown indoors for lhis
amateur trucker, and now, made ambi-
tious by her successes, this woman is
going to plant some lima beans and
peas.
The care of her indoor vegetable
garden is not wearing, for the West
Philadelphia woman, to gain time, has
simply cut down her usual list Of pot
ted plants and devoted her time to more
practical growing things.-Philadelphi

Red Hair and Consumpuon.

A German physician declares that
red-haired persons are more suscepti-
BILE to consumption than dark-haired
people. Some other types, like Scandi-
nayians, who, as n rule, are blonde.
when transplanted from the healthy
agricultural sections of their native
country TO the congested districts of
large cities. offer less resistance to con-
sumption than do native born citizens.
Many blondes. however, have remark
able powers of resistance against con-
sumption, while many brunettes offer
relatively little resisting power This.
he says, is due to racial susceptibility
and change in environment.
