American Girls and Titles.

The responsibility for the present
humiliating slave trade in which rich
American girls are sold to the titled
decadents of England and the CONT.
nent is almost wholly the fault Of the
men Of this country. This opinion is
offered only after years Of observa-
ton and consideration Of our social
conditions and after a pathological
study Of American men. Their open
establishment and chagrin at this phe-
nomenon would be vastly amusing
were it not so pathetic. Our men have
a helpless inability to see themselves.
Nor is the responsibility Of the mother
lost sight of, for the foSsign sutton be-
gins with her, as he does in Europe.
She is the outer citadel which must
first succumb to his studied charm.
This outer citadel is carried with as
tonishing ease, as he quickly discovers,
and for three reasons. The mother is
easily dazzled; her social foundations
do not go down deep in the class to
which she almost invariably belongs;
her husband has made every dollar Of
the lure of those millions without
which there would not be this problem
to solve. Second, the women who see
what given man really is, who esti-
mate him at all justly, who begin even
to understand mems social standards
either in this country or Europe, are
rare indeed.
The American mother usually is
clearly out of her depth at the start,
as unfit as a child to counsel her
daughter. She is not equipped for 1t.
1t is not her work.
In the third place must be considered
that subtle relationship of sex which
European men Of any age always have
the art Of establishing with a woman
of whatever age, their attention, their
quick courtesy toward women, their
habit Of listening absorbedly when a
woman speaks-all this is so absolute
ly new to the American mother that
she becomes hypnotized by it and can
no longer distinguish truth from fall
sity or a mere national point Of Ell /
quette from a personal thoughtfuiness
and delicate tenderness Of feeling.
