men are never weary of portraying our
women as forward. sharp-voiced buttin-
skis in skirts-theres no other word for
It. Our American women. according to
the English view. have no manners what
ever. They have no thought on earth
for anything except clothes and luxurious
living.
They neglect their children, fiout their
husbands. They all say, Wall, reckon,
and Dew tell and " betcha life' and

open their mouths. They are rasp-voiced,
they are bOiSterous in public; they are, in
word. according to the constantly ex-
pressed and publicly expressed view of
the English, simply out and out half
civilized vulgarfans.
There is a regularly organized con-
spiracy, it seems. among all American
girls whose fathers have made their

British nobility as husbands. Let no

The English would thousand times pre-
fer their noblemen to marry English bar
maids than American girls. They not
only feel this; they say it. I have seen
that statement printed in so-termed high
grade English publications, not once, but
several times.
THE American girl, then. according to
tnelr conceive view, IS Sklrted bOOr, or
boorine, to coin a word.
"The American is looked upon by the
English as common or garden variety Of
the out and out dolt. Having no soul
above the acquisition of dollars, he is.
therefore, too thick witted to understand
or appreciate how 'abominably' he is
treated by his wife and children. He
isn't master in his own house. He is a
slave to the caprices of his vulgar wife
and the whimS of his daughters. He
doesn't dare tell his own family that his
soul is his own. Everything that the
women of the family say goes with him.
He is SO feeble-minded that he permits
them to go rambling about Europe. spend

at home for the purpose OF making daily
or semi-daily remittances to them. And
