An Austrian gentlewoman who
toured America lately commented IN
a newspaper interview on the beauty
and excellent grooming of American
women in contrast to the ShaDblness
of the men of this country. Her con-
illusions were drawn from an ooser-
walton of the people of wealth who
lived in the cities. but the tendency
she noticed in one class and one sec
ton of the country seems to hoIo
good in the small towns and among
working people as well. The beauty
of the society butterflies is being con-
stantIy praised, and many of the So
ciety girls are pretty, if not by ma
ture, then by art; for they have time
to work themselves over" so to
speak, if their natural endowments
are skinny and they have the money
to pay for advantageous gowning. But
even then, they have not by any
means a monopoly on attractIveness
of appearance. You will see stunning
girls on the early cars going down to
business at 8 O'Clock in the morning,
and a good proportion of them. are
the peers in looks of any set of So
ciety girls in town, and some of them
stand behind a counter from till .,
and serve with equal patience and
efficiency the just and the unjust.
Their street suits are fashionable, neat
and well made. AS for the men,
there are enough exceptions in the
way of the we'll groomed kind to prove
the rule There is a lawyer in this
town-and a good lawyer who makes
plenty of money-whose clothes look
as if he had worn them without an
apron to bake the breakfast gr1ddle
cakes. In summer they give their sus-
penders a vacation and use belt as
a poor substitute. Many OF them
wear woolly winter hats all through
the hot weather, and they all are re-
q saving
repeatable things when they have to
put on a dress suit. The men who
do wear clothes that fit, are suitable
to the weather and pleasing to the eye,
are known as 'dand1es, ana one VINO
ventures to carry walking stick is
nothing less than "bonehead."
