What American Girls Lack

The marriage within a year Of these three
rich and socially prominent men, has proved too
much for the mothers of manageable daughters
here, and some of them have declared they are
going abroad TO study the characteristics and
charm Of the European woman. 1t is evident,
say these matchmaking mothers, that something
must be done about It, either our women mus.

less interested in matters outside the home, or we

Concerning a French Wife

Love is the first thing in French woman's
life With the American woman think love is
her second thought, not her first thought The
French woman thinks how she can please tho
man The American woman thinks more Of bust
ness than she does Of love. The Weather ore5
think more Of clothes than they do of romance
More's the pity!
"Of course the women Of the Latin race are
of a very different temperament They are much
warmer in feeling much more sympathetic and
much more romantic. The French women study
how they can please the men they like. That's
how they get them.
THE French woman likes her home too. and
when she is married, she keeps her husband be-
cause she studies his tastes and is sympathetic
with his interests He appreciates this I think
the American women are too cold too much in
terested in other things. sports clothes, business
and clubs to be successful wives"

DAMAGE BY THE FREEZE.

Bridgeville, March 30.-Thc sudden,
and severe cold of Monday night caused
much damage. Some farmers in this
community report that there will be no
peaches, apples or pears, while Others
report about rs per cent of the crop Killed
now. with greater damage expected from
last nights low temperature.
This is n great blow 10 farmers, as many
depend on apples and peaches entirely
for living and many have made little or
nothing in recent years. Much money
has already been spent by farmers IN
spraying their fruit trees, expecting to
get il back from the crops.
The strawberries have been greatly
damaged, but as the plants have hea~'
foliage they are protected more. They are
