Los Angeles, July 13.-The
Countess Nadia Ostrovska today
packed up preparatory to starting
back home to her dear Paris. She
admitted that she is going back
sadly disappointed" And Ameri-
can men are the cause. She came
all the way from France to look ov-
er what she declares she had been
led to believe would be a race Of
super-men. It was curiosity that
initiated the trip. But now-well,
she tells her own story best.
Your men," she insisted today
with q sigh. have been sadly over
press-agented in Europe. They are
spoiled. The spelling commences
at the cradle when the mothers are
responsible. And later the work is
kept up by the young women who
are willing to pay their cafe bills
for the sake Of having escorts to
tea and dinner dances.
~Grasping" in Business.
In business they are hard and
grasping. expected generosity.
They are more interested in the
baseball scores than in literature
and art. They lack refinement.
They pay little or no attention to
the finer things of life. This lack
Of appreciation of the better things
naturally is reflected in their man
ners. They know nothing of Euro
pean culture, music, literature or
art. They know only the things
that interest them close at home.
sNo Chivalry.n
Your men, despite reports to the
contrary, have no chivalry. They
take too great liberties ON short ac-
Quaintance. They consider thai
they should be entitled to kiss 9
girl merely because she walked
with them across mountain trail
This 1attsr statement brought ur
the question whether she speaks
OF the American man from per
so1Al experience OF only in an i'm
personal manner. There are many
trails in the vicinity of Los Angeles
and there is small doubt that the
I countess has explored southern
California, but whether she did SC
alone or accompanied is a poinl
on which she prefers to be silent.
She's Very Kissable.
A Jury of his peers, however
certainly would acquit any Ameri
can man Of having attempted tc
kiss the countess. Whether on 9
mountain trail or elsewhere she has
all of the beauty that could wei
be bestowed upon one woman, q
