"In spite of its annual loss in
administering Curacao. Holland
holds on to it, largely because
she, cannot let it go. The United
States has never shown any de-
sire to purchase the island. and
the Monroe doctrine probably
would not sanction its transfer to
any other power.
Curacao is governed by an
official sent over by the queen of
Holland, assisted by appointed
councillors. Holland frankly is
not interested in ultra democracy
and though the negroes of the is
land were freed in 1861 they do
not vote"

AMERICAN MEN GALLANT.
Globe Trotter Says We Are Wonderful
to Our Own Womenfolk.

Paris women wear their clothes bet
ter than any other women in the
world.
American women are more beautiful
and dress more extensively; but no
women in the world possess the chic
which characterizes the French woman
OF fashion.
English men wear their clothes with
more class than the men OF other
countries.
American men do not wear their
clothes SO that their dress seems part
of them, as do the English.
Italy furnishes the most romantic
men. All an Italian needs to make
love is moonlight and music.
English men are the most courteous
American men are the most gallant.
Nowhere on earth docs the man live
who is so thoughtful, SO wonderful and
so generous to womenfolks as right
here in the United States.
Frenchmen have the politest lan-.
guage and the worst manners of any.

These are the Impressions gained
by San Francisco woman during a

Iv every country and observede the

It's difficult to speculate on just
what American women viii think of
