"A Land of Beauties and Beasts."
A Frenchwoman on leaving the United States last month delivered au opinion on American men and women. She had visited the Giuted States as the agent oi a well-known Parisian firm of ar_-_mak-rs. _n_ sue had ioan_ that thero was very little to teach American women in tbo art of dressing themselves. It may do that tiiis was why—wo are not sure that this sounds reasonable, but perii.ps it is not ntcessary to look for reason in the explanation—she turned on the men and abused them: —"New York is the land of beauties and beasts. Women are wonderful, but men are simply awful. Your men dress like rag-pickers. One sees a. beautifully-gowned woman coming down the Fifth avenue. What is that by her side? —a servant out of livery?" You conclude that it is a ietaineV sent out to protect her from gangsters. He has no moustache, and trousers baggy at the tneos. But it iher husband. . . . The men can be taught nothing for they are impossible."
