German Education.
The German girls are beginning to complain with considerable bitterness that American and English girls are encroaching upon their preserves. Very many Americans and English send their daughters to be educated. The pretty dears not' only master the language in a short time—quite as quickly and as easily as they make conquests of the hearts of the susceptible German officers. The number of army officers in Germany with American and. English wives is very large, and ths fad seems to be increasing. In Dresden, particularly, the English and Americans are in great demand, the native madchen (be she ever so pretty) seems to|have no chance at all. In Berlin there is a fancy for a peculiar style of feminine beauty ; the Berliner admires dark eyes and hair and a dark, clear complexion; these features argue amiability, fidelity, and gentle breeding.
