AMERICAN WOMEN.

(By Rosalie Lambert.)

Here’s to our American xvoman, The brightest in the land, And may he ba a "Prince of Gods’* The chap xvho wins her hand.. At Die summer resorts this season there has been a continual round of gaiety, and visitors to the seashore are wending their way home, and now that “milady” is hoane-oo'miing. .with tan cheeks and a well-used up wardrobe, her attention xvill be directed towards replenshing a winter outfit, and softening up a parched, sunburnt skin. Some have made many conquests, some announcements will be made and some might well exist in the dreams of their coquetish flirtations, until Diet gaiety of the winter season is on in full blast. Tho American society girl has almost become a globe-trotter, since at these resorts. she hais had the pleasure of meeting “Prince Russia,” ‘‘French Monsieur” and “Sir British,” when a trip abroad completes the first chapter of ail interesting novel Avith pen pictures, done in life. American girls are all that can be desired. charmingly pretty, well gowned, modest, sxveet tempered, intellectually bright, xvith sturdy health, and- a xveil laden purse. What xv-onaer then, that •our impoverished -foreign cousins, with all else gone but a siliaky title with a dark countenance, would put -bags into their knees, bending and seeking the hand of the xvoman that heaven, might give,—our American belle? Around her the air is filled with electric currents warmed by human passion, that inspires tho ardent lover, or the fortune hunter.
