The Berlin " Kreuvzeit.ung," quoting " the poet's dictum " that " the child is father to the man," ventures further. and declares that the women cf every nation indicate the chaz"£cter of its people: '' A careful study of the Frenchwoman reveals the fact that her love end'urcs no longer than until the end of the honeymoon, and this immorality and instability of the womon find their counterpart in the frivolity and flippancy of the men. '• Tile French mother lends her daughter to the ball, which is only another way of saying that the way to conquer a Fren-h'fi-eater is to pander to his innate frivolity.

" The <rirl kills her lover out of jealously, the Frenchwoman murder her rival, the Englishwoman, true to her race, takes comnmsntion for the loss of her love -n nouudc <;tc-'iuo;: while the German woman m.vries the first man wlvo nsk« h~r resigns, herself to any fate he nay bring her."
