An Englishwoman on Her American Sisters.
Mrs. Lieutenant-General* Packenham, who recently sailed for England with her distinguished husband, is evidently a very observing if not a cynical woman. A friend asked her, during a dinner at the Brnn3wick, how she liked America.
" On the whole, very much, but I find that my sex, more than the men, take their social coloring from their respective neighborhoods. Your Southern women, as a rule, are gentle, retiring,. and refined, and it's a pleasure to be in their society. Western women are pronounced, and possess a chic that savors of their rapid growth. Your Bostonian understands what she dosen't admire, and your Now Yorker admires what she doesn't understand. It's a very kaleidoscopic country, I assure you,"
