DtiTsreno) Between Rich and Poor.
In the poorer classes, where our American
cirls ar oblleed to work and endure the Buffer
inns of poverty, they can feel for others. There
fore It la not unusual to see one of thorn giving
a few pennies to a poor beggar or lending a poor
blind man a helping hand. But in the richer
class It la seldom, Terr seldom, that we ee a rich
girl taorillolng .her bag of bonbo" to n ntray

Three Distinct Types.
To my mind the American girl has been sadly
disused. She is of three dlatinot uatnrea the
loud, coarse flirt: the coquettish, fashionable
doll, and the sensible. Intelligent girl. It has
bjen my faTorcd lot to meet more of the latter.
They aro worth cultivating, and are fit for any
Stan, I don't care who he is. Of the former ones
Ihave but one thing to say avoid them.
U. B,
Keen mnd Cutting Harcasm.
I utterly deny the claim of the American young
nan, that hla American girl is the very ideal of
perfection. Ills foreign neighbor has the ad
rantage of him, as ho can compare. Well, his
foreign neighbor, after a sixteen yearn' close,
study of the American girl, beliovoa her to bu a
rentable sham, and he begs humbly to append
a few of the reasons:
Your American girl is not lovable, and no man
ever, I believe loves her slnocrcly. Hlio loves
no one. She would consider it a weakness. Hlio
baa a flimsy regard for the object chanirealilo
at a day's notice which is her guiding star in
matters of the heart. She, howter, instantly
becomes enamored of him that hath a purse and
the wherewithal. She drenscth. not to bo be
loved therefor, but to show forth her giddy ver
lability, Bhe readeth not, thinketh not. and all
intellectual effort is an abomination unto her.
Blie hath no music in her soul she singcthnot
and when she playeth it is the air of some snub
nosed composer of Germany, such a jargon of
odiously discordant sounds as sadden and dis
tress the soul. She cxeelleth as a chatterbox. I
grant ye, rivalling all orcation In shallow non
sense. She Is utterly Godless, and it is ques
tionable if she says a pra er between youth and
old ago. She is a decidedly dangerous article
for a wife, and great is his risk who trusteth
her. Bib.
A Beautiful Tribute.
The typical American Girl from childhood
thirsts for knowledge. Bhe is the personifies
tion of all that is noble and beautiful. I find
her devout in her religious duties, and without
ostentation practising real charitv. Her innate
independence lends nn indescribable charm to
her modest, ladylike deportment. Khe is
equally at borne in tho ball-room or the sick
chamber ; in the one like a star, irradiating this
sublunary spere with the sparkle of her wit and
beauty, and in the other
When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering angel thou I
In business, painstaking, shrewd and ambi
tious. In private life the acme of perfection,
fcalng-a good daughter and devoted wife. Her
anlts are very venial and appear but as specks
upon a fair horizon and are soon dispelled by tho
unbeams of her love. In short :
' Bhe rules the Senate, camp and grove,
Makes home Elysium, and by her love
Guide erring man to realms above 1
" TutrroLxiiUfl. " 140 Park Bow, New York.
Bays She la a Crank.
Bhe is one who will do almost anything to
further her own Interests, caring little or noth
ing for the feelings of others than herself. Sho
is a chronio crank, always dissatisfied ;unless
some young man is spending his hard-earned
wages for her enjoyment She is invariably all
that is sweet when talking to you, but in her con
versations about you, be snre it is not compli
mentary. Her principle delights are receptions
and her dress, and to see how many of the
young men she can captivate to be thrown aside
at will. Very few are there who hiive not these
faults, and still fewer who can lay claim to a
thorough knowledge of the duties which it is
necessary she should know in order to properly
fultil the position of a wife and mother.
C. G. H.
Ae Near Perfection as Possible.
To begin with, the peiBonal beauty of the
American girl is universally acknowleged whero
ver she may go, and in these days of travel sho
goei all over the world. Bhe is also renowned
for her mental superiority. The girls of other
nations may be as finely educated, but they can
not aoquiro the ready wit, tho aplomb under all
circumstances and in all society that is natural
'"to the American girl. The true American girl
is ready of wit. never coarse, bright, sparkling,
able to hold her own with prince or peasant,
er ant or philosopher. She is courteous to all; at
ease In the drawing-room.useful In the sickroom,
a gooddaugbtor and a devoted wife. She lias a
chio and a dash of manner that never invites
and will not brook undue familiarity. In her
toilet the American girl in distinguished from all
nations, combining in her diess the solid com.
fort of the English oostumes, with the taste of
the French. The American girl 1b truly Ameri
can and proud of the fact. Bhe comes as near
.perfection as any man can desire, indeed, the
men of foreign countries seem to appreciate
them at well as their oompatriots.
B. N. W., ir.
Slanderous.
Bhe Is a most uncouth and ill-bred being, con
sisting of paint and powdor, hair-dressing,
aheap trinkets, Ac, and only lit to be kept in a
ehus case. I don't see what Englishmen are
thinking of to ohoose an American, when they
come from the midst of the moat perfect type of
women. Youno Bachelob.
Unsurpassed Girl Interior Wife.
Every nation regards its own women as the
finest; therefore, praise of the Amerloan girl by
Americans Is both natural arid patriotic Tet It
Is only by comparing her with gitla of other
countries that we can estimate her trueworah.
Intelleotuallv, alio Is tho equal of any. Bhe has
all the grace of the Frenchwoman, but is less
plqnant and less artlatio. beceuao she does not
understand the value of simplicity. Her beauty
Is more reflned in type than. the English,
woman's, though hr skin Is leas white and trans,
parent and she is less healthy Tjeoanie she is
leas athletic, She ia an excellent conversation
allst and qulok at repartee, though neither so
good-natured nor so .witty as the Irish airL
After marriage sho is inferior as a houaowife to
the German, makes a poor nurae and worae
cook. Bhe loves her children, but either spoils
them or Intrusts their care to others. However
democratic in origin, she is more or less aristo
cratic at heart. If poor, she prefers to be a
'saleslady." Hhould she marry an Englishman
of position, instead of converting him to Anier.
icatiism she becomes a " Primrose Dame " and
nut-Toriea the Tories in her devotion to rank.
To sum up. the American girl Is unsurpassed,
perhaps unequalled. The American wife and
mother leaves many things to desire.
Cosmopolitan.
"JncU'e" Hnrsli Words.
If you only could trust her, if she cared lei
for dress and the streets and more for home, if
sho were more feminine and Icbs affected; if, in
fact, she knew less of the world and more of the
kitchen, the vaat army of New York ahopglrls
would be somewhat depleted. I am acquainted
with probably a hundred shopgirls In New York
and Brooklyn, and I am sorry to say that there
is not one among them that I would choose tor
a wife, and I amlooklng for a victim. Jack,

Charmingly Paradoxical.
Bhe is the social Siamese-twin of American
civilization. Hers is a dual type of individual
ity. Her very inconsistencies plaoe her a gem
beyond price and her kaleidosoopio character
beyond all philosophical analysis. She is a dip
lomatic paradox abroad, a delightful realism at
homo. Ohameleou-hued in nature, by reason of
her coamopolltan environments, yet without a
shade of sham. Bho ia at once the tailor
made, tuttl-lrutti girl of the period and
the most hclf-iellant, spunkiest, spiciest bundle
of nerves on God's giocu footstool. The idol of
tho dudo to-day. the enslaver of tho snob to
morrow, the masher of his "royal nib" the
next, she's alike the lllsinarck of the ballroom
and the Alexander of crinoline conqucrois.
Through youthful stages of fashionable Imol
ity, from the masterly wopian of tho world to
the matchless wife, her evolution is a marvel of
adaptability. A hater of humbug, tho Alpha
end Omega of her existence is independence of
tho world and love of home. Bho is a Pocahontas
to her huBband, a Mollie Pitcher to her country
and a Grace Darling to her sense of duty to hu
manity. God bless Tier I Edmund Emerald,

Abend of the Limerick Girls.
As an Irlshinan'pcrmlt me to express through
the columns of your valuable paper my opinion
of American girls. I have trat elled over a large
portion of that ill-fated country from which I
have the honor to hall, and beheld with admir
ing eyes tho beautiful lassos of famous Limer
ick, whom Queen Victoria, despite her preju
dice, had to acknowledge, when she visited that
persecuted country, to be the finest and
most charming of their sex under
heaven, and they do not differ from
the remainder of their countrywomenlthrough
out the laud, whose lives are as simplo as chil
dren's and whoses faces glow with purity and
virtue. Still, with all their sublime qualities. I
firefer the American girl, who are unassuming
n deportment and modest in attire, and whose
greatest anxiety is to afford comfort to her hus
and or parents and those around her. Yes,
Lionel Dorrington, I disagree with your esti
mate of American girls. John O'Donelan,
72 East One Hundred and Ninth street.
Ia Net Affected.
When she is not busy being married to dukes,
lords and other alleged noblemen, the American
girl is devising means by which she can become
self-sustaining. Bhe is interested in that which
tends to improve one intellectually, and follows
the teachings of her parents to sustain her con
dition morally. Bhe despises the affectations of
foreign ways and glories in the pre-eminent po
sition which her country holds. The starry nag
is to her the greatest emblems on God's foot
stool, and she generally Jets people know it.
Balls, parties and the stage are of interest to
her. She minds her own business.

After many years, residence in Southern
Nevada, I have come back East to marry an old
sweetheart of mine. I bought a copy of Tux
Evkkimo World as the train left Philadelphia
and was amueed and amazed reading the criti
cisms in it about "Our American Girls." In
about two horns' ride I was greatly interested at
the variety of opinions expressed. Alas 1 If half
the critics are correct our girls have . woiiilly de
generated in the past fifteen years. Bo they are
consummate dirts are they ; gum rhewers
can't-rook-for-a-cent-sort-of-girls? They wear
Derby hat and, save the mark, thev say that
tailors make their clothes and and lastly, they
have, developed the genus dude sinco I left.
Well, well, Inaven't seen my "gal1' yot.as 1
must go to Buffalo first but but do you know
I am in a state of trepidation over it all. What
if she's like thereat; But she can't be. I will
bet you why because she is the truest and best
type of an Amciican girl extant. Bhe is of
Scotch-Irish construction they make the beat
woman morally and physically in brain and
brawn, and consequently the most progressive
wives of the world. Yours. Wm. Pcbvis.

A Volley of 'Tlona.
Enough of beauty to secure affection.
Enough of sprightllness to cure dejection.
Of modest difference to claim protection.
Yet stored with sense, with reason and reflec
tion. And every passion held in due subjection.
Just faults enough to keep her from perfec-
when such I find I'll make her my election.
A docile mind subservient to correction.

Opinions vary among achtsmen as to whether
or not a new cup defender should be specially
built to meet the ValLrie. Some newspapers
and a number of prominent nclitxinrn urgo
that the Volunteer should be raced against the
challenger. From a strictly business standpoint
this would, of course, be the safest course. But
it would bo M'ry unsportsmanlike, not to call it
uncbh all ous. Even after granting generous
time allowance the Volunteer would be almost
Certain to cross tho lino ahead of any second
class sloop. This certainty, and the oxccssio
time allowance, would make the race tcry unin
teresting. There is surely "sporting blood"
enough among our yachtsmen to build a boat
the aame size as Karl Duuraveu'a flyer to llgnt
for the retention of the cup.

Listen to this and think how managers and
their stars must set up all night to seek for
"adtertlslug hchcines," which they evidently
think aie inoio uiceoary than dramatic merit,
"Miss Lillian Lewls,"sald little Mr. Wlckes Mc
Clavo on Broadway yesterday, "is very anxious
toingago that boy Krulisch, who was charged
with tho murder of Wcchsutig, the druggist.
Bhe thinks he would protca great draw lug card,
and that people would naturally be etrcniely
curious to seo him. Of course she would not
give him leading business, but merely ask him
to hand out progiammci, Of course folks would
come to seo him.
" But would not Miss Lewis prefer that people
should come to see her, as she happens to be
your start" Mr. McCUvc was asked.
"Of course, "luge' uously, "but I assure you
that she ia genuinely sorry for the boy,
audlsvery anxious to help him "(there was a
suggestion of a managerial tear lust here),
"She Is so Interested In the case, and wants to
be of service to the la I."
"Well, thin, why not let her help tho boy,
and sar nothing about it ?"
"Ohl" This was too much for Mr. McClave,
and ho went his wsy in reflection. The artless
Miss Lewis, so pst etically anxious to aid her
fellow-crcatures at I, parenthetically, to ndter
tise hetself, can iriiuratulate heiself on baring
a shrewd malinger. In the meantime, don't you
think that this kind of theatrical business is
rather nauseating ?
