AMERICAN women, says Harper's Bazar, very beautiful and charming. They know more and talk better, than any other women in the world, except their sisters of France. This class and that has been called the only American aristocracy, and there is truth underlying the claim of each. The tramp is an aristocrat because he is an idler. The collego boy is an aristocrat because he ha for sport. The army and Davy: officers are much leisure aristocrats because they are the permanent representatives of the Governmen", But, after all, the woman of fashion is the rest and

6 most charming aristocrat in the country. If any one can sit up late and bave plenty of lalsure to sleep away the crowfeet of falgus, it is she, and yet even she has no right to tempt the fates after the manner of the British maid and matron, She has more to do.
