French and American Gallantry.
I was remarking 1 nob long ago to an American woman ot fashion, who is no longer in life's delightful morning but ignores that facb, the great civility to her sex of American manhood. * You call it well, civility,' she answered. ' Bui in some things I prefer the Frenchman's way of talcing us. In France one is not constantly reminded of the flight of time by the neglect with which one is treated. Amorica is a very nice place for a miss in her teen*?. But ladies turning thirty don't liko it so well. In ballrooms they are utterly neglected, and they are looked upon as only good to be shelved at forty. A French lady who is at all agreeable is never rominded of the ttiyht of time when she goes into society.' — • Pavis Letter.'
