I were asked to say whether there la not, perchance, a spot of me earth where no woman la ab solutely, helplessly plain, where, she al ways has a redeeming feature to speak In her favor I would unhesitatingly arnwer: Yea, the I'nlted Hi*lea of America, for : m Ihai country, let * woman have a* tin.

Ihe ehort-comings of the body. On Ihe whole. I think Ihe Hungarian women are the moat buaullful In the world They have ih* face* ef Madonna* and the figure* of Oreek statues; both IlaphioV and Fhldtns would have chosen them for models. They are not languish mg. diaphanous creatures; they are ihe < mbailment of health and strength. They stand erect and eiralgni. nre hearty and vigorous lo eh* core, perfect picture* of abounding vitality. Yat their limbs and features are full of delicacy. They have large eye* and small feel, full arms, plump hands with small, tapering finger*, .ml dell- loti* ankle* The inclination of ih* shoulder* I* perfect, and Ihe bosom abso lutely classical No curve Is exaggerated, hi t ever: one I* there, the right stae m Ih# right place. The eun ha* spread a reddish golden tint, like Ihe color of a Beautiful ripe peach, over her complexion. She seldom present* a riddle to Ihe psychologists, and effem inate el tiercel poets do not sing of her. Hhe |s tae vigorous embodiment of sensi ble womanhood.

In Hungary grace and beauty know no difference between high and low, and often bestow upon a poor, barefooted, ehort-sikirted peasant girl (with her beautiful oval face framed In u kerchief tied under her chin), the same ravishing form, the same graceful car riage the same mug I ally nttiactlve glance as upon her more favored sister. Hut who can touch, even approach, the Irish woman, with lief dark hair, her blue, sometimes light isirple. large eyes, her glorious complexion, her soft, velvety sktti. her Iteautlful, graceful form? fleas times the lower portion of the face ta a little toi long, but her brow la beyood competition The Irwlt women la a sym phony In white satin. Add to theoa phy sical aitrariloha the brightness of her expression, the amiability of her smile, and you will come la the concluslcs) that her charm la unapproachable. There le so much patrtotiam In the world, or. I should rather aay. ao much provincialism that men. all over the earth, give Ihe palm for beauty to the women’ of their own country. Now, dear American friends, you know Hue Is true. Would any of you deny that Ihe American women are the most beautiful women In the world? I am such a cosmopolitan that I have no hissed mind, 1 have been a traveler for thirty years In HTO I shed a pin) of Wood and Inst (he ties of my right arm (for military purposes at any rate), so that Frame and myself are Quits, end f feel I have right to express myself on French topic* quite a* freely and Independently as on any oaher country. 1 thoroughly believe that the French women are Ihe most charming and certainly the most sensible women (where would France be now bur for the women?), hut they are far from being beautiful. They have not the eyes of Ihe Hpanleh women, nor Ihe complex ion ami shapely figures of Ihe RnglMYl, nor the brilliant faces of Ihe American women, hut what makes them charming la that they have a little bit of everythlog. of which they know how to make ths beet. The French woman Is an ensembls. It must be admitted that, after praising the women of (heir own country, most men award to Hpanleh women tha palm for beauty. The conclusion must natur ally be that Hpanleh women are very beautiful: hut tn my mind It la a kind of beauty that doe* not appeal to the hears or the soul as II does to Ihe sense Her large eyes, veiled by thick lashes, her dal t< ate rose and well-informed, ever-moving nostril*, her undulating form, ths supple ness. almost honeless, beautifully molded limbs and figure, her vigor, her languor— every fiber of Ihe Bpanlsh woman's body, I say, appeal* to the sense* Hhe doe* not make you dream of sentimental walks by moonlight, much less still of s quiet, hap py life In a cottage covered with Jasmine, honeysuckle and rases. In her company you would never dream of being Mayor of your city and father of a numerous family. No. ths Spanish sen and strikes you as a bewitch Ingty beau tiful creature.

I would feel that the hear moment* of my life would be “mailing It up" with her If the law of my eountry made polyg amy compulsory. I would make love to an Knitliah woman or a fair daughter of Vir ginia: I would have my houae kept by a Herman wife, mv artistic Inclinations t would trust to a French woman: my tntal lectual ones to an American one.
