American men get married inquired Mile Mlle Yvonne Garrick In what way Is their choice fixed upon one particular woman among so many that are beautiful Since I have t b en Em ln in America it has seemed to me that your men are dazed bewildered by the number and variety of your beautiful girls I meet one of your our young men on Monday He says to me Oh I 1 am ani crazy about Miss Jones Isn't she beautiful and attractive I Just have to meet her I must give a supper for her Was there ever such a stunning girl Ah Alt what a beautiful example of the American love at first sight I 1 say to myself Then on Thursday I meet the American young man again Is slice sIc not beautiful I must meet her Im I'm crazy about her he raves to me Miss Mss Jones I say intelligently remembering the conversation of 01 Monday Who is Miss Jones he asks scornfully irritably I dont don't remember her No I 1 mean the b beautiful witty Incomparable Mir Idler Brown I i Fresh Face Every Day And so o it goes the American man aims alms to court a different girl every day That is his ideal of enjoyment I have heard there is a ma man in New York City who ho boasts that that he has never tal taken en the same girl out to dinner twice that th there r are so many beautiful women here it is always possible to have a fresh face across the restaurant table Perhaps he has has- never ever been peen able to get Jet the same girl to go a second time I thought but I did not say it Miss I Garrick on the eve eve- eve of of a aa return to her native Paris Parts for a brief visit was giving fily- fily ing me

Forty-sixth street that I saw th the e French beauty who entertains such lively opinions of American men Here in New York Mlle Mile Garrick Garric k said there are beauties of every sta stra- station tion in ton in society in the shops In th the e theatre thE I have seen as many as I twenty-five twenty beautiful women on on one e New York stage e at a time How Is a aman aman man able to choose among them ho how w decide which of many to make mak e his wife I have heard that yoU vou consider consider con con- I sider the French Inconstant Why th the e Frenchmans Frenchman's heart is true as the needle to the North Pole compared with the themen themen th e men of ot New York In France th the e average life of a love affair is ten years and we have romances romancE'S that last twenty twenty twenty ty or Dr thirty years A man loves on one e woman all that time Yet our women n are not nearly so beautiful as yours ours Not so beautiful no no I admitted d candidly but more charming perhaps And beauty Is Just a womans woman's advertisement advertisement adver adver- advertisement of 01 herself It is a sort o of f poster proclaiming her desirability an anif and d if she does not live up to the advertisement advertisement advertise advertise- advertisement ment of invisible grace her reign lasts last s a very short while I It Is charm which holds a man man Mlle Mile Garrick charm agreed charm which is indescribable since it is not merel merely amiability nor intelligence nor wit nor northe northe northe the desire to please but a mixture of all these things and then something else American women are so beautiful beautiful beautiful ful they do not have to be charming The perfect beauty says to herself naturally It is enough for a a. man if I permit him to remain near me me Mlle Mile Garrick said that it was wal Impossible Im- Im impossible impossible im im- possible to define charm but she herself herself herself her her- self is a living definition of It ft Slender Slender Slen Slen- der of medium height her figure Is round yet fragile her skin has the creamy whiteness of ot the which circle her lovely throat her face Is the tho long French oval her hair frankly red her eyes two searchlights dartIng dart dart- darting Ing their soft yet vivid rays ras In all aU di di- di They are of the lovely red- red brown color of ot old sherry Tell TeU me she said turning the brown bron searchlights full upon me mEl why is the American man so fickle Why does II he take a beautiful girl out to dinner or supper and never n never ver go to call on her next day as a Frenchman would Why does 11 he wait walt a month or six weeks perhaps perhaps per per- haps and then telephone oh so eo carelessly care care- lessly Im over at the Plaza and I thought Id I'd drop around to see you OU la later later la- la ter if you are going to be beat at home If 11 you say yes S and h hI he comes you OU ask perhaps what he has been doing all this time and he tells you of other young ladles ladies he has taken out He does not understand that a man can dedicate himself to one woman woma for years think only of her her Lecture on Constancy r I looked 11 at pt t the russet Garrick In sorrowful haired Mlle Mile amazement Has It really come to this j T r thou thought ht that hat Paris shall preach constancy in love to t New York As though divining it she answered my unspoken Inquiry Before I reached New Kew York I thought American men were the most constant in the world Since I me methem met them I am not so sure laughed the French beauty New York I must say sayto sayto to you has impressed me as the most voluptuous city in the world It is a anew anew anew new Babylon Paris is a cloister compared compared compared com com- pared with It You see in Paris only strangers and very fast people go t to the restaurants One does not meet there society people such as those who participate In the night life of 01 New York Here you dine while soft sort music is played and beautiful scantily dressed dancers surround und you Th Then n you ou go t to the theatre and see more undraped undrape d goddesses Then you to to supper an and there are cabaret singers Greek dancers perhaps Everywhere an atmosphere of ot paganism of riot And yet yet the ingenuous Ingenuous in ingenuous In- In Miss Garrick added you told me me- mea a while ago that the American man has no Imagination that he is emotional emotional emo emo- rather chilly Between Emotions What at you ou say proves it it I answered If It he had imagination he would not need all the ragtime and cabaret sing sing- ing Miss Garrick smiled I believe you are right she said Do you know I have often otten wondered how men stood the appeal to their emotions made everywhere in New York Now a Frenchman after spending such an evening as I have described would go crazy and perhaps kiss one of 01 the cabaret cabaret caba caba- ret vet singers An American Just sits watching with a calm smile on his face and goes on talking to the girl with him not him not the girl he will Invite tomorrow tomor tomor- row Now and then he sips something from a tall glass glass and and the drink perhaps perhaps per per- haps is frosted sarsaparilla The American is a charming host He sends flowers and sweets to the woman he He lie is fie so careful to take her to the play she wants to see sec and to supper where she wants to go You told me that he doesn't pay many compliments That is not m my opinion Still it if he does not I think only his actions should be counted for tor or against him him- said M You never nevet tell mE mer you yOU love me me- an American girl to a man But I Im I'm m here the man answered as though that should h Sr proved d everything and and really it Women are foolish if it they prefer pre prefer pre pre- fer words to deeds deed Nevertheless they thea do I answered That n r prefer t is the h why foreigner 7 Si some Simo mo American women for tor a flirtation The situation is this Our men expend ex ex- expend ex- ex pend all their imagination In their work An American can cnn become on the subject of a pickle ad advertisement advertisement ad- ad yet cannot write a love letter to save his life lire Our men use their Imaginations in j business Our women women those those at least who have no professions or outside work consume their Imaginations in the sentimental relations of 01 life Hence they think men them boorish b silly m r II Sh and and ds sentimental brutal brutal- i l n and ard even think Mlle Mile But rare are your your women sentimental
