Show Thoughts on the American Woman. HB Wo Americans aro not yet qulto able H to distinguish a type, either of man or BH woman, that has developed out of our PA1 very complox ethnographic condition. H Wo think, now nnd then, that wo can H seo certain qualities or characteristics BH so grouped in nn individual as to muko i BH us say for the moment that there is an LH "American." Tho American woman is, HB porhaps oven a llttio more undovel- H oped, to our thinking, than 1b the BH American man. Wo ndmlro or tremble jPePJ beforo women of a certain air or qua! lty; but this very mien and quality ot hor do not seem permanent, fixed; and the woman we class as "American" to- l BH day may bo altogether different from if tho imperious creaturo wo crowned PfflH yesterday. Porhaps it is with regard H to tho woman as it is with respect to mHJ tho past. It takes tho tone of dls- BH tance, spaco, to bring out tho glory H nnd the distinction to orb hor. Co- BH lumbla (S.
