The originality of American girls has often been known to puzzle foreigners for-eigners to no small degree, and the following is but an illustration of what they run up against: A group of intelligent people were gathered in the drawing room of a fashionable hotel on the continent, all chatting in a friendly manner, when an American girl suddenly held tha floor. "Yes," she said, "speaking of comparisons, com-parisons, I guess I have been everywhere. every-where. I've been to Paris and done it to death; I've visited London until it is old to me; I've been to Constantinople, Constantino-ple, Egypt, India I guess I've been everywhere on this earth, but of all, nothing to me can compare with Blank's hotel of Denver." The foreigners laughed, for they thought it must be some kind of a joke, yet they .did not know . what Blank's hotel was and had never heard of it. A few days later, as the. American girl was taken ill, one of the women went to call upon her. In smoothing the pillows and arranging the coverlid the lady noticed a photograph fall to the floor. Picking it up, she said: "I suppose this has something to do with Blank's hotel?" "Yes," said the girl wiC a sigh, "he's the cashier there." |
