They are matchless embroiderers and knit-tern, knit-tern, and usually clever musicians. With all these they combine distinct talent for the f omostlolilcs, and can cook or men or make for household In way that wen the cleverest tier-man tier-man haus-frnu might admire, and they are aa house-prom! aa the Dutch women. No wonder Unit, brought up In an atmosphere of domestic romfort, tho Swiss benedict seeks, lie fore all when he mnrrles, a good manager. Her beauty Is a accnuil-rate rousideratlou, nd though he thinks It desirable that she should have money, the 'dot' Is not so Indispensable thing In Swltxer-luud Swltxer-luud as In France."
