Friend of Her Mirror,
New York Run: "The American
woman is not chic," said a physical
cuUurist and beauty lecturer, "and she
r.ever will be until she learns the arts
of the French woman.
"There never were so many pretty
American women as now. The girls are
tall and fair and the women are volup
tuous and blooming. All wear costly
drc-tf.
"When it comes to being chic, how
ever; they are not in it. A thousand
times I have been asked: 'How can I
be chic?' and I hardly know what to
say.
"One of the principal reasons why
the "French woman is chic is her un
derwear. It is always dainty to the
last degree.
"There is a subtle something by
which you can tell it. It may be only
the suspicion of a rustle; it may be
only a chance display of lace; it may
Lc just the merest suggestion of lin
gerie, but you get the idea that there
is more daintiness than shows upon the
surface.
"The American girl wears expensive
enough lingerie, but she seldom makes
it chic. There is something lacking.
"She may lift up her skirt and show
an all silk petticoat, but it is not a
petticoat that" bewitches. It is merely
a piece of silk. The French woman, if
bLj were to lift her skirt, would be
witch, you.
"The explanation is this: The French
woman never makes a mistake. In
taste she is superb.
"If her skirt is a French pink you
may be sure that her shoe heels are
French heels and her stockings pretty
Etockings. She never mixes things up.
"The English girl, on the other hand,
f? quite pathetic in her combinations.
Under a petticoat of charming hue and
irreproachable style she will display
boots that are uncompromisingly mas
culine. "The American girl, charming as she
is, has a great deal to learn of the

French woman. One thing is how not
to get fat, for one explanation of the
chic of the French woman is that she
is thin.
"It is said that the French woman is
naturally lean and that she keeps her
figure by simply doing nothing at all.
Yet this is not wholly so. She diets
and she exercises in her own way.
"The French woman would hardly go
to a gymnasium mornings, for it is too
much like hard work; but she exercises
in other ways.
"She does her own housework and
glories in it. She is not lazy. True,
she does not go into the kitchen and
polish the brass kettles, but she does
a deal of work around the house.
"From cleaning out the fireplace nnd
setting the fires an occupation which
her dainty hands are not wholly above
to buying the meat for dinner, she is
always occupied.
"The American woman does not like
to market, and Khe db.spjes the grocer.
She dislikes the details of her house
hold and she abhors light housework.
"There is, then, nothing left for her
bt the gymrasim, and she mst take to
it to keep her flgre.
"The French woman has a ittla waist,
and shd keeps it small by her diet.
She eats very little that she does not
want to eat.
"The American woman cannot resist
the temptation to eat. She passes
from soup to fish, from entree to roast,
from this to salad, and so on all the
way along to dessert, without refusing
anything. The French woman never
does that. Sho eats in moderation.
"The French woman sits down and
eats long, if not heartily. Her drink
is a little weak red wine, and she par
takes of a meat, a salad and a little
coffee. Very seldom does she eat any
thing more. It is this dieting that
keeps her thin.
"The American woman is apt to have
a pretty figure at the start. At the
age of thirty her waist line begins to
thicken, and by the time she is forty,
it is gone. At fifty it is so wide and
so high that you would not recognize
it as a belt line. . ,
"The French woman, at least those
of her nationality who aim at good
form, never gets stout. And, if stout,
she learns what to wear. She has the
art of looking chic, no matter how fat
she may grow. But the American
woman never.
"The fat American woman puts on
a while shirtwaist. She divides her
skirt from her waist with a belt which
cuts her in two and makes her look
short and she wears a skirt that is
dumpy in its line.
"The stout American woman revels
in satin although it may make her
look twice as big as she is. You will
not find a French woman should she
ever be so unfortunate as to become
stout in a satin gown with her shoul
ders shining and jet twinkling from
every pillow-like curve.
"The French woman studies her
mirror. The American woman never
does this.
"The French woman has a pier glass
the length of herself, no matter how
poor she may be. The glass may be
a bare affair draped with mosquito
netting and hung in a corner, but it
is a looking glass just the same, and it
is kept where she can see herself in it
as others see her.
"The American woman does not be
lieve in mirrors. She has one, it is
true; and after she is dressed she
takes a sweeping glance into it
"But she does not treat it as a com
panion and guide. It is merely used
for consultation and for effect,
"The French woman dresses in front
of her glass. She gazes and gazes,
and she never puts on even so small
a thing as a bow of ribbon without
first asking the glass if it is becoming.
'The American woman, on the con
trarj seldom looks in the mirror. She
puts n her bows, she pins on her
lace ...he clasps her bracelets upon
her urms and adjusts her pins with
only a passing glance.
"When all is completed she looks in
the ghtss. If it is not right she Jerks
off a bow or two. The real reason for
Mh poor effect escapes her. It Is that
she has not dressed with sufficient
tare nnd has falWl to ask her friend
the mirror u sufficient number of ques
tions. "The French woman loves to wear
trying styles Mmply because she know
that ho can do so. She is the only
woman In the world that can wear
difficult things. Other women are not
built for princess gowns and for effec
tive empire costumes.
"An English rhyslca! rulturtst has
Invented what he calls Empire 'Xfr
rise, lip took them to Varls, but he
found that the women there did not
need them,
"Th wmifn In other lands do nerd
them, though. They are for the rtdue.

to be Vrrv effective.

"The next exercise consists in bend
ing from side to side. This is hard
enough and a strain on the muscles;
but one can take hold of a chair by
way of assistance and not bend too
far either way. The idea is to -bend
the body until it feels supple. The
more one bends in moderation the bet
ter." "The neck must be small if one is
going to get the Empire figure." The
French woman always insists on hav
ing a little throat and little ankles.
"The exercises for the redemption of
the throat are pretty. The head is
thrown back and the throat is exor
cised. "The head is thrown back upon the
arms and rested there. Then it is lift
ed and rested again. Then it is thrown
back again. This is a very easy exer
cise. "The French woman is too economi
cal to spend' much upon her gown.
Her money goes upon her" home and
upon her dogs, upon her church and her
household, and into her savings; but
when she does buy a gown she makes
the most of it.
"She gets a cheap and becoming dress
Raisuli, the Brigand
London Times: - Just as the whole
Morocco question has lately become
centralized in events at Tangier, so
the Tangier question has during the
last few days become essentially a
question of Raisuli. What will be the
end of the famous brigand? In a
week's time the Sheieefian troops will
have arrived, and we may know; but
today all is speculation. Will he re
main at Zinat and fight; will he fly
to the mountains; will he attempt to
compromise with the sultan; will he
meanwhile carry off another European
from Tangier? Every one has his own
reply, but no one knows. "The spider
Js weaving .'its web , round the fly,"
raid a Moor to the writer' today, "but
the fly is strong, and the" .spider,
though large, feeble. The fly may
break the web and throttle the spider."
It is passible, but not likely. The pres
ence of the coming troops will deter
Raisuli's followers from being too
courageous. They are cowards, these
mountain Moors, and their villages
burn very easily, and the sultan'3
troops have horses and the country Is
open. Uaisuli, it Js '.true,' states .that he
will show fight, but he cannot show
fight if his people desert him, and he
trusts no one.
The situation is certainly one of
great interest, and is perhaps, too, a
little sad, for Raisuli, after all, has
his good qualities, and there are many
who would willingly see him escape the
fate that must be in store for him if
be falls into the sultan's clutches. Hh
may possibly deserve to die, tortured
in a dungeon," for he has tortured and
killed others in his time, but one can
not help hoping that it will not be
the case. After all, he has been very
little more than a robber, and very
little crueller, than any other Moorish
official, but he has had this misfor
tunethat his scene of action has lain
in the proximity, of a town where thero
are many Europeans. Anywhere else in
Morocco he would have been consid
ered a strong and successful governor,
but the temptations which contact with
Europeans held out to him have been
his ruin. For him treaties have never
existed, and do not exist today, an i
twice he has saved his life probably,
and certinly his liberty, by acts of
brigandage. But Mr. Perdicaris forgave
him long ago; and personally the
writer bears him no grudge for three
weeks of captivity. After all, if the
sultan or his vizier had ever possessed
half of Raisuli's vitality, Raisuli him
self would never have existed. Ills
period of ' governorship has not been
entirely bad. He has opened up the
trade routes and been able to guaran
tee a certain security in his Jurisdic
tion. He has acted according to his
lights, and If his lights have been of
an exasperating nature It Is no reason
he ehould be tortured to death. To
fall fighting would be a better end
but all is speculation at present.

rocco by no means "Qespised, profession
of a cattle robber. It is a risky busi
ness and requires courage. You may
just as likely be shot yourself as shoot
any one else, but prestige tells in favor
of the head of the band, and a reign
of terror of the young Raisuli ensued.
He became celebrated. He was a youth
of great courage, of the most prepos
sessing looks, and he and his followers
earned money easily and fast, and
spent it still faster. Rut cattle, rob
beries led to other crimes. ''.'..Murders
followed, - -and .It-must ' 'be '"confessed
that HaisulPs hand arc none too clean
m that respect, but murder In Morocco
cannot be classed with murder In
England. Life is cheap and the dead
are soon forgotten. By nature he was,
and is, cruel, and the profession he had
adopted gave him unlimited scope to
exhibit his cruelty. On one occasion
a Shereef who had married hjs sister
proposed, according to Moslem cus
tom, to take a second wife. Raisuli's
sister, enraged, fied to her;, brother and
complained. 'Nothing occurred till the
night of the new marriage, when at
the height of the festivities Raisuli
and his men entered his brother-in-law's
house and put to death the young
bride and her mother.
At length his acts became insupport
able. The whole country round lived
in terror of his raids. The late sultan
ordered his arrest His greatest friend
betrayed .him; he. was seized and-sent
to prison in the dreaded dungeons of
Mogadon When, three years ;go, I
was Raisuli's prisoner at Zlnat he nar
rated more than once to me the history
of those four or five years spent in
prison. He showed me the marks of
the chains on his ankles, wrists, and
neck; he told me of a tile in a loaf of
bread; of five months' patient work at
night; and of a iong delayed flight
He escaped; but for a very few hours
He did not know his way about the
town, and he had forgotten that the
chainft would almost prevent his walk
ing. He entered a street that had no
outlet and was recaptured. Frh
chains were heaped upon hinVyl it
was not till two years later hat he
was released on the petition of HaJ
Mohammed Torres, the sultan's rep
resentative at Tangier. He came back
to his home meaning to live a quiet
and peaceful life, but he found that his
friend who had betrayed him had be
come rovernor of Tangier, and con
fiscated all his property. He applied
for its return, but could not obtain it
He threatened, bat they laughed at
him and then he took to his old pro
fession again and became a brigand.
It was at this period that I first mt
him. I was c.nmplng on a shooting ex

men paid me a visit and spent the
night at my camp. I. confess that his
personality was Almost fascinating.
