, TRIBUTE TO OUR WOMEN.
Emlnunt Frenchwoman Says They are
Distinct Type of Superiority.
, Now York , April 25. "American
women have no equals In all the
-world. "
This unrestricted praise of the
American woman has no limitations
and comes from i\\r \ Distinguished
French writer nnd stiu of social
conditions , Mme. Laurent pedlar , in
an interview yesterday. * o
' "The American practically i 4 ; the
solution to the problem of w\ < JjVs
advancement , " said Mme. FltSJ/A. ,
"Her. freedom , her breadth of thong- ; , '
her personal charm , her culture , he/
manner of dress place her as a dls-
Tinct-type of superiority. "
"The life of the American woman ,
her delightful camaraderie with her
men , friends ( her wholesome viewpoint
on social conditions , her respect for
* '
work and' the equality of working wo
men , have the greatest effect upon
the physical problem with which I
have been struggling.
"The decrease In consumption In
Now York I believe to be directly due
to the intellectual freedom of the
American women. Education and
freedom of thought naturally give en
lightenment In the matter of hygiene
and the cleanliness of all classes of
American women Is something that
impressed me at the very start.
"As to the high standard of moral
ity I cannot speak too strongly on this
subject. And your morality In this
country I trace back to the Intellec
tual freedom and the general breadth
of justice of your women. Yon have
your clubs , your professions open to
women , your training schools for girls.
Everything tends to the betterment
ofwomen. .
"There Is one phase of the bieadth
of j'our American woman's woik , which
impressed me deeply. This is the
club for models. This club which
gives a sort of home and moral sup
port to models , shows what can bo
done In protecting and ennobling girls
in a line of work In .which In Paris
they degenerated to the lowest level.
"Up to the time I arrived In Now
York I thought French women the
best dressed In the world. Now I
yifld the palm to the American wo
men. Never will I forget my first walk
up Fifth avenue. It was like a panorama
rama of chicness and loveliness.
American. women have the most per
fect sense of color and there' Is an
innate artistic expression In the way
they wear their clothes. "
