Eminent Frenchwoman Says They arc Dlotlnct Type of Superiority. Now York , April ifi. ! "American women have no equals In all the world. " This unrestricted pralso of the American woman has no limitations anil comes from thu distinguished French writer and student of social conditions , Mine. l > auronce Fle-Mer , in an Interview yesterday. "The American practically holds tflo solution to the problem of woman's advancement , " said Mmo. Fiedler. "Her freedom , her breadth of thought , her personal charm , her culture , her manner of dress place her as a dis tinct typo of superiority. " "Tho Hfo of the American woman , her delightful comaradorlc with her men frjends , 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. "Tho decrease In consumption In New York I bollovo to bo directly due to the Intellectual freedom of the American women. Education and freedom of thought naturally glvo 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. You have your clubs , your professions open to women , your training schools for girls. Everything tends to the betterment of women. "There Is one phase of the breadth of your American woman's work , which Impressed mo deeply. This is the club for models. This club which gives a sort of homo and moral sup port to models , shows what can be 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 1 thought French women the best dressed In the world. Now 1 yield the palm to the American wo men. Never will I forcot my first walli up Fifth avenue. It was like a panorama rama of chlcness 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. " REMAINS TAKEN TO YANKTON.
