(New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) A number of women conspicuous In London society have been In America recently and ara Juit re turning home after vlrlts which have been ao ahort as to causa comment concerning th reason. That New York society was to be captured by English women was loudly heralded a few months ago, when It was announced that certain women of beauty and fashion were preparing to spend the winter In the United States. The society papers referred to It as retaliation for the invasion of Europe by the American glrL It Inspired even the caricaturists and pro voked Harry Furnlss' famous ertoon in the Queen, the leading woman's paper. In which Eng.lsh women were depicted appealing to Mr. Chamberlain for a protective measure agslnst the American women who come to England and carry off all the good matches, -U la made to appear that the American man did not appeal to the English visitors In New York, either aa posMble husbands for themselves or their kinswomen, or even as cavaliers. "Tha American women are splenlid. They are beautiful, refined and well dreaaed Wi are madly jealous of them for ao thoroughly defeating us at home, but we'll acknowledge their good points neverthe less," said one of those returning visitors to the World correspondent. "But the men of A merle bah! It makes me ill to think that I associated with them as long as I did. Few Geatleaaea ta America. "One would meet In a whole day and night only one or two who would be called gentlemen In the English sense. ' Most of them have some trade or other which they acted ridiculously snobbish about and tried to .conceal from us; but their manners were so completely middle das that any Er.sMlsh nerson eould tell Immediately where they had originated, "You must not think we are sore" be cause they didn't pay us enough attention. for they did: they bored us to death with calls And billet-doux every day, their boxes f expensive flowers and sweets, their stream of Invitations. They were ao very familiar they ware horrid; they took all aorta of liberties with you If you were slmDlv ctvll to them. Another woman confessed that she did not admire American men, observing: found them very Insignificant, very bour geois. We attended Uie New York horse show snd I was fairly aBtounded that New York fashion could not show more men who were well dressed and who appeared s men of distinction In contrast to the common crowd. But In the promenade you could not pick out the men of the 'four bun. dred.' Borne of the gentlemen rode or drove their own horses In the ring, but for the life of me I could not tell the difference between the owners and their Jockeys. Harry Lehr as a leader In society called forth some sarcaatle remarks. "Imagine g man who came apparently from no one knows where and who supports himself by Inducing his friends to buy a certain brand of champagne tor their dinner partlea. a man with a highly effeminate voice and a ludicrous imitation of a French ahrug being the leader of society, ranking along with, Mrs. Astor, a great lady In every sense of tha word. It is ridiculous, but it ehows the scarcity of real gentlemen In New York society." . Hero Is a Proper Roast. , Here la still another woman's opinion "What do I think of the American men we met? "Well, I thought they were vulgar, un educated In the things of society, stoop shouldered, ubd-rsized and mere dwarfa in ' comparison with our stalwart, straight Englishmen. They think If they nave a million or two they are aa good aa anyone, and society seems to think ao, too. We shall never forget the millionaire who asked us to lunch with him at a certain Cayaf.' , A few of the women seem to have been Very democratic and to have ridden on tha elevated trains and the atreet cars. Those experiences do not appear to have elevated their Ideas of American men. pna woman, who apparently tried to go over to Brook lyn In the afternoon when the rush was at Its height declared that. the men actually brulaed her by their struggles to get on the ear and that when the car atarted the seats were all occupied by men, while the women, worn out by the battle to get on. were standing up and clinging to the straps for support "After that," she said. "I can well be lieve that the men of the middle classes expect their wives to keep house without servants, as I understand Is the case. Aa you know, no Englishman In decent cir cumstances, not even a clerk, would allow his wife to do the heavy work about tha house, such aa American men demand from their wives. Mo Gentility' ta 1 Learned Professors. One woman displayed rare enterprise In studying tha American man at his office or place of business, and thla la what she recalls: . "I called with an American friend upon her lawyer Just to ace what the experience would- be. He kept us waiting and aa I had another engagement, I left my seat and walked over to the clock.

(New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) The declara tion made by Plus X in the recent con sistory that, being the head of such a large organization as the Catholic church. It Is absolutely Impossible for him to re frain from taking an active Interest In the political situation of the world, haa ex- ejtad a great deal of comment In the Ital- predecessor, who was styled a political pope. a well Informed prelate, enjoying the confidence of Plus X, has been able to estimate how far the new pope will deal In political matters. The policy of Leo XIII was severely criticised, both before and after his death, by those who Imagined the interests of religion were sometimes made subservient 1 to political questions, and who thought the views held by the late pope to be too partisan for that neu- tral attitude which is, they'conslder, neces- sary to such a cosmopolitan institution as the papacy. For Instance, his open oppo sition to -the triple alliance and preference for combination between Italy and Catholics to uphold republican institutions as a duty of conscience, alienated many from their allegiance to the Vatican.
