Praise for American Girls.

New York.—“ American girls do not go abroad to have a good time by drinking wine, smoking cigarettes and following other European customs. Those who say they do libel them.” Thus said Lady Francis Cook (Tennessee Claflin), herself an American girl, who arrived the other day from Europe. “American girls have revolutionized Europe,” she continued. “Continental streets, which were regarded as unsafe for women after dark, now are as safe as our own avenues. It is the American girl who has worked this change.”
