What Astonished Her.

Last year Miss Anna Lindmark, a bright young Swedish woman, made a tour of this country and on her return home wrote for a Swedish magazine an article giving her inipresslons of this country and its people. She was much impressed by what she saw and heard, but the thing that astonished her most was the extravagant way in which American women dress. "When they go out shopping they actually wear silks and velvets and iewels,” says Miss Lindmark.
