A party of three ladles reoently travel­
in g abroad met with the kindest cour­
tesy from all, even from the provorbially
lolcle-lika Englishman.
In the lake

of the wagonette, and, picking big
bouquet« of English cowslips and prim­
roses, gave the youngest member of the
party a d eligh tful lesson in botany; in

rose from the poet’s grave bofore the
coach started. In Rouen an old French
lady alighted from the “ bus” and walked
half a m ile out of her way to show the
American g irl the way to the beautiful
Gothio cathedral o f S t Maolou.
In
Paris a most ob ligin g young English­
man, whom she took at first for a
Frenchman, stopped an Immense wag­
onette with much trouble, and, seeing
•he was timid, escorted her aorosa the
crowded boulevard des Italiens to tha
door of the Hotol Splendide, making hla
conveyance wait. En route to Florence,
a handsome young Venetian conductor,
seeing she was travelin g alone by night,
reserved the whole of an eight-seat
ooupe for her without being requested,
and, most, wondrous of all, refusod all
mention of a fee.
A t Verona, the home o f Romeo, a
French gontleman, hurrying to oatoh
his train, stopped to Interpret her ques­
tions to tho tioket seller and Inform
her about the custom-house Inspection,

things ladies traveling alone have to
enoounter. Bowling along the shores of
Lago Maggiore, an obliging French con­
ductor on the roof of tho diligence
stopped the whole big coach-load, while
the American g irl hunted through the
oorrldors of an immense hotel for aa
Amerioan “ sandveech.”
Perhaps the funniest bit of gonulna
kindness was performed by a little
Bolognese conductor, black-eyed, with
■omething of the figure of a Bologna
sausage. The express train had boon
rushing through tunnels all day; anxious
to miss nothing, the g irl had her head
out of the window, until finally, over­
come by fatigue, she fe ll aleep with her
head resting on the open window. A
rapid stop in the immense station sud­
denly woke her. Looking at her watch,
she saw it must be lunch time. She
started out into the station toward the
buffet; tho conductor followod her, wild­
ly gesticulating and talking in shrill
Italian. She offered her ticket; bo shook
his head, getting more excited. Ho tried

T h e Lancashire women, at least, are
tbe rosiest, strongest set of women
im aginable—that is, on Sundays and
holidays, when repeated washings and
scrubbings have removed aevoral la y ­
ers of coal-dust; and tt la notorious,
locally, that at a pinch most of them
are equal in physicist power to tholr
masculine colleagues. A t home they are
Inferior to any class of women, working
or otherwise. Being engaged In the
open air all day, they can naturally
turn in the evonlngs with more than
ordinary zest to household duties.
In a word, they are thoroughly do­
mesticated. L a s tly —and this, after all.
Is the great point— their demeanor and
general conduot are absolutely unim­
peachable.
As to the working dress o f the pit
women, that Is certainly peculiar, looked
at from a conventional standpoint
Up to a few years ago they were at­
tired lik e men up to the w aist with
bucklod clogs on their fe e t Above the
knees came the end of a peculiarly-fash­
ioned tunic, a composite sort of A gar­
m e n t-h a lf ja c k e t half dress, with some
sacking m aterial tied round the waist
as an apron.
A lim p bonnet tied under the chin,
or a sort of turban, so arranged as Just
to show the neatly-plaited lialr and the
bright ear-rings, completed tbe costume,
snd very odd it looked, especially at a
distance, which In this casedld not lend
enchantment to the view.
Now, out of deference to the feelings
of certain peculiarly sensitive people,
the tunlo is worn a little longer, so as
•ea rly to hide the masculine garment,
tbe head-dress Is a little neater, and, in
addition, a short jacket is worn.
T h e dress iscertalnly not picturesque,
bat as a means to an end, as allowing
Che utmost freedom o f motion and ob­
viating accidents, ltisb eyon d all praise.
Nevertheless, the women themselves
are oonscious of Its inoongruity, and
take the earliest opportunity of chang­
ing it for ordinary fem ale attire aa soon
as they get home from work.
It has happened before now that while
proceeding to or from work they have,
some of them, been made tbe subject of
attack by somebody with an undue pro­
portion of tongue to brain, but—this
may be said with safety—never mere
than once by tbe same Individual.
In addition to possessing a highly-
vigorous vocabulary they are so hard­
ened with exposure to the weather ami
developed by the nature of their work
that they can g iv e a good account of
tkemselves, even though a fight should
ensue, snd the opponent may have rea­
son to admit, with benefiting humility,

women gen erally with the w ill end
