American I.mile* Who Will Knter European
Court Circle*.
Of late years Europe Ims developed a
groat admiration for American women.
At the present time there is a discussion
going on in England as to what consti-
tutes the fascination they seem to |H)Hsess
for Englishmen—ti fascination vhicli has
recently been proved bv sever I notable
marriages of famous Hritons to girls f rom
the United States. The wives and
daughters of the ministers and consuls
from the United States are initnensely
popular, and their beauty arid charm of
manner create much enthusiasm. The
wives of the diplomats whom President
Harrison has accredited to the European
courts will,undoubtedly lie as.su<vessful
socially as cnoso u no have gone ocroiu
them.
Of late years the social status of the
American legation at Paris has occupied
the highest place in the diplomatic corps.
Whitelaw Re id and his wife have the
reputation of being excellent entertain-
ers, and the American residents in Paris
are looking forward to many brilliant re-
ceptions. bulls and dinners during the
coming seasons.
Mrs. Reid, who was Miss Elizabeth
Mills, was bom
in New York city.
Her father, Da-
rius Ogdcn Mills,
is a noted man in
the business
world, lie went
to California in
184S and estab-
lished the cele-
brated gold I til iik.
He was also
largely interested
in mining, and
-founded the BiUik
/of California. In

$5,000,000 capital. The bank subse-
quently failed through the bad manage*
ment of William Ralston, who commit-
ted suicide. The bank was built up
againthrough the efforts of Mr. Mills,
and the institution was transferred to
New York city. Mr. Mills now makes
his home in Westchester county, N. V.,
:uid his life is devoted to notable chari-
ties in the city of his residence.
Mrs. Reid was educated at first at
home in California and New York by a
governess, and later in a fashionable
boarding school, and her finishing school
years were passed at Paris. In I MSI she
lecame the wife of the djstinguislied ed-
itor. Mrs. Reid is very attractive in ap-
pearance. She lias light In-own hair ar-
ticled in rich waves over a line fore-
head, iti'id brought together in a braided
knot at the back. Her brown eyes have
,1 soft expression, indicative of a genial
nature. ««< I :>!ie sometimes wears glasses;

EDWIN ARNOLD.
Texas and Pacific Railway
The Author of of Ashi" Im
Also a Powerful IMitoriul Writer.
Edwin Arnold is known to most read-
ing Americans as the author of "The
Light of Asia." hut very lew know that
he is also editor of the most powerful
journal in England, if not in the world—
Hie Daily Telegraph, of London. The
way some Americana confuse him with
Matthew Arnold, recently deceased, and
Thomas Arnold, theeducator. might well
give Englishmen as much amusement as
a few English editors have afforded to
Americans by confusing Webster the
statesman" with the great lexicographer,
an J even with Professor John White
Webster who killed Dr. Parkman. In
these instances of blending the acts of
several men into one the archaeologist
finds an explanation of the fact that cer-
tain ancient heroes art' credited with
such very I >ng careersaud so many con-
tradictory actions.
To separate the Arnolds at tho start,
let it be noted that Thoma i Arnold, born
in 1705, who died in 1812, was the cele-
brated Rugby head master, reformer of
English schools and practically the
author of the present system of English
education. His son, Matthew Arnold,
was the poet and controversial writer,
who was Ixirn in 1822 and died in 1838.
IIo it was who gave such currency to
the talk o f
'•sweetness and
light" and "the
power not our-
selves that works
for righteous-
ness"—a rathei
