Dress of American Women.

A LADY writer in Zion's Herald says: "There is an impression abroad, as well as here, that our American women think more of their attire than of anything else. At a school at Frankfort-on-the-Main, no American pupils are admitted, the preceptor saying in reply to questions as to this rule, "We do not take American girls, because they dress so extravagantly; they think and talk so much of their clothes, that they disturb the simple, quiet ways of our German girls; and we find that their influence does us more harm than their money does good." In Dresden there is, I believe, but one private school where American girls are admitted, for similar reasons."
