Mayor's Daughters Describe European Women and Fashion
The mayor's daughters praise German women for modesty and domestic focus in Dusseldorf and Dresden. They say Berlin lags Paris in fashion and art, discuss English suffragists briefly, contrast American freedom with European restrictions, and note Americans are perceived as lucrative by some Europeans. They recall a Yankee Doodle band earning tips from a German station. They defend American chivalry and conclude travel broadens but home remains best.
