SLOW TO WARM UP.
English Hospitality Genial When the
Stranger Is Accepted.


English hospitality is proyerbial, but is
hospitality peculiar to itself, whose ways
are past finding out; it is a hospitality
which the stranger must get used to as best
countries have manner of their own which
is apt to be chilling only because it is
strange. but England feels especially chilly
BILE little things which act like cold douche,
but are not meant to be so at all, and are
not particularly noticed after the first two
or three experiences. An American Is genial
and communicative from the very start; is
at ease himself and puts his guest at ease;
which puts his whole house and all his pos
sessions at his guests disposal is like a
summer sun; but it takes an Englishman an
apprec1able time to warm up, and during
that time sensitive visitor suffers the tor

have no idea Of how to make a stranger
feel less a stranger; you are dimly con-
vainly trying to get into harmony with
your surroundings; you never forget it, and
IOtulHS Is Clearer TO your IIllHU imam the
fact that they never forget it either: they
don't mean anything by it, but they simply
have not that rare and happy faculty Of
making you feel 'at home which Ameri-
cans possess in such perfection. You are
strongly conscious of being thoroughly
"sized up and measured by the yardsticks
of the British isles; if your dimensions are
not perfect fit SO much the worse for you.
But the ice once broken, few are so charm

English. Once inside the outer husk of

way until they find you are quite harmless;
then they raise their portculls-a very
spiky one it is. too-and let you in-that is
if you belong to nice people. If you are
not one of the elect according to the En-
glish elective system you fail of free grace
and are lost soul forever more. great
deal of what seems GOODNESS on their part
is in reality the very general lack of en-
thusiasm or heartiness in their voices. There
is very little of our so-glad-to-see-you or
do-come- n-as-often-as-you-can manner
which makes caller feel that his visit has
been welcome and has given enough pleas
