x00dOn and Philadelphia Alike In Thu
Respect
In her article on 'sThe Myth Of the
<00," in Cosmopolitan, Mrs. Burton
Harrison tells Of an American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort Of needlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-
epects, as it was her day at home, and
then bowed himself out Three years
later the American was again in Lon
don, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at home, and there she
sat in the same chair by the same win
dow with the same needlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, more re.
markabk still, the same young man
called ana made the same remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Har-
rison tells this anecdote to show how
unchanged things are in England and
how you are pretty sure to find people
Just about as you left them. The illus
tration is good one, but I can match
1t with a better one over here.
