We are al Yankees now since
the War.

''I was greatly amused" !" said 3
New Orleans citizen who has
lately made a visit abroad, ITO
notice how the term Yankee
Widens in application as one gets
further and further away from the
habitat Of the real thing. In New
York a Yankee is commonly sup
posed to bea native OF Connecticut,
Vermont or Massachusetts, and I
have noticed that the name il
applied to mean skinflints rather
than to the people in general. At
st. Louis q Yankee is understood
loosely to be anyone from the
extreme Northeast. Here in New
Orleans the term includes pretty
nearly everybody above Mason
and Dixon's s line-in short, North
erner' and Yankee are more Or
less synonymous. Now comes the
really absurd part Of it, although
quite il line with what / have just
remarked. While / was ii Lon
don 1 found myself continually
referred to as 4 Yankee By
natives who had learned / was
from New Orleans. Il think yod
Yankees are very charming peo-
pie, said 4 big wholesaler who
wanted to be extra pleasant. i
know several from your sEats.' /
tried to explain at first, bit | soon a
got tired of that. / was sI sure Re IL BE-
greeted by 4 stare of amazement..
But I thought all Americans weirs
Yankees, donche erknow,' would be
the usual protest. Times Dem.
