An EnSlIshmau's Observations.

One OF the habits commonly attribu-
ted to Americans by foreign visitors
was held by popular tradition to be
confined to this country. That was
the practice of eating rapidly and to
this day foreign criticisms of this
country contain references to this
Yankee habit"
AS q matter of fact" said an Eng
lishnan who is about to return to his
own country, "the Americans do not
eat more rapidly than any other peo-
pie save, possibly, the French. Com
pared to the rapidity with which Ger
mans eat they are deliberation itself.
One thing which leads foreigners to
this impression is the superficial signs
of fast eating that one sees about the
streets. ! was astonished myself
when L frst arrived here to see the
announcement Quick Lunch IT was
not good or clean or cheap lunch TO
which the advertisement called Ut
tention, but quick lunch. That was
presumably its most attractive quality
to the public. Such things as that
lead to the impression that Ameri-
cans are n nation Of fast eaters. But
1T is not true according to roy obser-
vations. They may not sit Mt the
table as long as some other nations
do, but they take more time Mt the
actual work Of eating than the Ger
mans or the English. They are very
likely to get up and leave the table
when they have finished, but when it
comes to n question Of slowness and
deliberation in actual eating they are
not behind any OF the foreign nations,
unless it be France. The fast. eating
tradition belongs to the school which
taught that all Americans chewed to-
bacco and talked through their noses. "
