The conflict in Havana between the
Anglo-Saxon and the Latin civiliza-
tions, or, more definitely speaking, be-
tween The American and the Spanish
civilizations, is just as noticeable in
the little things which go to make up
the everyday life Of the people as it
is in the broader fields of justice, re-
ligion and politics. And sometimes
thereby come little personal annoy
ances and embarrassments to both
Americans and Cubans. unintentional

long as the usage Of the one people or
the other shall not entirely prevail.
For rinstanee, there is the custom Of
saluting acquaintances when met upon
the street or in the drawing-room. IN

There is doubtless far greater loss Of

crs keep over their daughters and the
jealousy with which men guard their
wives 1t seems little strange to us
that here any man who chooses may
bow to a woman on the street. The
natural supposition Of the woman is
that il she cannot remember the face
of her saluter she must have met him
and forgotten him. However, in all
fairness, it should be said that the GUS
tom among those accustomed to it
works as well practically as ours does
among us. There are always fathers
and husbands and brothers to hold re-
sponsible personally those who over
step the lines of propriety, so that 1t is
only theoretically that objection could
be made and this objection depends in
all probability solely on our foreign
point Of view.
But II is when you try to mix these
two customs In a society composed OF
persons, part of whom are accustomed
to the one and part to the other that
the confusion begins. An American
man newly arrived meets Cuban

knows that by the usages to which she
Is accustomed he should speak first
and yet he knows that she knows that
he Isl an American and may wait for
her to speak first. On the other hand
she. knows that he Is. accustomed to
having the women speak first, but she
also knows that he, having lived in
Cuba some time knows that: It's the

It Is they stare and stare and look

Of course these embarrassments
only arise among those newly ac-.
quainted. After people know that
they know one another it Is easy
enough for the salutations are prac-
tically simultaneous. One thing which
the Cuban system does is to shift the
responsibility fcr identifying bost OF

woman to the man. This is trying to
