The ordinary Londoner who has not
had the good fortune to cross the At
iantie Is wont to picture his American
cousin wearing goatee and victim
to the constant chewing Of tobacco and
liberal expectoration. On arriving In
New York he is amazed to discover that
the goatee is conspicuous by its alb
sence, tobacco chewing unnoticeable
and expectoration practically unknown.
In this respect he finds the New Yorker
far more clearly in his habits than the
Londoner. more especially on public
cars and in public places. The unre-
strained indulgence of splitting ON and
off the tops of buses and in railway
trains and the random chewing and
smoking of tobacco In and around Lon

prohibition against splitting IN public
