American s.Prudishness."

In the face Of foreign criticism, and
in the face Of ones w dismay at ex-
listing conditions with regard to divorce,
we still sympathize with the retort ad-
ministered to an alien critic OF u peo-
pie. who had declared, in private con-
versation, that Americans seemed to be
afflicted with the disease OF prudisb-
ness. The answer was somewhat in
these words (the incident occurred sew
eral years ago. Yes. probably 1t Is
true that Americans are prudish; but,
considering the revelations hat have
recently taken place concerning certain
circles in London, and considering the
condition OF a good part OF the Partisan
stage and OF French literature, I, for
one, am willing that We should pay that
price for the knowledge that, on the
whole, Americans are the decentest peo-
pie, in regard to the relations OF the
sexes, on the face of the ~globe."-Cen-

give up that plan. New Workers are

this latest device to gain for a restau-
rant the badge Of exclusiveness was not
a success.
The certain failure OF the plan was
assured through the fact hat no other
restaurant manager had never made
such ar effort. So those men who had
been in the habit Of dining wherever
they pleased without being compelled
to dress in any particular way, object
ed so forcibly that the rule was abro-
gated.-New York Evening Post.
