Capacity for silence.

The Anglo-Saxon race, ACCORDING To
writer in the London Queen, has a
TREMENDOUS capacity for silence. RE
Gently" he says, Il have been travelling
and seeing at close quarters people of
nearly all European nations, as well as
Americans, Arabs, negroes and Berbers.
OF these the English and Americans
seem to have most closely laid TO heart
Rousseau's doctrine regarding the van
ity OF continual 'hattering. | often see
English people sitting in solemn silence
at their little tables in the salle-a-man-
ger, regarding, with q certain frigid
surprise, their chattering and laughing
neighbors. Americans may be. as they
are often said TO be, brilliant conversa-
tionalists in general society, but they
have apparently little TO say in the fam
lily circle. French family parties make
the welkin ring with their saIlies. Ger.
mans lift the roof with their cultural
uproar. The peculiar, complaining
sound of Italian voices seldom ceases
even for a moment, but l have seen an
American couple sit through dinner in
unbroken silence, and in the hotel in
which / am now staying l dine every
evening at the table next to an Ameri-
can father, mother and Two strapping
daughters, who seldom utter a word
and never carry ON a continuous CONVEX
sation."
