New York. Jan 5.-The Sahebzada
brother to His Royal Hghness the
Nawab Hamid All Khan. ruler of all
Rampur. is about returning to England
after having spent several weeks in New
York as the guest of Mr.. jeffrey Duveen.
The Sahebzada has mingled with the
common people. has eaten with the elite
at Sherry's, has rubbed shoulders with
the masses in the street cars. has at
tended the theatres, danced with the
American girl penetrated into the mys-
teries of studio life, helped New York
celebrate New Years eve and has In
vestigated the foreign quarters OF the
city. While he sat In the Savoy watch
ing the snow clouds swirl across Central
park and talked OF his impressions.
ITO begin with" he said, New York
is very much the freest city / have ever
seen. and ] cannot say that I altogether
approve of II. / might say the people
OF New York are somewhat offhand."
The Sahebzada. as becomes an UNDER
graduate OF Oxford and ward OF Eng
land. uses the broadest English accent
I'm England the people OF the servant
class adhere more closely TO their place
OF today and care only for it's own COM
fort"
What do you think of American So
ciety."
II am delighted with g. There IL a
pleasing absence of that conventionality
which. to me. is so tiresome. Really a
do notl Ike conventionality. And the
American girl-ah, she Is so much gayer
She has so much more pleasure than her
lt.h -l. - L. q.
There is much less trouble from chape-
rons In New York than I'm Continental
society. Chapearons are nuisances. Yes,
I candidly regard them as such. When
| take a girl to the theatre In London l
have to lug along her old father, her
grump mother or her maiden aunt Here
she doesn't need a companion. 1t is so
much nicer. Last night"-but the sen
tence was never finished. II Hike the
way you do things in society In America.
! don't like pomp, and I don't like a lot
OF ceremony. IL bores me-
PLAYS WE'RE RANK"
How about American theatres? l hae
seen several performances. One I liked.
The rest were rank. They wouldn't last
a week in London.
II went 10 the Stock Exchange one
day. and saw lot OF Americans chas-
ing the dollar. Some OF them were chas-
ing II for bare existence suppose. Others
were trying To capture II that they might
add Il to their pileand sit on It. That IL
the American dea. Man cannot be rich
enough In this country As ! gather. the
more money a man has the more he
wants.
But II is Of American hospitality that
I would talk most. That Is the real thing
in ca--hospitality. IL Is a charac-
teristic which no other nation possesses I'm
40 full a measure. IL Is your wonder
ful attribute. your birthright.
"Will you leave you heart with an
American girl?"
That is too personal a question. The
very first thing that was asked me when
| landed was II had come TO marry an
heiress. What an ideal j am a very
poor man"--he smiled whimsically-"But
| don't like heiresses. They are apt to
be too independent. Wives should lean
upon their husbands. and defer to him.
Wealth. as an adjunct Ia. a woman. IL
often a positive detriment."
