qulsite taste, he declares, is a matter OF
instinct, while in England It must be Gull
uvated for three generations.
All this leads him to observe that the
American woman is having a remarkable
influence on English society. English
women have looked with wonder and adj
miration at the intimacy and friendship
and helpfulness of one American woman
for another. Now they are beginning to
copy American manners in this and other
respects. Instead Of glaring at each other
at dinner parties like Guelphs and Ghibel-
lines, ready to do battle at an instant's
notice." they are now more or less polite
and Informal to each other.
Mr.. OConnor relates how he replied to

American accent: You ought to become

man begged pardon and didn't understand
the humor of the remark. Whereupon he
was assured that II wasn't humorous, but

Thomas Power o'Connor. Irish member

presses the opinion that the American
woman Is the best on earth. He thinks
her far superior TO the English woman in
almost every way. For one thing. she can

English woman has been trained for all
centuries TO let her husband do all the
