one of the prettiest Irish hostesses in
London declaring that she will have
only American, Scotch or Irish peo-
pie to her house. She says the Eng
dish people in good society are too
dull for words. The topic is begin
ming to be discussed. There is no
doubt that American, Scotch and
Irish people in society mutually fra
ternize more cordially than they do
with the English. while the lady in
question declares that English host
esses have to invite some Scotch or
Irish to every dinner party in order
to relieve the heaviness and make

Where self-destruction is not due to

continue to increase just in proper
