NOTES

Elinor Glyn, writing of American
men in the English Boobnan. says
You do not in company hear the
same commentary of general knowl-
edge, allusion to or quotations from
literature whatever comes froh his
tory and books. as you would in Lon
don or Paris. Instead OF those airs and
graces you have direct flrst-hand
knowledge-the fruit of something
done by the person with whom you are
talking. The most interesting men in
America do not go much out to din
ners. being too busy; nor. | gathered.
do they go much into politics. for the
same reason, and because they don't
find politics inviting. They give their
lives to achievement and their mental
strength, their conversational fresh
ness are a revelation OF what robust
young land can splendid in
divldual vigor and national prosper
ity."
