Ing 70 strike you ~ queer anu unuSuct
when you 70 to visit your English
cousins besides the tea drinking habit
especially II you see London during the
season and that IL the thing to DO
OF course. For instance the way they
dress Is almost as foreign to us as the
real alive mot the post cardD peasants
you see in Greece.
To begin with the women. and they
are usually very good to look at. are
very. very dressy on the streets, u
may be the land OF tailor mades but
where are they shipped7 America no
doubt. Two distinct habits OF dress
| are at home In London one the newt
able run and the other ear rings, the
latter of the long slender kind that
often are elongated SO as to rest on
the shoulders
Then mems costume de rezieur on
the streets IL certainly de regieur for

Hyde Park every Sunday evening the

you know and every body follows. He

or opening a hew hospital. II you
keep sharp look out for the daily

any day. II you have just set foot up
on foreign shores for the first time
and have not been seeing royalty on
its various native heaths you have
distinct shock to see that the greatest
king In Chrisendom looks like . high

tea and that his queen IL Q replica OF
the advertisements you sec for Golf

English parade though are the real
things in days Of old armour dear to
the hearts of the lovers Of Ivanhoe.
You may be very critical when In
Great Britain of the English language
as she Is spoke when . den Is called
"snuggery"~a child q kidJie'' OF the
custom Of never speaking above a whis-
per In hotel, even O summer one; OF
all that vast Island of people having
but one colorless pattern out OF which
to cut its Inhabitants: to their criti-
cism Of Americans; Of a whole lot of
other things that don't Just please
your American eye but they are way
ahead OF us in many ways.
To begin with there are the twilights
when electricity Is out Of business
sometimes as late as eleven o'clock.
These twilights throw q bright day
light on the British subjects as they
go out to dine or to the theatre or
even the balls It takes one of these
real English compilations to stand the,
twilight glare ON a very decolete gown
and that's what every one wears Of an
evening In London. There theatres and
caps are more brilliant than anything
you ever see In our metropolis for
even the Lords of Creation" 1--WE
know them as men simply would not
be seen either except In full dress and
white ft0 20 o., h.
Savoy. Carlton. Ritz and all the other
au fait London hostelrys would not
allow man to minRle among the
stunningly gowned throng OF women
were not his garb In keeping.
When you go nosing around Eng
land you can find that 1t 10 the origin
Of a whole lot OF things now In use
with US but one thing We have skipped
thank goodness and that 10 The
Lords Of Creation"
OF course that originated there for
that's what an Englishman Is on his
native soil and that's the way he acts
on every body elses SOIL All you have
to do though Is to cross the channel
from Dover to Calais to find where
the Ladies Of Creation" are TO be
seen.
Ostend although its address Is
Belgium instead Of France 10 one of
the Frenchiest of the French resorts
and where you md the French look
out for creations.
II you have been dragging YEARLY
through some months Of English Sun
days what q pealing of there is Of
sanctimoniousness as well az clothes
when you see the real French side OF
the channel The peal of begins
at mid day which Is the bathing hour
and that is like unto creation as it was
in the beginning.
The only expense about a French
bath IL the on wheels-car which you
must take to get out into the water
and that evens up when you think of
the lack of expense for the bathing
suit. The French woman's costume is
truly simple AFFAIR cut
all in one union suit style
but reaching only from the
decolete neck half way down to the
knees. 1t is q real creation the kind
you read about In the Bible In the
Garden of Eden. The Lord saw that
1t was grand and 1t has seemed 80
to all the rest of the Lords ever since.
Just as much though as the French
woman Is under dressed ON the beach
so Is she over dressed on the asphalt
walks of an afternoon. But she Is
over dressed only in the sense of tho
word that she wears such wonderful
embroidered gowns and all the other
''deniers cre' from Paris.
Just in the degree that are English
summer resorts IL lacking in the real
JOY of living does the French revel In
the flush tide. of II. There Is the casino
which is in full swing that its various
exhibitions of fencing, of music
where the female sex gather together
to sew and chatter. the dressing and

you hear that in the evening you can
have the best seat in the Kursaal and
listen to Caruso sing for lust two
francs and two francs you know is
just ten cents more than thirty cents
Yes, and truly you certainly will hold
your breath and go Wild with enthusi-
Nsm veal out a thousand and one Braves
just like all the nations did even II
