is another form of Amerieanitis. The
sight of the vulgarly audacious placard
in the window of an otherwise respecta-

may seem unreasoning, but certainly is
not. 1t was interest in the unfortunates
for whom the snare is set-and not idle
curioeity-that led me one day to ask:
What would you say is the average
time the shopgirl gives to her luncheon
when she gets it here?"

OF the habitues of this CHEEKY, neat

Not more than ten minutes at the

And what is the most popular dish?'
The reply was as ready as before:

Stewed tea! Which by the time it has

ture goes back to the afternoon work

A NATIONAL HABIT

HASSP NyO 4+lL4ts we 90 not know
how to rest. and. like our English for
bears we take our pleasures seriously.
But the chief Of our sins against our
selves and generations yet unborn is
the national habit OF eating too fast
In no other country could the proverb
have currency, Eat now and chew by
and by" II conveys. Of course. the
popular belief that mastication is
matter Of minor Importance compared
with the business Of getting food down
and out OF the way

and more, OF chewing twenty times

his mouth. and ten times upon bread
and softer foods. have heard sensi-
bic people refer sneeringly. and not
without disgust, TO the story as to
petty trick unworthy of mention by so
dignihed a parsonage. When Fletcher
sought to call popular attention TO our
national neglect Of so vital matter
as masticating instead OF "bolting"
our food, there was not paper in the
land that did not class his theory with
sensational 'isms" that catch the eve
OF the public for an hour, a day or
week. and are no more.

Mrs Philip Snowden, the English sui
fragist who is now speaking in America

graceful, educated.
A mass of blond hair touched with gold
crowns her fine forehead. Below are
blue eyes and blooming cheeks. Her face
has ruddy glow of hsalth, her voice
a magnetic ring which nightly speaking
has never impaired.
Though she prefers persuasion and cd
vocational propaganda, she readily grants
that the suffragets have done a lot OF
good for the cause in forcing the sut-
frage issue upon the government and
public. What strikes Mrs. Snowden for
chilly is the privileged position which Well

a good time that they are not inclined to
