GROWING A PLACID EVENT
American Wife Of Admiral Disaerees
With Husband as to British
Enthusiasm.

New York, July Admiral H. w.
Savory OF the British navy and Mrs
Savory, with their two children, here
to visit relatives of Mrs Savory. do
not agree on the subject of British
enthusiasm over the browning of King
George. The head of the family de-
clares that there was an abundance of
enthusiasm. but his wife thinks the
crowds were placid. The explanation
may be found in the fact that the ad-
miral is Briton, while Mrs. Savory
is an American woman
we Britishers do not show our en-
thusiasm by noise" says the admiral.
Therefore the coronation may have
appeared tame to the American spec
tators."
There was not enough shouting"
says Mrs. Savory. Where there is
enthusiasm there Is shouting. and
there was little shouting in England"
