SAY AMBASSADOR
IS UNDEMOCRAT|C
PLANS FOR RECEPTION ON THE
FOURTH DO NOT SUIT
EXPATRIATFS.

LONDON June 56-=A most uu
usual innovation has been inauguated
this Year for the fourth OF July re-
ception to be given by Am 5assador
and Mrs. Reid at Dorchester House.
In the past II has been customary for
this affair to be given for the benefit
OF all Americans in London. who de.
sire to celebrate dependence Day
and cards were issued to everybody
tho registered at the Embassy. The
result has been in the past that thous-
ands OF Americans would file through
the stately reception rooms and grasp
the Ambassador hand. proud to be
under the roof above which waved the
Stars and Stripes,
A year ago, so Il IN said. Mrs. Reid
thought the crowd was a trine too
large and also a trifie too enthusiastic
30 this year orders have been given
that no cards shall be issued except
to those persons who have passed per-
sonal scrutiny az to dress and general
appearance.
This job OF crutinizing has been
allotted to Sheldon Crosby. third sec
rotary OF the embassy.
As expected. there is n general conn
plant against what is termed most
undemocratie style with which affairs
at the embassy are now vested.
1t is known that one very popular
American society woman, who Ii Nv
ing at the Ritz hotel, sent her mail
to the embassy to secure invitation
cards as she had always done in years
gone by. andthe information was car
ried back to her that she would have
to apply in person to conform TO the
new rules This she declined to a.,
and CHE will not attend the reception.

DO WOMEN LIKE FIGURES?
"They Are Not Romantic Enough"
Says a. Woman Accountant

From the London Daily News and Leaders
1T Is extraordinary difficult to find
a woman ready to stand alone or 10 take
financial responsibility" said Lady st.
Dayids at the conference the other day Of
the Association of Women Clerks and
Secretaries, when committee was formed
to start society for women clerks and
secretaries under the insurance act oh
no, nothing to do with money they Will
say. anything but that"
Much the same opinion is held by Mrs.
Ayres Purdie, the we'll known accountant
and the first lady to be admitted to tho
membership of the London association of
accountants. when / was first admitted
to this body" she said there was some
trepida ton among the members of the
council lest the innovation might result
in whole army of women seeking ad-
mission. So far these fears have proved
groundless THIS is one of the few pro-
fessions for women that are not over
crowded.
MY own experience Is that the majority
of women do not like responsibility or
figures or work on their own initiative One
girl who came to me with the idea of be-
coming an articled pupil suddenly changed
her mind and said she thought she would
like embroidery better Another recoiled
with horror (and she was a university
graduate TOO when she round she would
have TO sign a three years agreement.
oh, couldn't do that she said. I might
want to marry before then: but l would
not mind tying myself up for is months.
"Of course, a girl who has one eve (and
that the best one) concentrated on mar
rage and the other one on business is
not likely TO succeed In profession like
ours which needs all girls faculties and
attention.
Il don't think accountants work sounds
romantic enough for the average girl
said Mrs Purde with laugh. she likes
something more sentimental. She thinks
figures dry and undressing
And do you find them so?'
mot at all. I love the life. 1t Is full
of variety and interest and brings one
I'm contact with all kinds of people. 1t
develops initiative and resource. For
girl with a love of mathematics and
legal type of mind It is full of possibilities.
The best training is obtained at some of
the provincial universities or at the Lon
don School of Economics, after which
girl ought TO article herself for three or
five years to an accountant
II an aspirant TO accountancy has no
means Mrs. Purdie advises her to get as
wide experience as possible as general
bookkeeper In business offices. Unless
woman Is prepared to work very hard and
has private means to tide her over the
initial year or two. ! would not advise
her to take up a public practice.

Scientists as Humans
sclentIiic Amerlcan.

From the Scientific American.
There is among many a misconception
of the man of science as a morally and
emotionally shriveled specimen who re-
morselessly sacrifices romance and poetry
and human ties in crassly materiaistic
pursuits The comparison of his miscon-
ception with the behavior Of many typical
scientists is distinctly ludicrous. Take, for
examples. the famous X club.
This was essentially a dinner club; the
members who attended its first meeting
were Hirst Spottlswoode. Tyndal. Frank
land Huxley, Hooker. Dusk, Ayebury and
Spencer Later members were Darwin
and many another of those amazing 10Th
century giants. 1T has happened" OBJ
served Huxley, that these cronies had
developed into bigwigs of various kinds,
and therefore the club has Incidentally
may say accdentally-a good deal OF in
iuence in the scientific world" Huxley
once overheard two members of the Aten-
aenum: II say, do you know anything
about the X club?" "Oh. / have heard Of
it," What do they do?" w ell. they gov
ern scientific affairs, and really. on the
whole, they don't do It badly"
Nevertheless, a guest of this club must
have been shocked and saddened by the
frivoity obtaining among its members.
There was no rules, save the unwritten
law not to have any. But sseletal minutes
