AS ENGLAND SEES US
TYPICAL AMERICAN NOT RE.
FERRED TO FLATTERINGLY.
Truth Is, the American Is Of a Type
That the Old World Has Not Yet
Come to Understand, and So
lts Judgment Is at Fault.

The Americans as a race walk better
than. we-more freely, with a taking
swing, and almost with grace. How
much of this is due to living in a de-
mocracy, and how much to wearing no
braces, it is very dicult to determine.
But certainly it is the land of belts,
and therefore of more loosely moving
bodies.
Also. Americans take their coats off,
which is sensible; and they can do
it the more beautifully because they
are belted and not braced. They take
their coats off everywhere and any,
where, and somehow it strikes the Wis.
itor as the most symbolic thing about
them. They have not yet thought OF
discarding collars; but they are un.
ashamedly shirt-sleeved.
