member of Congress has suggested
that the tie, Of friendship between the en-
tente allies and the United States, evil
denced since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, is the result of business rela-
tons established years ago. The crea-
ton OF these bonds through advertising
is now recognized as q potential internal
tional force. One student of economies
insisted that Pears soap is almost as well
known in the United States as in Eng
land, and that the exploitation of this
avowedly English product for many years
was vital influence in paving the way
for the Anglo-French commission when
they visited this country to negotiate a
war loan. The quality of people may be
estimated by its soap as well as its
styles.
The same is also true of Lea & Perrius

hatred. They get in his way, they fail
to show him any marks of respect such
as he has been accustomed to receive at
home, and what he hates most of all is
the fact that they don't even know who
he is and care less! He begins to glare
at housekeeping, perhaps, the pretty
ones, in what the modern woman calls
clothes, and because of that attitude of
mind he feels a return dislike on their
part. 1t isn't there in reality, but sooner
or later we will all come to know that
we get just about what we give in this
world, whether it is thought or treat
ment
with every bump on the shoulder this
hatred grows; at every street crossing
it increases as he is delayed by traffic;
he comes finally to hate even the horses
that drag the, trucks across the street in
front of, him, and the very motors that
chug past while he stands impatiently
awaiting his opportunity to proceed.
AT last he seeks his room, and there
alone he comes into full Pledged knowl-
edge of how he feels He realizes fully
his hatred OF the place, and, Furthermore,
other visitor ever did. and he wonders
how on earth his friends back home could
have returned from visits to New York
city with praise upon their lips.
'Tn the majority of instances he returns
to his home town, if he is in position
to do SO, but even as he feels the train
pulling him out of New York city, some
OF the hatred begins to depart from his
mind. When he reaches home, strangely
enough, he is ready to greet his friends
and acquaintance with a glowing ac-
count of his Manhattan sojourn. Some
how, looking back at it, it seems diff
ferent. He now remembers pleasantly
the scenes, the wonders, and even the
great masses of people. And even when
he is alone again, he thinks of New
York city without hating it a bit.
He is just one of thousands who go
through the same sensations. He is the
possessor of merely an average amount
of ego, and when New York begins to
