cordinS TO Pelham Granville Wode-
house, who says in an interview given
TO the Philadelphia Ledger;
English humor has gradually been
growing more alert The English hui
morist has been adopting a less pat

He has credited his readers with GER
tain amount of intelligence and has not
considered it necessary to explain his
jokes in detail as he used to explain
them.
You remember the old volumes of
Punch and Pierce Egan's hunting pic
lures. The point of every joke. how
ever obvious, was put in italics so that
it might not possibly be missed. If the
joke was about child's bright retort
or something of the sort there would
