At a ball game the other day I pick
ed up a "doughboy," who In the course
of conversation made some quite
friendly but critical remarks on Brit
ish hospitality In peace times.
He said that In the old days when
an American came to London with a
note of Introduction he would be taken
to lunch or dinner at a club or smart
restaurant, and that was the end OF
it, whereas when a Briton arrived In
New York with introductions his host
would buy America and give 1t to him
to do what he liked with.
So | took this to heart and when ]
next met him / gave him the whole
day. He was much pleased with the
romantic signs of British saloons-the
BALD Faced Stag" the Hare and
Hounds" the Rising Sum-" the york
shire Grey" He was much amused
with the British royal ceremonies and
the ramlication of titles. "Say, how
you keep this dope in your head has me
beat-knights, them other fellahs,
barts, yer majesties, yer graces, yer
dookships-gee
The First Mishap.
And my own notions Of America and
things American tickled him to death.
Toward evening | took him to a West
End bar and with the greatest good
will presented him with what l had al
ways thought was a Manhattan cock
tail.
He looked grieved. Say" he pro-
tested, "what'ye l done that you should

"Oh, l thought you'd like something
to remind you Of home"

If any downtown barkeep pulled this
stuff on me and called it a Manhattan,
say, / guess there'd be Immortality for
that barkeep next day. Manhattan? l
laugh. Guess you don't know the first
thing about it. Gimme some British
ale. Here's how"
He had n special point in common
with the average British Tommy; he
hated those solemn functions" ar
ranged for his entertainment. He
didn't want to be bothered with high
brow receptions and amateur musical
shows in the West End. What he most
wanted, he said, was to ~foregather with
an individual Englishman and visit his
suburban home and have a chat and a
real English wartime meal.
The Real Friendship Bond.
High officials and diplomats of
either country always are telling each
other across official luncheon tables
that Anglo-American friendship is now
sealed, but remarks of this kind are
~forceless, until they are backed by the
individual feeling Of the common stay
at-home people on either side. They
are now able to "get next" and as soon
as American soldiers know something
of the intimate home life of the hard
working middle class and their outlook
on life there'l be something to write
home about.
