a net Of tangles and knots In which
leaves and twigs had become en-

her look was stupid to the point of

Johns algebra will prove almost

book probably looks a great deal
like a book of puzzles, for page
after page is filled with charts
and diagrams, dotted squares and
shaded circles. Father, it is true,
will regain confidence when he
finds himself on familiar ground
and sees the formulas, charts and
curves that he meets every day in
business. But mother, who was
good in algebra in school, and
liked it best-or more accurately
disliked it the least-of all forms of
mathematics because it had letters
instead Of numbers, and therefore
assumed tinge OF the literary,
mother will find Johns algebra a

You must acknowledge certain
fixed differences of feminine char
acter first. The American woman
has much greater opportunities for
education than the Englishwoman.
Education for women in England is
matter Of class; in America there
is no distinction. We have no such
wonderful system of free education
as your high schools give American
girls. 1t is difficult for the average
English girl without means to get an

haps, from an American point of
view. On the other hand, although
the English girl may not have the
advantages Of the American system
of education, she manages to gain
much information and somehow
learns to think deeply for herself. I
am speaking, of course, only from
my own observation. But whatever
the English girl thinks about poll
tics; or suffrage, or international
questions, her predominating obliga-
tion is to the tradition of the home
idea. That tradition is that the man,
being the head of the family, must

pride shown in England among those
who had English ancestors.
From the American point Of view
this custom Of maintaining stand
ards of breeding may not be i'm
portant. The result is that in Amer
lea there is confusion of class, or,
rather, no classification at all.
| ! am inclined to observe that there
is very large ruling class in Amer
lea. / mean well bred class as dis
tinguished from others, class where
the distinction Of ruling superiority
is evident at once. Therefore, when
one says, there is no class distinction
at all one speaks in theories.
What Breeding Means
To be well bred in England is to
be well born, with money or without
it. An example Of this idea in Eng
land is the royal family, bred by
centuries of national tradition to
their duties.
In America gather the impress
sion that there is no prescribed So
cial area, no certainty Of breeding,
as we understand it in England.
Americans are the happiest people
in the world, but in social customs
they differ slightly from the people
of England.
For instance, in England we still
regard an introduction as personal
responsibility. Ones introductions
are carefully made, because the in
troducer is socially responsible, not
the people introduced. For this
reason it is not always easy to be
introduced; it is one OF the social
restrictions in England.
In America I notice that there is
a delightful freedom toward the So
cial amenities. A man opens his
house to you at once; in day you
can know him and his family as we'll
as if you had known him all his life.
Reserve of nature is peculiarly an
English trait, habit of breeding
that we have not overcome. This
/ may be a mannerism which makes
the Englishwoman appear to regard
herself as superior being, which
is quite untrue when you know her.
Equally Warm Hearted
Englishwomen are just as warm
hearted and democratic as American
women. Innumerable incidents Of
the war have demonstrated this.
Englishwomen of title and breeding
worked at all sorts of manual labor
alongside charwomen, scrubbing
floors, washing, doing anything the
exigencies of that trying national
hour demanded. / mention this
phase of the misunderstanding of
the feminine character in England
because Englishwomen are some
times misunderstood in America. and
there is such very little ground tor
the women Of England or America
to have differences of friendly re-
lation.
Future Rests ON Them

frage in the world depends upon a
complete accord between the wom-
New-York tribune., 1921-03-20
A Desire fol. Service

The idea Of equality in social and
political affairs for Englishwomep
is universal since the war, chiefly
because women especially fear any
criticism of being unpatriotic. This
is carried, to a very large extent, to
an extreme. Motor licenses which
by their numbers and initial indicate
that the owner drove an automobile
before the war are envied. In Eng
land the license number is never
changed. 1t indicates that it was
secured in pre-war days, or later.
High prices have been offered for
such licenses, so that license that
has obviously been issued since the
war is open to suspicion of being
driven by profiteer.
Extravaganza in England is de-
spised. There are many inciGee.s
of English life that emphasize the
extreme patriotism Of Englishwom-
EN-. Of course, the same purpose
applies to American women, but ]
have not realized the significant
demonstration of it as we have in
England: We were in the war for
much longer period, and the horror
of it was much closer to the homes
of Englishwomen, although the sac
rifices made by American women
have been wonderfully great.
While it appears that suffrage in
England may not enjoy SO independ-
ent sway as it does in America.
we can make allowances for the diff
ferences in character of the women
of the two great nations.
