now that the duchess business has

umn In the Evening Standard, re-
, cites one of the horrible American
atrocities" as follows:
y "What a brave people the Ameri-
cans are! or is 1t that they think
they can do things In London un-
dreamed Of in New York? We might
be Just the same. | have thought
this a good many times since the
transatlantic rush began--and one
has met Americans with every step
in London.
1T came upon me very strongly
when l saw an American woman
walking into the Ritz restaurant
with a mans straw hat, wrapped up
in brown paper, under her arm, and
the paper had come adrift in one
direction, so that there could be no
doubt that it was straw hat.
oh. Horrors. Horrors!
4 don't know what other lunch
ors-such as the Duke of Rutland,
Sir Godfrey Barring, or the charm
ing Countess Choisuille (white-
haired and all in black )--must have
thought. Perhaps they did not no
tiCe.
Let's hope that the Duke of Rut-
land aud the Countess Choisuille
did not notice. Pity them, poor
things, il they did notice and were
shocked to insonsibility by this
American woman, who brought her
husband's straw hat. wrapped in
brown paper, mind you, right into
the Ritz dining room!"
one can imagine the fishmon-
gers wives down in Billlngsgate
reading "Corisande's" horrible tale
and wringing their hands and tear

this sort.
This is just one of the many pro-
tests and walls that have gone up
from the British press. They have
tried ridicule extensively and still
seem unable to check the American
atrocities" England has no comic
papers" such as there are in Amcri-
ca and perhaps that's why many OF
the papers are altogether "comic
Sheets"
At least they are comic sheets"
IN so far as they attempt to depict
the American. According TO the
Versions of English newspapers,
every American opens every sem
tcnre with, say ho' and closes II

Americans wear cigar dropping
from the left corner of their mouth,
and no American ever thought of

"Oh, wurra. wurra." as they say
In Ireland, and, "Oh, dime!" as the
fapper says on Broadway these
are terrible times for the sensitive
British, who have their sensibilitles
outlandishly shocked at every turn
by the atrocities" OF the American
tourists.
Despite these horrible American
atrocities" 1t is interesting to note
that there is yet no case on record
whore American money has been re-
fused in London, and the Ameri-
