ON TOUR WITH MRS. MARGOT ASQUITH, Mar 1S.- America has made 10 distinct impressions on Mrs. Margot Asquith, drawing-room poli- tician. diarist and lecturer.
 And the 10 icpressions gained by this famous Englishwoman. the wife of a former British premier, are not altogether flattering. Here they are as she told them Co me.
 Society
 Your social life is terrific. You have 50 guests at dinner and call it party Your hospitality is slightly exaggerated.
 l find all women everywhere who wish to succeed socially are much the same They have hearts, brains yes. it's safe to say bodies--cut out after the same pattern So America surely is not distinctive for it's wom- en who have social ambitions. But among business women you have very characteristic element. conser- vative and charming. However, don't see how American business men can employ certain short-skirted bare-kneed, rouge-lipped females who talk too much. 1 find the average young business man more poised, more elegant person than the aver age business woman"
 Homes
 In your cities, as I have seen them. have found no wonien to whom I could apply the term housewife with any degree of correctness. Then where are your housewives? In the country, of course. 1 have watched vour fine country homes from train windows and have said Of this one or that one, Now, there must be a very happy home Though, of course, the furies may be playing within.
 Prohibition
 Prohibition, which I always favor ed, is most harmful in it's effects. as I see them in America. Lord Lee (first lord of the British admiralty) says my statement that there is drunkenness among American young people is cruel, ludicrous and un- true I wish it might be at least the latter. But I am overwhelmed with letters from all over America agree ing with me in this opinion. Aneri- can people are dynamic; they always will overdo a protest.
 
 America has a remarkable sense of rhythm. I have heard little be- yond your colored melodies (mean- ing 'jazz) but like this sort of mel ody. It is splendid It carries one on. After hearing it I should say, Not strange that America moves it's feet so fast and so muchr
 Literature
 l~k every city and town. At every cross roads station one sees books, maga- zines gu d papers for sale l wonder how you get time to devour so much reading matter? And what good it does you? Can any people digest so much? But the effort is to your ere dit.
 FIappers
 You make too. much Of your flap pers. You take them too seriously. They'll outgrow it, before you can realize.
 Courtesy You do rush about, everywhere but you're very polite. There is a sur prising amount of courtesy in public conveyances. No, haven't ridden in the subway, yet--but I think I'll risk it once during the rush hour, just for an experience. I expect to survive it as well as the next one. Drama
 Your drama is vigorous, quite often improper but free from coarseness. You make a good job of handling in- delicate situations delicately. Your American actresses are more finished more beautifully gowned, moro con- vincing than English actresses But Englishmen are much better on the stage than the men of America Press don't like your newspapers. They are too hurried. They even hurry me. And then they don't print what I say as would have it printed. They pay too little attention to what l say,
