of American women made a deeper
impression than anything else in this
country upon Lord Rothermere,
owner of the London Daily Mail and
other British newspapers, who sailed
for England on the Majestic today.
II never saw prettier women than in
New York" he said.
Even prettier than in Paris?" he
was asked.
"Oh, yes-much prettier.'
And what of England
"For the moment L might even say
of England"
One of Lord Rothermere's secre-
taries suggested that the Britisher's s
praise of Americas feminine charms
should be toned down lest his words
should plague him on his arrival in
England. But Lord Rothermere stood
