During the long, nerve.raclSing

would refuse to talk with me

WHY ENGLISH ARE RETICENT Don't Talk For Fear Of Starting An
 Argument, Brit0n Explains

During the war days group of Brit ons and Americans held meeting to discuss how a better mutual under standing could be promoted.
 A young man wearing the "Y" uni- form. declared that while he was in Eng land no British officer saluted him. Whereupon a venerable Englishman un- dertook to explain.
 , "We are often reserved and shy among ourselves" he said. !" would not for the world have my young Amer ican friend think he was discriminated against.
 Let me give you an instance. I have often travelled in a compartment with several persons between Newcastle and Leeds and not heard word uttered all the way. One day, merely by way of making conversation, a man opposite me looked up from his newspaper and said mildly, Tits pleasant day
 "Surely the remark. was sufficiently innocuous. Yet it instantly drew a querulous report from one of the oth- CTS, who answered tartly: Well, mo- body said it wasn't a pleasant day. What are you trying to do-pick a quar- rel? And that was all that anybody said for the whole of the journey.
 You see, we have a certain natural diffidence which makes us reticent with strangers. It's in the blood it's part of our temperament."-F Wal do in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
