 For five months the mademoiselle has been touring these United States in behalf of Quebec hostelry ob- serving American hotel methods and gleaning stray bits of information about our quaint civilization. Her relentless research work has con- vinced her that New York, not winds the crimson trail trod by sin ners.

 You Americans work hard. yes. But you play hard, too. You have ball buildings, money and beautiful women. An, wonderful country. but 50 noisy.''
 Mile Gridiger is taking back with her several ideas concerning Ameri- can efficiency. She consented to leave one with us. It solves prob lem that has harassed mankind all up the centuries, namely: How does one get the center of ones back dry after bathing?
