LADY CHOLMONDELEY
MONDAY COUPY
This charming Englishwoman
who joined the Red Cross because
didn't know a thing about Amer
leans and wanted to learn" says
that the famous pronunciation OF
her name has reached the remoted
ranches Of Texas. so that CTS dc
not comment ON 1t. But In her two
years OF dealing with them she has
achieved her purpose Of getting tc
know Americans and here Is what
this titled EnglisEwoman has tc
say about Joe Doakes:
Come 70 Save England
Hes the most eager person to
learn I've ever seen. His questions
range from sightseeing queries to
Why don't the British give indie
pendence to India?'
HE Is under the impression that
England got herself entangled IN
a mess and that he was sent over
here for the sole purpose Of rescu-
ing us"
HE comes to England with an
anti-British chip on his shoulder.
He expects to find US rude, superior
and snobbish. I'm glad to say he
takes those criticisms back after
he's been here a few months. But
he never gets over the impression
he is here to save England.
Hes the most homesick man in
the world. I really feel terribly
sorry for your boys because they
have such a difficult time adjust
ing themselves. The other foreign
ers In our midst are happier. They
left Europe as refugees and to them
this country Is a haven Of peace.
Dislike the Climate
Your soldiers strike us as very
naive. They are completely unso-
phisticated. But we envy them
their whole hearted enjoyment OF
things. They have far more zest
than we.
The two things your soldier dis
likes most about England are the
climate and our habit OF UNDER
statement. He never gets used t.
the latter no matter how long he
stays here"
Lady Cholmondeley said it was
encouraging to see how much hap
pier CTS are after they have been
In England several months.
Most of them finally settle down.
and form warm English friend

In two years of answering queries
Lady Cholmondeley has never been
stumped. Her most difficult ques-
ton came her first day at work
when a CT wanted the address OF
