The Spanish orchestra was playing
a medley of old native airs and came
upon one which was a direct ante

prompted to speak.
"Oh, I think that's very nice of
those boys" she said, TO play that
American fotball song"
American football song?" growled
the diplomat, Immediately ruff1ed in
superior sort of way. MY dear
young woman, that is a very old,
traditional Spanish tune. American
football song, indeed"
We'll, it doesn't matter, of course" Z"
our friend replied. But I do think
it's silly to steal an old American
song like On Wisconsin and call it
a traditional Spanish air. If people
are sinking that low, it is no wonder
that Europe is decadent."

A newspaperman we know paused
