Miss Dean is beautiful, too, has
a sense of humor. too. and can
sing we'll, too. She probably does
not yet sing as we'll as she some
day will-she's only been at 1t
professionally for year-but she
still can dazzle you with song
Or maybe it is the personality
and she just makes you think it's
the song that's dazzling you.
Miss Dean, whose leaning to-
ward the musical comedy stage led
her to study drama at Fordham
University for three years, be-
came a singer in what may seem a
perfectly normal fashion to a
happy, fortnight Texas girl. It
seems she was out in California
about a year ago, resting up after
having studied tap dancing night
and day for a number of months
1t also seems that the man running
a frontier pageant at Las Vegas
advertised for dancers.
Daisy whipped right up there
and applied for a job on the
strength Of her recent dancing
lessons, only she said she wanted
to be singer, not a dancer. Man
said okay, I can use a singer
Then she said she was still tired

This is the strange, sad saga OF
the plight of the bewildered Sill
yer encourage in a foreign coun-
trv. written to demonstrate diff
eulties inherent in the idea OF one
world. There are five OF us: the
old man, whose job is to impart
q fleeting glimpse of Yankee his
tory to students at Kings college;
the wife, Dutch, who grows tire
some boasting of her Mclean and
Akin ancestry and discussing the
intricacies of tartan patterns;
frankie Wilson, eighteen-year old
niece. who has discovered that
the only warm place in Scotland
is in bed; and Billy, aged ten,
and Betty, six, who remain anus
ing with their peculiar Southern
manners and speech to the boys IN
the grammar school and the
Young ladies of girls high.
Sometimes it is hard for US to
remember that we have the same
ancestors and language as these
British people we like SO mucn.
For instance
You may well imagine the
raised eyebrows of a dignified,
newly met lady the other night
when I suggested that her hus-
band take off his vest. We were
attending a very small, quite in
formal dinner party where the
heat and the conviviality seemed
10 indicate such action, but my
chagrin must have popped out
when it was pointed out to me
that I had really asked the man
10 discard his undershirt. That
same day l discovered, having
q pair Of British socks,
That they come nearly up to the
knees and are kept in place not
BY CATERS but by suspenders. Sus-
you know, are really

Britisher's diet but not in the
number of his partakings of food.

By r CALLAHAN

A young couple here who had
just got married had a most plea
SAINT surprise when a wealthy
friend gave them a present of a
weeks honeymoon at his ultra
exclusive country club. In money
the gift would have amounted to
several hundred dollars--if the
couple had even been members OF
the club - which of course they
weren't. Overjoyed, they went,
Toasted on pheasant, slept in
storybook beds and took in all the
sports. and amusements of the
wonderful place. There was only
one catch to it. The millionaries
with whom they came in contact
at the club snubbed them, max
ing them feel very much not at
home.
The rodeo has been in town and
the other morning I watched the
riders parade through the streets
of New York on their brisk bron-
chos. For a time the avenues were
turned into canyons, the streets
into trails and the parks into
great c~orrals. This eastern city
became, in fancy, a western cow
ranch. But the laundering herd
was of the two-legged variety.
It's just a good old American Gus
tom, playing cowboy again.
Two men died here last week,
one at the age of 40, the other at
90. The first was wealthy, high
ly- educated, and world famous.
The second had acquired only the
distinction of being King of the
hoboes." One had lived an illus
trious jam-packed life filled with
great achievements which had
taken their tool of his life. The
other advocated a leisurely life OF
travel and taking it easy. Both
got long obituary notices. Their
names: Edward Stettinius and
Dan O'Brien.
Dropped in at a Buddy Rogers
broadcast the other morning and
was a little bit impressed by him
but a great deal more depressed
by the herd of wacky women who
had flocked to see Americas
boy friend" of another day. Every
time Buddy and the master Of
ceremonies would ask someone

, water biscuit and a cookie is a
biscuit but a biscuit is a scone
with sugar. Blackberries are
brambles, oats are oats but more
| likely to be corn, while corn, ma
turally is maize. A dessert is not
usually a sweet, nor a sweet sweet
and a sweet may be followed by a
savorie.
All of which Is very simple
when compared to u trying to
teach the kids that pushing food
on the back of the fork with a
pusher (small knife and then
carrying the food to the mouth in
the left hand is good form over

The other day frankie was
pouring tea when n OF her GUS
toners remarked on the presence
of three strangers in the cup.
Having in mind a few friendly
southern gnats, the Mortified
young lady Immediately offered
to get rid of the offending cup
and to pour another. That is, UNI
til she discovered that the strang-
ers were parts of tea leaves which
had been deposited on the edge
of the cup and were really good
omens to be used in predicting
the future.
AS my half-dozen loyal read
ers probably know, over here a
radio is a wireless, a barber is a
hairdresser, general delivery is
poste restante, football is soccer,
hunting is shooting, a stream is a
burn which may be running
through a den or even a corrie, a
doctors office is his surgery with
or without medical Instruments,
a slaughterhouse is a knackery, a
brae is a hill, and a corporation
has nothing to do with free enter
You don't ask for long distance
but for a trunk, you 60 to a chem
list instead of a druggist, you
reserve a pullman but you
do book a sleeper, and you de-
post your bags in the left lug
gage. You buy bread unwrapped,
meat hangs unrefrigerated in the
butcher shop, and you may smoke
in the theatre. Aa a formal din
ner, however, you don't smoke
until after the toast to the king.
And, to answer a query from
Mississippi, banks are not called
shilling stations.
For awhile we stayed at the
Northern hotel, a four story
building. To get to our rooms
or the top floor - the third to
the British - we took not the
elevator but the lift. Amazing as
it may seem, over here an escala-
tor is called - an escalator.
We're getting used to these
things. Without being the slight
est bit self conscious, this morn
ing I told the tram conductor to
take out a "tuppence" and men
tally noted that from a shilling ]
received a sixpense, a "thrup-
pence" and a penny in change.
Yes, we have run into what to
us are strange customs. British
and Americans speak, with con-
siderable variations in pronuncia-
ton, the same language.

Recently there passed away a
revered figure in the educational
world, Dean Emeritus Hannah

Mourned by the faculty, students

from the audience to volunteer
for some foolish stunt, about fiji
teen of these buxom bellies of an
other era would jump to their
feet, Gathering to be let in on the
act. Doubtless it was a good thing
their husbands were not around
or they would surely have been
tempted to exchange their lives at
the nearest secondhand counter.
This part of the country has
long been known for its name
calling but the verbal brickbats
which flew in the election of
mayor and senator which just
ended bids fair to cap the stack.
O'Dwyer and Morris, the candi-
dates for mayor - I didn't count
Marcantonio - called each other
every kind of name that the law
would allow to be printed and
probably some others, in private,
that are not publically favored.
Dulles and Lehman, running for
the senate, dropped all semblance
of dignity and called each other
everything from liar to hypocrite.
It sounded pretty raw - but isn't
it nice to live in a country where
people can speak their minds as
they please and freely and pri-
vately express their choice at the
polls?
