A Westerner soon comes to the conclusion that English people are much easier to get acquaint ed with than New Englanders. This writer once made a casual remark to his next-door neighbor at a restaurant counter in New York and received this rebuffing answer: "You're one of these Westerners who speak to strang ers, aren't you?" There is none of that attitude here. A TYPICAL example is a fairly large farmer upon whom this writer called in the Midlands the other day. He was in his OF FICE these English farmers on a fairish scale have offices, even including a combination book keeper and stenographer, and often an inter-communicating telephone system so that they can speak direct and without going through a central office to their various operations.

But by that time this writer was getting onto the system and in stead of hurriedly excusing him self and getting away from there plunged into questioning for the operation was an interesting one, with much to challenge an American's curiosity. Under this barrage of questions the Englishman's reserve (I'm per sonally convinced it is SHY NESS) melted almost immedi ately and in a few minutes he was calling up his car and in sisting on going on a tour of his entire establishment and dur ing the tour he was as interested and as proud and almost as voluble as an American would have been in similar circum stances. -.'',".

They kept the cigarettes, disposing of their seven packages in their various pockets in such a man ner that there would be no bulges to draw down the ire of an MP for being "out "of uni form," and then started down the street passing out the candy and chewing gum to every child as long as it lasted Not in a patronizing manner.
