It sounds paradoxical and Impos- sible, but it 15 neither, as a very large portion of the American col- ony in London can attest, In the British metropolis therf live quite a large number of men and women who are representatives . of American business firms and they are pald their salarles in American dollars, But their expenses ar¢ in English pounds sterling. The result is that when the pound is rising, although thelr rent or what not remains the same—in English - money—it {n- creases in American money. For instance, not so many moons ago the pound cost four dollars, So that if a man and wife pald 15 pounds « board and lodging, this meant 60 dollars, But with the pound at $4.70, as it was the othor day, that same board in American dollars jumped to $70.50, or an in- crease of $10.50. And, of course, everything is in proportion. Which is why resident Americans cheer when the pound goes down and cuss when it goes up. s These Bolshes are coming on. They are not so opposed to titles as they used to be—at least, in foreign* capitals. Not long ago a big reception was | glven at the Sovict embassy in Ber- lin, Evening clothes or uniforms were expedted of all male guests, So that the gorgeous lackeys at the door were very much surpriséd when a little man in simple street cluthes‘ appeared. “What do you want here?” they asked haughtily, “I am expected, T am invited,” he said, as he showed his card, The door was opened, one of the lackeys crylns in a lond voice: “His Iixcellency, Mounsiur mel dent of the Reichstag von Loebe!"
