New Yorkers’ Boundless Energy, Hospitality and Jolly Slang Interests Miss May Christie By May Christie Coprright, 1919, by ‘The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Lvening World.) W YORK is crammed with surprises for the Britisher who sets foot upon its soil, “Everything is so DIFFERENT from what it js in London!” I murmur, gazing at what seems to me the curiously attired “postmen” (or ie it “mail carrie: here?), the strange shaped letter-boxos, the elevateds, Street cars, negroes and the chewing gum! The New York newspapers astonish me! . Our British papers are so quiet, so decordus, so “correct.” The flaring headlines here bewilder me. The bulky volume of the papers too! Our London newspapers contain but a couple of sheets! But gradually I grow to love the New York papers, once I’ve “fou my way about” in them. The New York language, too, seems “different” from our London met ind talk, Conversely, they frequently don’t understand me, either! life very interesting. The typical New Yorker is polite, to a degree. More than polite— he’s “interested.” He shows his interest, frankly. asked a car conductor for a “tuppence-ha'penny” ticket. Then I corrected myself and pulled out a nickel. But’ he was interested in that ha’penn He had to know just what it was! ‘The bell boys in the hotel astonish me. They look so utterly refined— and tai so well! They might be Harvard students, from their looks! I can’t “place” any one, socially, as we do in London! Everybody seems 80 prosperous, cheery, well-dressed, well-educated, and refined, It really is confusing. . . . ‘ I love the hustle of New York—although it stuns me! 1 love the camaraderie, the joie-de-vivre, the welcome extended to the stranger- within-he-gates. “Pleased to meet you!” on introduction, that’s the phrase I always | hear. ‘It's said so genuinely, too—and followed by such a hearty hand- Srip! “Pleased to meet you!” is much more hospitable than our rather | chilly British “How-do-you-d I love the New York cabarets—although the total lack of wine is something that a Britisher is apt to miss, a little. However, the cutting off of liquor-does not seam t6 have “killed” the York cabaret in any way. Every one looks happy, smiling, and alert. | I think one sees more gorgeous clothes and Jewels on the women here! than on the other side. Dining at the Ritz here on Thanksgiving night, I compared the toilettes of the women with those worn a month ago by the women in the Ritz in London! And I concluded that the New York ladies | led the way in “style” and jewels and “effect.” H This makes, But—while the Englishman and the American woman look their best in evening dress—I prefer the American man in daytime clothes | “What are the three things that impress you most about New Yorkers?" a returned army captain asked me this morning. “First, their boundless energy,” I answered quickly. “Thetr capacity for sheer, hard work, for ‘hustle,’ literally astounds the British mind! Next comes their hospitality—their kindly welcome of the stranger—the | numerous Invitations they extend, the entertainments that they plan for! one, And—thirdly—comes their slang! At first it quite bewilders one— it sounds as untranslatable as Greek! But when one gets to know it, it is clever!
