I should be a strange phenomenon 2 | For every one is hurrying, Hvery one has a resolute, determinéd at, 48 of some important mission shortly to be accomplished 1 admire this hustle—but I cannot sre accustomed to it! ‘The mathematical precision of the “lay ont” of the city also fills me with a kind of wondering awe. How accurate it is! And how immensely irritated you New Yorkers would surely grow over our absurdly twisting, turning British highways! London really is a “maze”—a type of Chinese puzzle! Where the New York streets are stratght, the London streets are curving. They fly off at a tangent, too, in the most illogtonl style, And all are named, is numbered! But a child could surely find fts way around New York. s The next taing that impresses me about your New York streets | {is the speed at which your traffic goos—and the super-exeellence of | Sald traffic's “brakes.” Your taxi drivers are faster than thelr Lon- | don brothers, apparently take more chances, but pull up miraculously | within the fraction of an inch! j To regulate the traffic, our London policemen—tnown as “bobbies*— hold up a warning hand, a majestic, awe-inspiring arm. { But the New York “cop” employs a pole whereon are inscribed the |mystic symbols: “STOP” and “GO.” At first I could not comprehend the reason of the cracks and fissures |e some New York streets. 1 wondered vaguely what the town corporation ‘could be thinking of. But now I understand that this is due to extremes of heat and cold. We have no extremes of heat and cold in London. I love the New York drug stores, We call them “chemists’ shops” tn London, But the New York drug store beats ua quite completely. At is a compact little world all of fts own, with its soda fountains (oh, for such a cheery institution in old London town!) its eireulating library, its instant production of almost any article one wants! Here's to the ber ‘el York drug store! The boot shops fasctnate me too. Shoes with long, painted vempa- we've nothing of that sort in London! As for the big department stores, one coul spend a week there, ahd still leave the possibilities of the place unexhausted! va “What do you think of the store clerks?” I] was asked, “Particularly obliging,” I replied, “Taking genuine pains to satisfy the customer, and really interested. The New York store clerk Is’ a friendly being—very human.” | The quick lunch counters are something very new and unaccustomed to my British eye! Our London business men afow themselves a perfod of about two hours for lunch—eating a large and hefty meal, end generally consuming a fow after-luncheon cocktails. offices in a mellow—albeit soporific—mood, But the New York business man dashes through a “snack” meal in the space of per- haps balf an hour, and is back immediately to the Job. 1 love the New York barbers’ shops, | with their galaxy of well lathered clients re- posing in the swivel chairs where all may and none of them _ They return to their view them! At first, this strange spectacle this exposure of life's little intimacies —as- tounded me, But now I see how reticent and conserva- tive we Britishers are apt to be! Why not be shaved and “barbed” in view of the whole street or nation, if thereby the “barber's shop” is made a cheerier and a lighter place?
