SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1920 ~ NEW YORK PAPERS London Journals Are Anaemic Looking, but the ... New York Newspaper Is an Enthralling Volume; Everything Is Covered—From the Heart-Burn- ings of Sweet Sixteen to the Latest isl | un Crisis. By Miss May Christie © Miss Christie Is a Noted English Author and Is Known as the Laura Voan Libby of the British Isles. She Arrived in America Nov, 12. Copyright, 1920. by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening. World.) New York newspaper is a thing of joy forever! Tts SIZE is the first thing that definitely impresses the British mind. It is so bulky, so crammed with advertisements. There is so @mach reading matter too. \ Our British journals, on the other hand, are decidedly anaemic-looking, ue to paper shortage. They contain but a sheet or two. One can skim heir contents during the morning ride to business. But the New York newspaper is an enthralling volume! Hours can be spent in its adequate perusal. The whole field of news is covered— @mply—from the heart-burnings of Sweet Sixteen to the latest Buropean 't Meets You in the Morning With a Smile. | The New York newspaper is a friend. I'love its intimacy. I love its | chfonicling of small events, | «Those events too are presented in a most intriguing manner. They arécalculated to catch the eye—and hold it! | At first, I must confess, the headlines dazzled me! The conservative British mind is stunned by the bold black type—or red, perchance—that ‘ieads the page. 1 But one becomes attached to the big headlines. * The headings of each column too are most intriguing ““9HVENTEEN KILLED AS TROLLEY CRASHES.” The bold sweep | ofveuch a tement fascinates the reader. One repeats it, sotto voce, en- thralied. Never in a British newspaper have I seen such a heading to a news paragraph. Our tendency is to hide disaster—to tuck an inadequate announcement of such a happening into some obscure corner of our jour- i—to gloss over the unpleasantnesses of daily life with all its hazards, ati#What do you think of our New York newspapers?” I am often asked. ho They intrigue me to such a extent that I lie abed for hours perusing | i 1.” I answer truthfully. “They're so ALIVE, compared with our | |deturous British journals.

Your typical New Yorker does not merely content himself with a morning and evening journal, He carries home a iittle library of newspapers with him, and his wife and family read every iline that's written there—short story, serial, sporting page, advice to the Hovelorn, medical hints, beauty aids, international politics and every inch | | wt comprehensive ground that the New York newspaper so ably covers, “The Grudge Bearer Copyright, 1920, by The Prees Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) | eA OPA APRAALLAA PPP, The Best Treatment for the ‘‘ Grudge Bearer” Is » the Absent Treatment—True Friends Are Too 3) Valuable to Waste Time With Any Others. | tf by a very delightful little note, but) alas, for all her pains, the gift was | kept, but not a word of acknowledg- ment exeept a mere cold card such as FRIEND of mine came to me ‘the other day in a very sor- rowful mood It seems years|one might hardly send to a stranger.

They become hardened and sordid and ugly. Good people soon see them as they really are, and shun their society accordingly. How many lives have been broken and made sorrowful by the silly ac- tions of some grudo bearer. Just a few rules of what real friendship means might be sent forth in the direction of the person who takes himself or herself too seriously and thinks that he or she is the only one to be considered. My Creed of Friendship, as I have set forth before, is this: ye that real friendship, like vs better with the years, arm when the spirits are low and soothes to sleep the fever of unrest. In vain may we ask the stars why we come; neither do they tell where we go.
