WU TING-FANG ON AMERICAN: DINNERS. Dr. Wu Ting-fang's article in Har per's Magasine this month has been much. commented on in the papers on both sides of the Atlantic. It is entitled "American Dinners and American Manners," and our Trans- though aimed directly at Atlantic cousins there are many sly, digs. that equally apply to ourselves, it may The chief difference be presumed. indicated is the American determination not to waste time, and the Chinaman`s conviction that there is time for every- thing. The comment is made, however, that the American dinner party is not merely a convenient way of obtaining sustenance. Dr. Wu thinks the provision of foods is excessive, though the dishea are comparatively few, there is attempt to maintain pure air, and for some inexplicable reason "the sparkling He champagne is never avoidable." would abellah alcohol in order to improve conversation, for, regarding Westerners aloof, he does not share our illusion that sparkling wine produces brilliant con- versation, His dinner companions can- not have been too entertaining, for hel proposes that talkers should be engaged to interest the entire company, who could thon enjoy their food in peace, or the entertainment might be varied by the engagement of a good professional reciter to reproduce literary gems, comic or otherwise.". Dr. Wu has hopes of gastronomy aiding diplomacy in the Bettlement of international disputes, for eating has always been associated with friendship." He also thinks our Western dianer, is inelastic, and contrasts the happier Chinese fashion by which several. invitations may be accepted for one evening and the guests may look in to partake of one or two dishes-out of a score or two-at each of the houses. He nils: "Chinese method makes possible thu cultivation of democratie friendships without violating aristocrate instineta, and for candidates at election times it would prove an agreeable method by which to make new friends." One West- orn seribe draws a good deal of fun out of the idea and suggests that the cangi daic for Parliament "Might have the kippered herring and excuse himself from going on to the marmalade.' But as manners count most of all, Dr. Wu bears tribute to the warm-hearted, genial and sociable" Americans; but he seems to have run up against some bad examples of British manners, and so there is no sign of our inclusion in the eulogy.

AN OPT-QUOTED APHORISM. The little-known origin of a well-known saying, "A man is as old as he feels, a woman as old. as she looks," has been put on record by the Liverpool Daily Post. The aphorism, it seems, is pure Liver- pudlian, and legal at that, During the trial of a breach of promise case there arose come argument as to the desirability of a man of forty-nine marrying a girl of twenty. Whereupon the judge delivered the famous epigram.
