GERMAN MANNERS.

BERLIN'S COURTESY WEEK

A Courtesy Week" has just been held in Grond Berim. This experiment arose out of a letter to the Press, in which a Berliner who had returned after many years abroad complained of the degeneracy of the city's manners." The Horgen post, it which the latter was printed, took the sel matter to heart, and offered over two hundred prizes, radging in gains" from a thousand marks downwards, na a stimulus to politenem in the capital and its Immediale. envirors. For a week members of the paper's staff spent their days and nights wandering," with watchful eyes, through thoso public places where men and women most do congregate. Whenever they ! observed in act of conspicuous courtesy- they accosted the person from whom it pro creded and handed to her or him a paper qualifying for the competition. As the

time they made detailed notes of the case. The awards will be made by prizo court, after the reports of the observers have been carefully weighod and compared Although the Morgenport has no political is probably has the biggest circulation in Berlin, sad the firm which publishes it owns several other popular papers, such as the Forsiache Zeitung and Berliner Zewung-am-fittag, so that the competition has been well adver tised and is generally known. The Morgen poal was careful to emphasise that it did not aim merely stas temporary improve ment of manners from motives of pecuniary interest, but hoped that through its initis tive Berliners will become permanently polite." That is certainly a little sanguine, for the prevalling rule in trams, trains, and thestre cloak-rooms "is" each for him- salt and the devil take the hindmost; and if a man gives up his seat to a woman the betting is long odds that he is a foreigner. However, the first step to improvement is recognition that it is needed, and the Wor penport has, at any rate, made a beginning in chat direction.

MANNERS MAKYTH MAN: IS ENGLAND THE MOST POLITE NATION

The following article by Mr. Lucien Jones is a.departure from his usual con- tributions to the Daily Express as a foreign correspondent. Whether readers agree or disagree with his estimate of European and English manners, they will find his opinions extremely entertaining.

Are we the pelitest nation in the world? he asks, com

Recently, I heard at an international gathering at Bikharest a charming Romanian hostess say, "I love English- men. I think they're so polite, and, above all, show true courtesy to women

Now, if you watched the Englishman abroad and compared his mode of address and his society manners with any Frenchmen, Italians, Greeks, or Germans. who happened to be present, you might take him for an unmannerly dolt. Think of the difference of greeting. An Eng- lishman" says simply How d'ye "dal" on meeting, and Good-bye" on parting, with, perhaps, slight inclination of the head.

A Frenchman, seeing bis hostess for the first time, bows profoundly, raises her hands to his lips, and exclaims, Enchanté de faire votre connaisance, chère madame," thus expressing his enchantment at making her acquaintance, On leaving he again bends himself double, re-kisses her hand, and says, Mille remertiments par votre charmant accueil, offering na fowed, than a thou- sand thanks for her charming welcome.

ELABORATE AND INSINCERE, +/- A German behaves in much the same way is Frenchman with his. “Kuse die Hande, Gnadigste" (I kiss your hand, most gracious one). Other nations have equally elaborate and insincere forms of approach

But observe these foreigners when the eyes of society are not turned on them. Rarely on the Continent have: I seen a man offer his seat to a woman in crowded omnibuses, trains, or tramcarste tande I know a venerable professor of medi- cine at the University of Vienna In the crowded Austrian street cars, where weary, half-starved women clutched at straps and young men, lounged-at ease on. the seats, he would get up and offer his seat saying, in a lend voice, Madame, as I am the youngest man in this tram, I have much pleasure in offering you my Beat"

The Poles excel all nations which have an abundance of superficial manners. Elaborate ceremonies are gone through on paying a visit. After a meal the visitor must get up and shake hands al roud: On parade a Polish officer, when meeting his brother officers for the first time, salutes, bows, shakes hands, clicks his heels, and again salates. He repeats the motions at every conceivable oppor tunity

Englishmen appear to be extremely popular with European women! I asked the wife of a Hungarian politician why this was so. "I like," she replied" and I think I am speaking for the great, msjority, your simple, direct way. Then, inbred again. you how to "women" an respect which Continental men seem to Jack"
