While Londoners-who want It-get less and less tea, New Yorkers who do not much care either way are getting more and more. main reason is that American buyers who go East in search of it are a keen-eyed lot of business-men driven on by the hope of a profit, while Britain's buyers are Government officials.

"What I'm really doing is making an inquiry into the logic of nonsense in certain works of art," she explained. "I'm pro- ceding on the assumption that nonsenso has certali definito Inwe It lan't just chance but a regular system."

Miss Sewell admitted that her expinnation of just what she is doing usunity in m:t with lifted eyebrows.
