"AMERICANS GOME," WITH OPEN PURSES, ENGLISH ARMS OPEN

By MARY HENKE. LONDON, May 26. 'The Americans come' is being chanted in Europe with as glad a voice as ever it -was during the war. It is almost touching to see the glad welcome given to Yankee tourists, until one hears murmurs of

'millionares' and 'making up for the i exchange rate' and that sort of thing, j

Lurope appreciates the Americans and ell that, but it is hard up, and thf purchasing power of the Yankee dollar is great. i ne best news any paper can publish jut now is the announcement that riany thousand Americans, nearly all ot them rich, are now somewhere on the Atlantic, on their way to visit Shakespeare's home and the battlefields and spend a lot of money. Equally welcome with the tourists are the American business men and buyers who have come with the intention of buying foreign goods. A special service has been opened in London to help American buyers get in touch with English manufacturers. Merchants in the States are showing great eagerness to get English clothes end this demand Is. expected to be good for industry. Pessimists, however, hold that it will probably prove another excuse to put the prices up. Get Axe Ready for 'Em. All of London is bustling about and rubbing its hands like an old time inn leeper getting ready to receive a wealthy guest. The papers are full cf advertisements addressed 'to Americans.' A young lady wants to conduct Americans about London; another 1?dy 'of established position would introduce them into society; a man who owns a flat in Chelsea has fitted it all up with a valet for some American bachelor able to pay; a decayed gentlewoman would look after and teach the proper English accent to a select number of yourful Americans. Books are written wholesale for Americans, telling them how to dress, what to see 1 where the best public houses are. ,ut let not the prospective visitor be deceived. All this is not being done for nothing. People have so got in the habit of seeing Uncle Sam pay the bills that they feel he must expect it. And they are putting on the prices. Put Prices Up Quickly. As soon as Americans began going

to Stratford-on-Avon again up went the trices there, until decent-minded Englishmen protested that it was a breach of hospitality and practical men who saw a way of paying off the war tax declared that Americans ought to be forced to pay a poll tax for making the prices go up. The way the cost of tours to the battlefields went up as soon as the tourists began coming across was too noticeable to be ignored. Last winter one could cross to Belgium, spend Feveral days there and see all that was desired for $25 or $30. Now you can't do it for less than $75. if you go as a member of a tourist party. The governments have a hand in the profits as well by requiring a quantity of passports and vouchers costing from $1 to $2 each, before one can cross the channel. Railroad fares may go up again, too, il Is predicted. Already they are 50 per cent above the pre-war cost and Ihe new increase is expected to make them just 100 per cent higher. This because the engine drivers are

asking $5 a day. If railoard fares go up, bus and transfer fares will be in. creased in London. So the prospects are that unless the tourist is a very vealthy man he will not be able to stand the pace. Learn American Accent. It is a point of pride with Englishmen to be able to detect tho Americans accent at the first word. Most of them learned to recognize it no doubt in France where the Tommies and the Yanks found each other's pronunciation a sure source of interest when all else failed. And then there is something about the Yankee tourist that invariably stamps him. He is always gathered bout relics of antiquity and greatness. The shrewdest American business man will not give a passing glance of interest to the Bank of England, but he never fails to run down to Stratford on Avon. It is reported here, that Americans are losing interest in Europe, having many troubles of their own to worry

about. But Europe is certainly not 'fed up' with America. Outside a natural interest in the

number of Americans v.ho are coming

iibroad to spend money there is a very keen interest in the purely national activities of the United States. Any Britisher of average intelligence is 'posted' on the American election possibilities. See Politics Behind It. The newspapers give a great deal cf space to the candidates and their chances. One reason for this is that

most English men believe the antiBritish sentiment in the States Is purely political and wiil die down after the election. And every Englishman, except the pugnacious editor of John Bull, wants 'to be on good terms with America." Two other things draw England's interest to the United States. One is the fight on high prices; the other is the future of prohibition. It is hoped that America will furnish a cue

Furs and Mystery By Palais Royal

Sable is a fur which people are usually somewhat cautious about buying, due perhaps to the money involved, and yet that same caution might well be used in buying furs of ANY kind. Were you in the market for a sable piece, the dealer without reputation would no doubt get little consideration, because you would feel that he was well armed with substitutes. And well you might. From the lowly rabbit, or coney, upward to the mink, no possible substitute for sable has been overlooked. Marmot, hare, fitch, weasel and muskrat are all used in attempting to imitate this most valuable of furs, but the deception is usually poor due to the fact that genuine sahle fur is long, dense and remarkably soft. Beside this, it is peculiarly rooted in the ?kin that it may bo' brushed with the hard in the natural direction, from head to tail, or the reverse, and it will remain as placed without apparent injury or loss of beauty. . The best grade of sable fur conies from Russia, and here again the dealer who lacks honesty has a chance to deceive. It is a common practice for such men to offer American W He at a price as high as that usually asked for the genuine Russian sable. It is well to bear in mind, too, that all unreliable furriers are not located in some back alley. Long profits can afford high rents for high rents often make "the game" easier.
