Show Flute and Trumpet. There is one peculiar feature of well-bred well-bred English society that our American girls do not catch on to very readily: It is the habit of conversing in undertones, suppressing all broad and open sound. The average American girl speaks in loud, clear tones, with a metallic ring. She is not aware that people three squares away can hear her distinctly, dis-tinctly, but she does not care a button if they do. AVhether out shopping, carry-ing'on carry-ing'on a parlor flirtation, or talking at a hotel table the eonorious clangor of the American girl's bazoo drowns all other Bounds, or rather rises above them, piercing the ambient air and shattering the nerves of all the quiet people of the vicinage.
