The Doughnuts of England,
In writing of the little English town
of Hythe in Harper's, W. D. Howells
tells of an amusing discovery in a
pastry -shop.
“In the window of the little pastry.
Hythe where we gol some
shop at

excellent
tity we, with wildly beating hearts,
scarcely ventured to establish, but,
‘What are these? we finglly asked,
“‘poughnute,” the answer came,
and we could not gasp out the ques
tion:
“‘But whore are
the fish-balls?"”
“We might well have expected
them to rise like an exhalation from
the floor, and greet us with the sol
emn declaration, ‘We are no more
American than you are, with your
English language, which you go round
with, here, disappointing people by
the baked beans,
not even speaking it through your
nose, We and you are of the same
immemorial Anglo-Saxon tradition;
we are at home on either shor
sea; and we ghall attest the unity
the race's civilization in all the
to come."
