Mr George GrossmiTh, junior, has been describing the ways and manners of the English Johnnie. ‘lama Johnnie myself,’ he has informed an American journalist, ‘ and can speak authoratively about the character. When Johnnie rises in the morning he does not take breakfast. He takes a brandy and soda. Then he goes to his tailor and pays a friendly call. From the tailor Johnnie strolls on to Piccadilly and walks that thoroughfare till one. Then he lunches at his club, the Wellington or the Isthmian. After luncheon he hurries home to change his clothes. He goes out again and walks Burlington Arcade till dinner time. In the evening he goes to the Gaiety or the Empire, the only places of amusement in London that he honours with his presence.’
