A telephone call is made and you have a list of new acquaintances and parties that leave you breathless. "It may be all superficial and make it Impossible for you to get to know a few people real well, but it is delightful while it lasts. I suppose you do pick up a few firm friends from the many people you meet in such a hurried whirl of parties." Miss Moore's portrayal of the mutinous younger generation is an emotion which is not alien to the family experience. Her mother is Eva Moore, a noted English actress, who had to run awaj from home to follow her chosen career, following her departure, her Victorian elders washed their hands of the daughter who had chosen such a questionable profession.

Miss Moore's father was H. V. Esmond, a noted British playwright, who also had a struggle with his parents concerning his interest in the stage. Maxine Elliott, one of the most popular stars of the American stage, was her godmother, and W. S.

Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, accepted the status of godfather at her christening. With such a background there was little question of Jill Esmond's stage career. From amateur roles to the lead in an English fairy-story pantomime and her selection as one of the young principals her present play, th-i has taken only a few short steps in climbing well up on the theatrical ladder. a -8 more serious than young Americans. There are apparently more young mea and women in America than there are In England whose life Is a continuous search for a good time.

"The young people I know in England are concerned with their future, with the place they can make for themselves In the world, with the desire to do their bit to leave life a little sweeter and better than they found it. "The barriers that separate the various classes are breaking down and the lines that separate the quality from the rest of the people are gradually beginning to disappear- "Too many people from the humble tanks of life have achieved honor and prestige for themselves and have dona noble service for the nation to permit the old standards of personal value to remain. T)EOPLE are gradually becoming more interested in what a man is than-what his ancestors were. This will make for a mixing of classes which was un- known to old England. "One thing that startles me in America Is the widespread intolerance that prevails.

I have been to beach clubs and country clubs, and In each one was told that the club prided itself on the fact that it was able to exclude people of religious and racial groups different from those of the members of the club. "Such astounding intolerance hardly exists in England. "Political rivals are often personal friends. Ability, no matter of what race or creed, is not denied the highest places in the empire. "Americans don't seem to be able to stand the opinions of those who disagree with them.

Everybody in the same circle is expected to think the same thoughts. "I can't see what difference race or creed makes. It seems to me the' proper thing for all to mix together. "Since Tve been here there have been raids on birth-control clinics in New York. You never hear of such a thing In England.

"The greatest topic of conversation in America seems to be the stock market. Boys, as wells as girls, are vitally interested In the subject, and I have been to parties where no other topic had a chance to share the conversation. "While our boys may do the same thing.

"As In America, the chaperon has virtually disappeared although there are still many families in which the duenna Is insisted upon as good form. Mothers are becoming accustomed to the youthful habit of ignoring the odd person to a party, and where the parents re sensible they do not object to the new dispensation if they know the young men their daughters go out with. "If you meet a boy somewhere and you like him, it is just as easy to bring him home and introduce him to mother as to arrange a date without her knowledge.

"Some mothers effect a compromise by insisting that the party must be a foursome instead of a duet, believing there must be some safety In numbers. Girls do object to this, you know, and then here are ructions. "Don't get the Idea, because there are more motorcar in the United States than in England, that we don't ride for fun. It seems to me that more women drive cars in London than in New York, but this may be because your parking rules make chauffeur-driven cars necessary in the shopping districts of the big cities. "England doesn't ride on four wheels as often as Americans do, but the British boy takes his motorcycle out with the girl straddling the pillion behind him.

Families drive on three wheels, with the side car full of the children. "Sheiks cruising around in snappy-looking roadsters to pick up complacent girls are not exclusively American. Human nature is the same the world over, but there aren't as many boys with motorcars at home. And, as I mentioned before, there are no hip flasks to unsettle the senses of both. "English youth seems to me to be WW Voting people in England feel the same urge for freedom from old conventional restraints that America; does, but the English are so radical in tosshr- the old social customs rerboard ti A NEW world for women has arisen in England since the war.

So many men were killed, so many girls worked in the munitions factories and as clerks and typists in Government departments that the English girl has gone out Into a wider sphere of social life than she could have achieved in the old days. "She meet a greater variety of boys and there is a finer comradeship growing up between men and women. Girls now respect themselves more because of their ability to earn a living for themselves, instead of remaining dependent upon their families. Because of this, the boys have greater respect for them. "Another interesting development is the fact that the Englishwoman who chooses to remain a spinster can do so without the unpleasantness that used to be attached to the status of the unmarried woman, who was often the unwelcome charge of her family.

There are natural-born old maids just as there are natural-born bachelors, and the shortage of men makes it possible for the old mail to live out her life, earning her own living and finding happiness in her owa way. "I think the boys and girls of this generation, everywhere, are sweet, wholesome and decent. A certain number of every generation misbehave in a disagreeable way, but I doubt whether our own age is worse in that respect than any other."
