Jean Patou, Paris couturier, sailing home after a U. S. junket, told reporters that he had been kicked in the shin by a Manhattan debutante while dancing.

The girl who kicked me -- she retained a comic expression of rapture. The effect, I would say, was at least bad on the eyes." Of other U. S. mores said he: "Those blood-red fingernails are awful. Blood-red against white napkins ! I think always I am dining with criminals!"
