THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

In Europe there are people who have lived in the same houses and been in the same job for 20, 30, 50 years and would hate to change something. That’s not the American way of life. They love changes, they call it “the spirit of adventure”, a spirit that they think is more characteristic of America than of Europe. In the States they seem to be constantly pulling down old and often quite beautiful houses or throwing away things merely because they are old. They have none of the Englishman’s sentimental love for things because they are old. The Englishman prizes privacy, the American prefers sociability. The American houses have no hedges or fences separating them from each other. There are none of those little shut off gardens, generally just a strip of grass with trees on it.

The American in his house doesn’t object to being seen by everyone-he actually likes it. And inside the house, instead of the separate hall, living room, dining room so typical of the English house, the American has ”open plan” house, just one large room where all the family activities go on. With this sociability goes overwhelming hospitality. You are invited to parties at the houses of your friends, to theatres, dinners, sports meetings. They all show the interest in your affaires and ask you to let them know if they can help you. When you are invited to a home where food will be served, it is best to let your host or hostess know in advance if you have dietary restrictions. In some houses the atmosphere is formal. In others, it is informal and you may sit at the kitchen table dinner. Informality is not a slight or discourtesy, but the way of taking you into the warmth of the family circle.
