MISS MoLL1E TALMAGE, a niece of
DIR. Talmage, was born in China and
lived there some time as missionary
She could speak Chinese before she
learned English. She says the Chinese
language is very difficult to master,
because so much depends on the tone
or pitch in which the same word is
spoken. For instance, the word 'Gee"
has eight different meanings as it is
pronounced. The word "Ku-je" means
''precions, and it also means devil"
One American who was studying the
language referred to his wife as his
'Ku-je," and as he did not get the
pitch right he called her devil.
