A creole, strictly speaking, is any person
horn in this country or the West Indies Of
European ancestors; also any person born
in or near the tropics, and this is the sense
in which the word is usually employed, The
use of he word, however, has been by some
restricted first to children of foreign parents
born in Louisiana, and, second, to children
of Spanish or French parents born in Lou
i,iana, and then, in the north, the word
has been perverted so that it is believed to
imply Some strain of negro blood in per-
son to whom it is applied. 1t does not i'm
