Montclair Nesbitt asks if % the use
Of the umbrella in tho British isles is
more general than in this country; C2)
also about pronunciation of American
names by Britons.
% Yes, it is, most assuredly. If
you see two men walking together i'm

mine once, uses his umbrella for ev-
erything almost. IL is difficult 10 inn

uses Il to walk with and 90 point out
things with. He uses It TO examine
other things with; to call attention: to
fight with; In making and breaking
friendships He nudges his friend
with It to punctuate q joke. examines
his friends condition when ill by

gates the cause Of death. Then at the
grave he uses it to turn the last sod.

R. S. V. Pho, you need not part
the tails Of your coat when you sll
down. No man who does that Will ever
get his name in the encyclopedia. You
also made an error in judgment when
you acted as best man and combined
silk hat and tennis shoes. You must
never do that again.
The authority you give for wearing

and Eyes, ma'am." and mo, ma'am.'
Let the servants do that. Good frank,

or 1T never touched me-" or some
witty thing like that.

where things are sold. and a store is
one where things are stored.
One of the -Four Hundred, as he is
