LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
II Does Not Require Much Time, II
One Has Patience and Per-
tinaclty.

'It doesn't require any great length
of time to learn a language if one has
patience" said a man who has mas
| tered several languages, according to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, land
when I hear a man regret that he is
unable to speak French or German, or
Spanish or some other language I'M
known to him, cannot conceal my
amusement. In nine cases out OF ten
I might say that the men who express
regret of this sort handle English very
poorly if that happens to be their Ian
guage. The chances are that their vo-
cabularies are extremely limited, and
it would probably surprise them to
know that, despite the advantages OF
birth and education, they could not
command more than COO or 700 words
in English if their lives depended upon
it. Yet they are able to carry on in
telligent conversation and many OF
them may become forcible and even
automatic in thoe- sayings, and they
plunge into discussions of literature,
art, music and other subjects Of such
fine elegance, and do it rather success
fully, too. Now. how long ought it
to take man to learn 600 or 700 or
even 1000 words in nay language?
Certainly it ought not to take any
great length of time, and from my own
experience / know that it does not. OF
course l am not speaking now OF mas
tering so that one can get the full ben
eft of all the refinements of speech in
a particular tongue. But l have in
mind the idea of speaking intelligibly
in a given language and being able to
understand perfectly what is said in
return. / have a system which have
worked out, and it has been OF vast
benefit to me, and has enabled me to
learn q number of languages. 1t oc-
CURED to me while / was in Mexico
few years ago on important business.
I could not speak word of Spanish
and could not understand the Ian
gauge. / concluded that would learn
the language. My plan was simply
this: made up my mind that l would
not retire at the close of any day as
long as was there without learning at
least three words in Spanish, how to
pronounce them and what they meant.
That would give me 90 words per
month, or something over 1000 in
years time. Istuck to the task, and l
was there nine months, and as result
of my system I was not only able to
converse in Spanish, but I carried on
my correspondence in Spanish. don't
suppose l could write an essay in the
language, but can speake it, write it
and understand it and it was all
brought about by the three words q
day system"

THE FLOWING SLEEVE.

The very latest variety of sleeve has
so large a bell below the elbow that it
hangs in a full pouch just above the
wristband. The bell form is accom-
plished in various ways, one of which
is after the manner of the old-time
flowing sleeve, ending anywhere be-
tween the wrist and just below the ell
bow. This sort of sleeve is improved
by slashing II up at the back and open
ing the inside seam few inches. A
deep lace or plated chiffon frill is
added inside, showing through the
openings. Elbow sleeves are very mod
ish for afternoon gowns Of any thin
material. and lace mitts are worn with
them. The little wristband is a fea-
ture Of many of the long thin sleeves,
and the fuller. more pouchy and trans
