officers of the Protet when they were
In San Francisco not long since; the
girls In that gay town undertook to
show them how French is spoken in
the United States.
Commander Abigarde not long ago
had a peculiar experience in hearing
his language spoken by sweet young
thing who is just out and still sweetly
given to the giggles.
"Oh, monsieur, je parle un peu le
francis" This with an air Of saying
what do you think Of that for modes
ty. "Le-no it's la-la langue est tres
jolie." Then there was pause, a gig
gle, and, "Oh, girls, don't Frenchmen
, bow Just dandy, anyway, and they are
ever SO much nicer than native sons.
Then she looked at the Commandan,
pityingly-his ignorance Of her Ian
guage. The sweet thing raised her
voice slightly, and said:
"Je disais, monsieur. que-que"-and
her vocabulary gave out.
Then the polite Frenchman said In
English, with beautiful Oxford &c
. cent: miss Smith. perhaps, after all
we shall be able to talk, for my mother
was an Englishwoman, and passed
, tmy childhood In dear old Surrey"
