eyes, it's readable enough" said Mrs.
Frayne, passing over a new novel to
the member OF the book club whose
turn followed hers. But it exasper-
ated me so much couldn't enjoy it.
An Englishman wrote it, and he's taken
an American girl for his heroine. He
means her for lady-breezy and bit
unconventional, but educated and re-
tined-and one minute she 'carlates'
like a dOwn-easter, and the next 'reck-
ons' like a Southerner, and she spices
her conversation with slang Of all sOr,s,
from the cowboy variety to that OF the
Bowery and the college. To cap the
climax, she begins every other sentence
with 'Say!"
Mrs. Grayson laughed. Il should
think it would be too absurd to be vex-
atious," she remarked.
perhaps that's the way to look at
it." agreed Mrs. Frayne. ONLY
don't like to think that that's their
idea OF us. OF course some well-bred
girls do use slang-but not such slang
nor 80 much slang. And whoever heard
an American Of education or breeding
who addressed everybody with 'Say!'
1T can't be usual" agreed her hear
er. She added, cautiously, "But there
may be some Americans who ought to
know better and yet do 1t. We don't
always notice what we hear among
ourselves. The first time visited Lon
don a popular play was running, OF
which the hero's favorite phrase, and
the catchword of the piece, was why,
certainly! John and l agreed tnat
why. certainly was neither an Amer
icanism nor even common phrase IN
America. and we had never heard any
one use it habitually. Well, can as
sure you that we began to, II we nadn,t
hefore. It seemed as II every Ameri-
can we met for the rest OF our trip
couldn't agree with us In any other
form than why, certainly"
"But why, certainly doesn't SOUND
ike Say! It isn't nearly as common
and aggressive" protested Mrs. Frayne.

There was a rush Of swift feet on
the stairs, and the door few open. a

FULLER ON BENCH
FOR TWENTY YEARS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1O.-When
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller ap-
pesred in tho United States supreme
court Thursday he found upon his desk
. beautiful boquet Of twenty bright
red roses. The boquet came from the
associate Justices of the supreme court
and was q reminder to the chief justice
that he had rounded out an honorable
service of twenty years as presiding
Judge of the highest tribunal in the
land.
OF late there has been considerable
discussion in Washington over the pos
sibility of change in the near future
in the chief justiceship. Chief Justice
Fuller is IS years old and has been eli
gible to retirement on full pay since
his 10th birthday. He enjoys excel
lent health and appears to be good for
many long year on the bench still,
but after the honorable record and the
long tenure which he has already en-
ioyed it is not to be supposed that he
will desire to continue indefinitely.
Justice Fuller is an ardent Democrat
ana u8CuT8A1y WOuAO AAA0 w BOO q OOAA-
ocrat appointed his successor. If Mr..
Bryan should be elected, there is not
the slightest doubt that Justice Fuller
would retire, which would give Mr..
BRYAN q chance to appoint q Democrat
in his place. AS q matter Of fact it is
generally believed he will retire any
way. because he is reaching an age
when he is entitled to reap the fruits
of an honorable life in peace and quiet
and without the disturbing burden Of
important public Office.
Had the chief justice seen fit to re-
tire during the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt it 10 believed the latter
would have appionted Elihu Root rs
his successor on the bench. And it is
believed that should Judge Taft sue
coed to the presidency he would in all
probability carry out the Roosevelt
Affection for the secretary of state,
since Taft and Root are rs firm friends
as are Root and Roosevelt. In the
event of the election of Mr.. Bryan the
successor would become entirely . mat
ter of speculation.
