my LITTLE Pig"
ENDEARING TERM

The terms employed by the people Of
one nation as the choicest phrases in
their vocabulary Of endearment are
often employed for quite the opposite
purposes by other peoples.
One Of the most familiar and most
coveted phrases of endearment among
the French, for instance, is my little
pig" and my little puppy dog is also
much appreciated. When a French hus-
band calls his wife q cat" she does not
fly into a passion of resentment, as an
neutrality-suspicious. wife might DO under
the same circumstances, but takes il as
a gentle compliment On the other
hand. If he were 10 call her a duck
as the British husband might his wife,
she would be very much offended.
Some time ago in Germany letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to his betrothed were published. In
these the great soldier frequently called
the lady my little kernel Of coffee"
This strikes one as a very queer pet
name and has suggested to a cynical
authority that, in view Of the writer's
profession, my little grain OF powder
or my little lump OF Lead would have
been more appropriate
A persons individual Hkings and oc-
CupatiOn frequently supply him with
terms OF endeaTment. says Tit Bits. A
farmer sometimes calls his little girl his
colt" and a vell-knoWn fisherman, 10

his fishing expeditions with the words
