ClR WALTER SCOTT wrote
the Tales of a GRANDPA
Their" Somebody ought TO
write the Tales of a Grand
mother" before it is too late. Re
cent excursions into American
isms" and Criticisms" have
brought to mind quaint phrases
which are neither American nor
British. They belong to the COM
mon stock from which our Eng
fish speech has grown. Grand
mother used them in her day, and
did not know that she was saying
something strange.
Whose grandmother? Yours, to
be sure, and mine, and the grand
mother of anybody you like to
name. Most of US have had a
grandmother-one, If not more
than one. Mine was a host In
herself. Let her stand for the
grandmother of all men and wom-
en- everywhere who love the flavor
of homely English speech and are
not willing to let is pass from hui
man memory.
Richard s Hatband.
She was a fine outstanding fig-
ure of a woman, my grandmother.
She lived to be SO. and 1t was the
disappointment of her life that
she died before she was 100 She
had healthy contempt for per-
sons who could not sit bolt up
right or stand erect. Like cat
in pattens" was her description of
the stumbling, shutting walk of
person awkward upon his feet.
A patten was a wooden clog
raised several inches from the
ground by an ir1n framework I'M
derneath the wooden sole. The
housewife wore a pair of pat
tens" when she was "swilling" the
yard or washing the kitchen floor.
or after she had washed it and
before she flung the sand upon it
in the first instance so as not
to wet her feet, in the second so
as not to leave the marks of a
dirty shoe.
"As queer as Dicks hatband"
was common on her lips, though I
am bound to say that / never
heard the description of the
aforesaid hatband which a learned
writer gives. He says that the
popularity of it was that ut went
round nine times and would not
tie at last"
The reference is to the nine
days protectorate of Richard
Cromwell, son of the great oliver
uncrowned king of men. 1t is
the fashion to regard Richard as
q futile person and his nine days
reign" as a ridiculous thing; but
two men of letters, a Frenchman,
Scribe, and an Englishman, Bull
wer Lytton, have taken very diff
ferent views. I confess to a weak
ness for Lytton's generous ap-
praisal Of Richard Cromwell, and
in a day when the doctrine of
"spoils" is revived I am inclined
to wish that some other politi-
clans would act in such a way as
to give to the world an exam
pie as fine as that of Dick and
his hatband.
How Phrase Started.
Grandmother used to call a
thing that was confused "all skies
and sevens." When we were sent
out to buy pound of tallow can
dies, we were told to ask for
short sixesI or long sixes,' the
short ones being stout and the
long ones thin, and in any case
running six candles to the pound.
1t is possible that at an earlier
day some ran seven to the pound:
and so things that were mixed
were all skies and sevens."
