PLANS OUTLINED FOR
NEW HOTEL OPENING
Public Reception in the At
ternoOn and Dance at
Night at The Fairmont

A committee consisting of o. F.
Lough, W. M Chambers and John c.
BerchinaI met yesterday with Man

members Of the Fairmont Woman's
club. No program will be prepared
In the afternoon other than the inspec.
ton Of the building.
In the evening there will be a dance
and the hotel will still be open to the

some time during the day avail them
selves Of the opportunity Of inspect
ing the hotel.
Furnishings are arriving daily for
the hotel whether or not the opening

possible energy and is certainly doing
his best to have the hotel ready for
the holiday opening. In case a de-
lay Of some kind intervenes and the no.
tel is not ready, the opening will take
place Just as soon after the Fourth as
possible.
The day following the opening,

ParleZ'VouS tTanCalS VIII ne
common greeting when the selected
American army arrives in France.
The West virginian intends that
the soldiers from Fairmont shall be
able to respond: "Oui, oui Monsieur!
The West Virginian has added to its
staff teacher of French. Her first
lesson in the language OF our republi.
can allies of Europe will appear in
these pages tomorrow.
The teacher, Nine. Paul Archinard,
was selected because she is thorough
ly familiar with conditions the Ameri-
can troops will face on the western
front. She has made two trips to the
fighting lines in France, and has been
engaged in Red Cross and relief work
behind the lines.
Nine. Archinard's lessons will take
up phrases in common use, their
French equivalent and the pronuncia-
ton as near as 1t can be simulated in
English syllables.
Her first lessons will deal with ques-
lions such as soldiers will ask in in
quiring their way about French towns,
or Paris.
Later she will give phrases for use
in ordering meals in restaurant.
Other lessons will include French
army slang-for the American SOL
lier will wish to be conyersant with
he everyday language of his French
fighting fellow in the trenches.
No pretense will be made, or course,
that The West TiEginiaH's- printed les
sons will make the reader a fluent
speaker Of French.
They will supply a basis, however,
upon which the language can later be
learned or studied with profit.
They will supply the primary needs
of our selected soldiers.
They will be equally useful to young
women who intend going to France
as Red Cross nurses. Such young wo-
men should by all means study the
language of the country in which they
intend to work.
Nine. Archinards lessons will start
in The West virginian tomorrow.
Watch for them.
