Two Sundays ago the Rambler told
OF the trouble he had with the motto
on the Fenwick coat-of-arms and said
that he would turn over the case to
Frank Hemelt, the best Latinist he
knew he knew. / hand you this letter
from Frank:
I'm last Sundays Star the Rambler,
i fear rather out OF the goodness of
his heart than out Of the fullness
or his head, was pleased TO call me
names, even if they were names 1
must take as a compliment rather
than as an offense. He informed his
readers, who are many and learned. 1
am sure, that he would refer the
linguistic crux he met in the FenwicS
motto to Frank Hemelt, who is,' he
lightly said, one of the best Latinists
l know I cannot bring myself to
believe that so widely a known per-
son in Washington and remoter parts
as the Rambler knows no better
Latinist than myself, as flattering an
JUNCTION as that is to my vanity.
Surely the lines he indited were a
lapsus styl, or pennae, or machinae
typographicae, whatever the manner
Of the Rambler's writing is. Let it
go at that.
But to the mutton OF the motto, to
flch the Ramblers diction. The artist
drew a very lame-looking W between
the vi and the At with a smudge
or blot over it. Was that done at the
Rambler's suggestion and he thereby
a particeps criminis? 1 suspect the
letter should have been q healthy full
percent " At all events, 'Perit ut
vivat' is good classical usage and
makes equally good heraldic sense.
Some day when the humor is on me
I shall look up my friend DIR. Martal
at the Library of Congress and to-
gether we shall poke our noses into
some musty old tones, and l am sure
we shall find the disfavored W in the
full effulgence Of it's pristine glory.
But the Rambler is good stuff. Vivat
there you have IT'D, fioreat. crescat!'
Thank Won. Frank
